    I'm kind of in a Miles phase right now, especially his "electric" period work have had had this one on repeat.

    posted this in the weekend finds thread last night but....

    i found a perfect copy of this at a thrift yesterday for $.50 and put it on right when i got home. really love this album. it had been awhile since I'd listened to any Miles (or any jazz for that matter). today I'm going to be revisiting Live Evil and On the Corner(favorite).

    The bass clarinet shit at the start of "Pharaoh's Dance" is some of the moodiest, spookiest music these ears have ever heard and it no doubt sets the stage perfectly for what's to come next. That first tune is still my favorite part of the record.

    What about any other electric Miles?

    Nice, I gotta re-visit BB. its been a while. This one deserves to be heard on cd imo. The re-mixed/mastered/whatevered version that came out in like '02. The mix is a big improvement on the original. I wish they could do the same thing to On the Corner.

    Teo Macero's edits are a big part of what makes this record. The beginning of Bitches Brew is a loop if you listen closely. Joe Zawinul said that when he first heard the final mix, he didn't even recognize himself playing on it.

    IMO it is overrated. I love Miles' electric records but I'd much rather listen to Jack Johnson or Agharta.

    The deluxe ON The Corner Box wasnt re-mastered?

    In a Silent Way is cool

    All Miles had to do was say he hated white people to then have white people overrate anything he ever did.

    Personally I think In a Silent Way is a better experience than BB. The whole jazz/rock/funk thing did not blossom into something huge until later efforts.
    That said, I ride for "Get Up On It". He Loves Him Madly is a beautiful piece of music.

    Never heard an electric Miles I didn't like. (We're talking 1970-76, right?)

    If I had to go with one, it'd be Jack Johnson, but I wouldn't advise against the rest. The ones I've heard, anyway.

    I remember when I first discoverd "The Brew". In '91 I found a banged up copy at a flea market at a high school near my house, along with my first copy of Trouble Man. It totally blew me away!! And when I heard the bass line, yall know I'm talking about, I felt like KING DIGGER. Well, needless to say, I was at my buddies house a few weeks later and his dad told me I could go through his records and take whatever I wanted. After passing the usuall Slave, Gap Band & Evelyn King records there it was, a mint copy of Bitches Brew. Well, about ten copies and 20 yrs later it's still in my regular rotation. CLASSIC!!

    BTW, Sheep, that pic is the TRUTH. Your girl is an unbelievable artist. If yall ever do any prints of this, hint hint, please let me know!!

    that album was a revelation to me and my friends but over the years i have grown to sort of not love it that much. i find the edits distracting and that there is a certain choppiness to the performances that i don't think was intentional.

    best artwork ever though.

    i find "in a silent way" and "jack johnson" the most enjoyable of his electric albums (even though these were also edited together)
