AllMusic Review
For his third duet album, Carlos Santana performed the works of John Coltrane, paired with Coltrane�s widow, harpist/keyboardist Alice Coltrane, on this instrumental album. Side One includes several contemplative, string-filled numbers, while Side Two presents Santana�s re-creation of John Coltrane�s late free jazz style in �Angel of Sunlight.� Columbia Records could not have been pleased at Santana�s determined drift into esoteric jazz: Illuminations was the first of the nine Santana-related albums so far released in the U.S. not to go gold.

Vocalion
Alice Coltrane and Carlos Santana�s 1975 collaboration Illuminations (Vocalion) positively glows on this SACD reissue. Engineer Michael Dutton�s peerless remastering of the quad mix is simply breathtaking. The extra depth found in the swirling string sections, Coltrane�s piano and harp and Santana�s stratospheric, sustained notes imbues this album with a whole new level of glittering detail. The racing turbulence of Angel Of Sunlight, in which a full band, propelled by Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette�s rhythm section, appeared somewhat earthbound and compressed in the original mix. Here, however the spatial placement of instruments reveals previously obscured elements of the score and interplay that�s nothing short of a revelation as the entire ensemble take flight on their way to spiritual bliss.
