There always seemed to be something of interest in those subsequent offerings, just not solid, until Supernatural. That's me for that... |

In fact, this song came from their stellar second album in 1970. Abraxis. Hardly generic. It was considered a bold departure from their debut. Likely older than you are. Not your fault. But, when you say "Great", I agree, particularly re: the timbale work on this song! |

| WonderLizard (2,755.46 mi. due east of Paradise) | Posted: Dec 22, 2011 - 19:11 Only because of the name "Se A Cabo..." On the subway the other day I heard a couple of college students planning their winter break trip to my home town, San Francisco, when one of them sez, "My dad's got a place in Cabo. We should drive down there. It's only nine or ten hours." I had to laugh. Cabo San Lucas is at the tip of Baja California some 1,550 miles south of The City, probably 26-27 hours of driving time alone much less taking poddy breaks and the like. I don't recall being that clueless/dense in college, but who knows? Maybe I was. |

I took a brief look at his comments page, and noted that his ratings form a bell curve, with mostly 7s, pretty much like anybody else's. His comments, though, are mostly snarky. So my theory is that Mr. Tex had his lunch money stolen by Carlos Santana in grade school, thus explaining his hatred for all things Santana. Also, I believe Mr. Tex thinks he's really clever, explaining the snarky comments. Just a theory. |

It is actually written that way in the disc? because the sentence doesn't make sense. It should be "Se acabó" It is wrongly spelled, but why? is it intentional or a word game? if so then what is it supposed to mean? (I'm Mexican) I have both the vynil edition and the CD edition of this album, but not with me right now. Amazon.com lists the name of the track as "Se A Cabo", which—of course—would be a misspelling of "Se acabó" (which translates to "it's over") as you correctly point out. Why did they misspell it? I have no idea, only some predictable hypotheses. (I'm not Mexican, but fluent in Spanish  )Salud!  |

Gaining early recognition as the powerhouse drummer for Santana, the teenage Shrieve was launched into the popular culture maelstrom when he performed an extended drum solo during Santana's appearance at the legendary Woodstock festival. Over the years, Shrieve has continued to strive for innovative approaches to percussion-based music. His numerous collaborations include work with Stomu Yamash'ta, Klaus Schulze, Steve Roach, David Beal, David Torn, and Andy Summers, to name a few. I saw a YouTube video of him awhile back playing at an outdoor music festival in the northwest. As Wonderlizard mentioned, he played with Stomu Yamash'ta and Steve Winwood on an LP in a band they called "Go." I've got it on vinyl. Good music to listen to when in an altered state. Especially the cut "Crossing the line." |

Know exactly what you mean. I saw him in London a year or two and I found it very repetitive - and may sound carzy - boring. But I still love Caravanserai |
