Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

Illuminations was one of those albums perpetually in the cut outs section of Virgin along with Man's Slow Motion and the first Chapman Whitney record. I was a huge Santana fan up to the 76 tour when they went a bit showbiz and I was lucky enough to buy it for £1 or £1.50 in 75. Confused me totally but it was a lot more accessible than the Lifetime record I got for 50p the same day. It was that period pre Punk when Jazz Rock was basically Prog by other means.

Anyway ... if you like that one then there is a Bill Laswell "reimagining" of it where he fuses parts of Santana's work with Alice Coltrane with parts of Love Devotion and Surrender. You will like I think.
