Negative Positive
Title: Often overlooked, but worthwhile
Review: After having neglected this disc, I find I like it more and more. The opening tune is smoking after its neo-Buddhist opening. That and "Jin-Go-La-Ba" are likely the two most danceable efforts. It is also great to hear "Gypsy Woman;" people always sing along with the chorus when this disc plays. "Choose" is not a terribly strong song, but props for having the great (and often under-rated) Bobby Womack sing lead . Other stellar guests include Vernon Reid, Alphonso Johnson on bass, and Wayne Shorter on saxes (Soweto.) I refuse to believe I am the only one who enjoys hearing a version of "Who's That Lady" which confronts the original and Ernie Isley's bad self on guitar. "Full Moon" and "Peace On Earth/Mother Earth/Third Stone" display guitar work which stand well with other efforts by Carlos. Once again, I think this is an overlooked gem.
