Santana’s Abraxas doesn’t sit still, it moves.

Spinning Hot Buttered Soul (1969) tonight.

On an original Enterprise pressing, the space in “Walk On By” feels intentional strings wide, bass grounded, Hayes steady at center. Not rushed. Not loud. Just controlled.

Some records ask for patience.

This one rewards it.
