Miles Davis: The Jack Johnson Sessions - original release 1970 box set release 2003 ***** The very first time I heard this album...oh, when I bought it on lp, maybe 20 years ago...I've always considered it a classic.
Listening to the box set.....no reason to change my mind...in fact it makes me realize how fucking intense this album is...heavy...rocks hard...funky...
what's not to love???????????????
Well, maybe not Miles himself...but that's another story!
I first saw this at the Oakville Public Library (carrying the box set...awesome! of course I got it out and listened to it) but just recently got a copy (Randy!!!) and it blows me away every time. All the musicians are flying man...soaring...
takes me to another place
another atmosphere
another breath
soaring...to the
breath of jazz
filtered through rock
and funk
and classical
and put it all together
and you have Miles Electric.
Another Note: I have "Miles Electric" now on dvd, but haven't had a chance yet to peruse it. When I do you know I'll babble about it. Also got "The Miles Davis Story"...looking forward to that one too!!

Acid Mothers Temple: Mantra of Love (2004) ***** I got this from amazon not too long ago, and also "New Geocentric World" (2001), and acid mothers
are magnificent
masters of music manipulation
listen to the "circle" the "arc" of the music.
The music floats by and makes a 30 minute song seem only half that long. Love Cotton Casino's singing....
Absolutely beautiful beautiful music
experimental
yet traditional
I need to dive into more acid.....
