Here’s what I want to know. I want to know about the song, “Written in Sand”. I want to know how that song ended up on this record.
Why?
Because it is credited to Mitchell Froom and Jerry Stahl.
Jerry Stahl.
The guy who wrote Permanent Midnight.
He also wrote an episode of CSI that I appeared in. (Tiny party but, holy shit, Jerry Freaking Stahl!!)
And, pursuant to my curiosity he wrote, under the pseudonym “Herbert W. Day”, the cult prog film, “Cafe Flesh”.
Cafe Flesh. A film whose score was written by:
Mitchell Froom.
I want to know how they ended up working together on a porn film and then writing for Carlos Santana.
That’s what I want to know.
(They also collaborated on NightDreams, which was also a porn/cult film from the same director that was released the year before.
THAT is the story that needs to be told.
This is a Santana record. Which mean, as usual, boring songs with great guitar work. But also…synths.
Too
Many
Synths
