Wohl kaum ein Schulball in den 70ern, auf dem nicht das schwelgend-feurige "Samba Pa Ti" Milchbärte und Schlaghosen umstrich - Santana waren und sind der Inbegriff für einen genialen Mix aus Jammenden Latino-Elementen, Blues-Touch, Rock-Appeal, quirliger Perkussion und satten Vokalsätzen. Bereits die drei ersten LPs der gut 30 Jahre frischen Band aus San Francisco brillierten mit dieser exotisch-bodenständigen Mischung - schwer, eines der drei Alben als "das Beste" zu küren. Mit Verspätung, ein Jahr nach Carlos Santanas 50. Geburtstag, macht seine Plattenfirma ihm und den Fans nun ein wohlklingendes Geschenk: Die Sony-Ingenieure unterzogen die Alben "Santana" (1969), "Abraxas" (1970; 489 543 2; 05/03-04) und "Santana III" (1971; 489 544 2; 05/03-04) einer Remaster-Kur. Sie digitalisierten die Analogbänder mit ihrem 24-Bit-Verfahren "Super Bit Mapping" und rechneten die Datenflut mit einem ausgetüftelten Programm auf den 16-Bit-CD-Standard herunter. Songs des Debüts wie "Jingo" oder "Evil Ways" erstrahlen so in detailreichem, dynamischem Klang, die Perkussion sprüht lebendig - nur die Gold-CD "Jingo - Best Of Santana" (ZOUNDS-PHONO Music/VMV CD 27220024) tönt noch etwas frischer. Drei rare Live-Bonustracks vom Woodstock-Festival 1969 machen "Santana" zum Muß. Doch auch die beiden Nachfolge-Alben glänzen nun mit prima Klang und Live-Zugaben aus der Royal Albert Hall oder dem Fillmore West. Ein gepfeffertes CD-Trio für heiße Mittsommernachtsträume - zum Midprice!

Nicht neu, aber immer wieder bewegend ist Santanas musikalischer Lobpreis auf die unendliche Güte Gottes, seine Beschwörung der Brüderlichkeit unter den Menschen. "Milagro", das 16. Studioalbum des Latinrock-Klangzauberers, ist speziell dem Gedenken an Miles Davis und dem legendären Impresario Bill Graham gewidmet - sie gaben dem Gitarristen wichtige Inspirationen. Eine Nähe zum Santana-Livekonzept ist bei "Milagro" auffällig. Songstrukturen spielen eine untergeordnete Rolle, die Musik ist ständig im Fluß, wechselt von elastischen Gitarren-Figuren zu rhythmischen Explosionen, eilt dann weiter zu hymnischen Melodien, denen Alex Ligertwood sein kraftvolles Soulorgan leiht.

Tears For Fears are one of those bands, poisoned by association with that most terrible of decades, the '80s, that desperately deserve at least reappraisal, if not complete rehabilitation. Sure, their fondness for the grandiose and lush dates them somewhat, but at the core of the band was a gifted and original mind, a songwriter with enormous ambitions for his music that, more often than not, were fulfilled in spades. 'Songs From The Big Chair' in particular now sounds like a classic of its time, immaculate pop like 'Shout' and 'Head Over Heels' still working their magic fifteen years later. Those fifteen years haven't exactly been a doddle for Roland Orzabal, though. When partner Curt Smith left during 'The Seeds Of Love', it shouldn't have made any odds to either the band's sound - his input was minimal - or their success. But '...Seeds...' showed that Smith did at least help to curb Orzabal's more ponderous tendencies; without him, the record became overboiled and occasionally unrewarding listening. Next album 'The Elemental', though clearly cut from similar cloth to the previous two, lacked the pop flair for which the band were best loved, and did very badly. The least said about 1995's Sony release 'Raoul And The Kings Of Spain', the better. Which brings us here. Though the last two Tears For Fears albums were solo recordings, this is the first time he's released a record under his own name. Having produced 'Love In The Time Of Science' for Emiliana Torrini, he claims to have found new inspiration, and put this record together. At the same time, he's being very low key, eager to stress that this is not a typical Tears For Fears grand statement, just a collection of songs, no biggie. And he's right. 'Tomcats...' is a fresher, more enjoyable record than 'Raoul...' and 'Elemental' because it doesn't seem expected to express any deep and inherent truths; it's just some songs. The use of drum'n'bass rhythms, and a deep debt to Orbital, are a touch worrying at first, but Orzabal clearly understands how and why they work, so they never feel bolted on. And sure enough, some of his pop sensibility has returned in the process, making 'Tomcats...' a very accessible record. For many Tears For Fears devotees, the fact that this album lacks Orzabal's trademark soul searching and ponderousness may be a disappointment; but to the rest of us he's climbed out of a rut.

MILAGRO

We can make it work
We can make it work
We can make it work
We can make it work

We heal the people with music
We free the people with music
We heal the people with music
We free the people with music

With music With music
With music With music

We can make it work
We can make it work


SOMEWHERE IN HEAVEN

Somewhere in heaven
There is a place
Waiting for you and me

He made a promise
Gave every drop of blood
Died on the cross so we’d be free

Oh Oh Oh Oh

Somewhere
Somewhere in heaven
There’s a place waiting
Waiting for you and me

He made a promise
Gave every drop a blood
And died right on the cross
So we’d be free

He made a promise
When he gave every drop
Of his blood
Died on the cross
So we’d be free


SAJA / RIGHT ON

Saja is an instrumental piece.
The following lyrics are for Right On.

Hey baby
That’s all right people
I know that’s all right
Oh when we love, Oh each other
I know that’s all right
Oh feel it, feel it, Oh everybody
Feel it
God knows that’s all right, yeah

Some of us were born with
Money to spend
Some of us were born with
Races to win, oh yeah
Some of us are aware that it’s
Good to fuss and care, oh yeah
Some of us feel the icy wind of
Poverty blowing in the air

But those of us who simply
Like to socialize
For those of us who tend the
Sick and heed the people’s cry
Let me say to you: Right on
Right on, feel it, yeah
Oh, Oh, Oh, People and I say right on
Right on honey, right on

For those of us who live yeah,
Well peace is craved
For those of us who live with hatred is enslaved
For those of us who live a life
Surrounded by good fortune and
Wealth, talk about it
For those of us who live a life
(hey, hey, hey) enjoying ourselves
For those of us who got drowned
In the sea of happiness
For the sould who takes pride in his
God and himself and everything else
That’s all it is. We need love
Love, love, sweet love
Wonderful love
Oh, true love, love
Love for your brother and love,
Love for God
Love pure love
Oh, true love can cover hate every time
Give out some love and you’ll find peace sublime
My darling, one more thing
If you let me, I will take you to live where love is king


YOUR TOUCH

My mind runs away with me
I just want to be with you
Where? Where I don’t care
To be next to you
To be by your side...

Chorus:
I..I..Oh I..
I just wanna get next to you
I..I..Oh I..
I just wanna get next to you

My mind will not leave me alone
Can’t sleep, I just want to be with you
Your touch is all I need
Your touch is all I need
To see me through

Repeat Chorus


LIFE IS FOR LIVING

In this world there is so
Much anger
Our lives are in danger
We are all living in fears
We’ve got to stop the tears

Life is for living
Why must we wait
We all need some loving
Then why do we hate?

In South Africa things are
Still the same
The face of humanity still
Hasn’t changed
People have to fight to live together
And share with one another

Chorus:
We can change this to be
A better place for all
If we listen to others when they call
Give a shoulder to lean on
When they fall
Let us bring down the
Apartheid wall

Innocent people pay with their lives
‘Cause the truth it cuts like a knife
Mandela’s life is wasted in jail
Raise your voices for freedom

Chorus

Woza Mandela
Sibizi’ gama lakho
Woza Mandela


RED PROPHET

(Instrumental)


AGUA QUE VA CAER

Malo tiempo yo no quiero
Que me traigan .... desa fino
En mi soledad
Anagel divino yo no quiero
En mi camino la fatalidad
Cuando veo al cielo
Que se esta Nublando
Cuando veo al cielo
Que se esta nublando

Chorus

Agua que va caer
Te juro que va mohar

Adios

Mis Amigos Adios
Hasta Manana


MAKE SOMEBODY HAPPY

Make somebody happy

Love me...Love me with all your heart
And I will..and I will..I will...
I will...I will
I will take care of you

Make somebody happy
Make somebody happy
Make somebody happy
Make somebody happy

Just you...just having you by my side
I will..and I will..and I will..I will...
I will..I will...
I will be satisfied

Make somebody happy

Make somebody happy
Make somebody happy

Repeat chorus and vamp out.


FREE ALL THE PEOPLE (SOUTH AFRICA)

You got to free all the people in South Africa...
You got to make life worth living in Soweto
You got to free all the people in South Africa
You got to make life worthwhile
Give reason to smile

Freedom is a birthright
Given by Jah to Man
You can not claim it...This you must understand
Who are you to decide...Who has to give it up
Know it in your heart...That it’s wrong
They’ve had enough

Chorus:
Slavery is brutal...It steals your identity
Wherever it’s living...Suffer humanity
What leads you to believe...You can treat people so
You know it isn’t right...Give up the fight
Let them Go!

Chorus

It’s not right...This hate for Life you’re teaching
No more fight...We’re all in this together
You’ve lost sight...You’ll never find what your
Soul is seeking
You...you abolish...Apartheid

Chorus


GYPSY / GRAJONCA

WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT
