New Santana, Lowest Dynamic Range Ever

I'm not much of a Santana fan but did like some of the '70s stuff. Heard nothing but good about the new release Africa Speaks so got it. As usual, first thing I do is check dynamic range. Well this is the lowest in my collection. DR4, ranging from 3-5. I won't be listening to this at all.

A criticism that has been leveled at Carlos playing more than once in recent years.


A real shame as they were pure magic when I caught them live back in England in 78 or 79.


But with all that said I personally thought his earlier mini ep release this year , In Search of Mona Lisa was better fare.

Funny you should mention that album.

I "tried" to listen to it last night on Qobuz.
Truly awful ,gave up after few minutes of skipping through tracks to see if all the same.

Just another victim.......
