Album Description
Multi Dimensional Warrior summarizes the soulful, spiritual side of a sonic pioneer who has made a multi-platinum career out of defying all attempts to be categorized. Divided into two halves for two distinct listening experiences, the first disc gathers 14 powerful songs with vocals, while disc two consists of 14 inspiring instrumental tracks. Emphasizing the high level of musicianship the band always has been known for, this thematically arranged collection is a rare opportunity to experience the personal side of Santana, a timeless musical innovator who has sold more than 90 million albums, and counting, worldwide.

 Santana Lite October 14, 2008
25 out of 32 found this review helpful
I am a huge Santana fan, dating all the way back to the 1970s, but this compilation totally misses the boat. Sure, there are a couple of decent songs on Multi-Dimensional Warrior (mostly on the instrumental disc 2), but it's like Sony went out of its way to put together a two-disc set of Santana's most bland tunes. Maybe they were trying to increase airtime on Lite Rock radio or something.
For those of you who have never heard vintage Santana at all, just check out the song samples from Santana (I)--the one with the lion head cover--here on Amazon, or listen to "Soul Sacrifice" from the original Woodstock soundtrack, then come back and listen to the samples from Multi-Dimensional Warrior. You'll wonder what the heck Sony was thinking with this release.
For full immersion in Santana's classic era rock, pick up all of Carlos and the band's first three discs: Santana (I), Abraxas, and Santana (III). For a taste of Carlos' jazzy side, get Caravanserai. For his spiritual side, Welcome is a nice entry. And for the best of his modern era stuff, Supernatural is the one to get.
In any case, do yourself a favor and skip this weak compilation.
 A Different Dimension of Santana October 17, 2008
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
Multi-Dimensional Warrior is an album misleading to Santana fans of whom think this album is a greatest hits collection. (Ultimate Santana is the place to go.) This album is here to guide Santana fans to a place forgotten. Most so called Santana fans know only of Santana's original 3 Albums & Supernatural Never realizing the balanced geometry of his overall palette. Multi-Dimensional Warrior covers the rest.
On disc one; Carlos reminds us of his spiritual side, the soulful side of Santana. Those looking for Santana's rock roots need to look elsewhere, this is Santana searching for his spiritual soulful side.
On disc two; look for Santana to jam, slow guitar based Jams which accentuate his strengths.
Again do not look for Santana's Greatest hits. This album consists of Santana's strengths, his ability to uplift. To inspire! so kick back and enjoy this music with a glass of your drink of choice
Handpicked by Carlos himself October 15, 2008
6 out of 10 found this review helpful
Don't pay attention to the reviewer that gave this 2-cd offering 2 stars. Carlos handpicked every song with the goal of having songs that gave a male energy and songs that gave a female energy. This is a great set and if you truly know and love Santana and his music (rather than just being a pontificating poser who doesn't truly "get" the man and his music) you'll add this to your collection. Yes, there are cuts that we all know by heart but there are also some not as well known or never heard. Again, it was Santana's goal to offer a compilation of male and female energy so sit back and enjoy the offerings. Peace, Soul, Spirit, Love and Blessings.
Santana songs I'd forgotten October 15, 2008
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
I am a huge Santana fan & have been for at least 25 years. I own several other Santana "Best of" & compilation collections, but this one is going to end up being my favorite. The master picked these songs himself which makes this collection that much more interesting. These are Santana songs I have always loved, but had forgotten about during "Supernatural" & "Shaman" years. I offer a huge thanks to Carlos for highlighting songs that true Santana fans may have forgotten about, & letting younger fans who only know Santana's music from the "Supernatural" years and later, get a broader glimpse of a true musical genius & American music, but not just American, a World music icon.
The chill collection October 22, 2008

Great double cd...it's refeshing and chill. There are other discs you can get that are more jammy and rockin, but this rocks in it's own beautiful way. It's great Sunday afternoon music with the 1st disc having a vocal emphasia and 2nd having an instrumental emphasis all handpicked by the man himself. Well-done!
