Miles Davis - Rated X

[25gianfranco1953]

Great music!!!

[heru1966]

Those drums.....jeez, what a rhythm!!!!!

[jazzgot101]

i wish the wire of my headphones was longer...

[hds72]

miles is a god, portugal love miles...

[psylense0]

I like this 1 better, much closer to the groove

[heru1966]

@psylense0 You said what I wanted to say :-) Bill Laswell brought the drums and bass out in this, with no disrespect to Teo because I also love the original.

[FloydManFloyd]

how did he make it sound so unchaotic and sterile? that's quite a feat! what a bollocks...

[Greek88Skin]

The man was so ahead of everyone such long time ago which it makes Him what else,....a God of music,thanks God!!!

[mr01FABIO]

MILES AHEAD....................

[normotividdy]

@OhNoItsGojira - see the video image, it's from Bill Laswell's remix album of electric-era Miles, kinda re-doing what Ted Macero did when he assembled these albums in the studio in the first place. Agreed, though, this version isn't as good.

[OhNoItsGojira]

Strange mix. Not the "Rated X" from "Get Up With It." I like that versions inclusion of the organ more.

[dayjob]

@OhNoItsGojira teo macero did those original versions and apparently the bill laswell versions are more true to what actually happened in the studio. macero would basically take the tapes of various recordings and blend together different versions until Miles was satisfied.

[haupper]

That's Miles you hear sitting on the keyboard.

[landochronic]

Miles Davis is true music at its finest. Thumbs up if you agree

[tropicalpimp]

only ONE fuckin song from this album was downloaded? what the fuck..how fuckin frustrating.. what a dick move. Fuck whoever did that.

[diablofn]

@tropicalpimp what? i think you mean to say- only ONE section of a song from the album was uploaded to youtube?

[Nostalgico80]

A drum 'n bass antelitteram

[SkaaDeeWorks]

this is such a heavy remix.

truly inspiring

[anandanaga999]

Written by Billy Preston, who like myself, rose to obscurity.

[Bambooandlotus]

Sensationally good...... thankyou, thankyou...

[dayjob]

genius

[duocentillion]

How did they manage to make this back in the 70s?!?!?!?!? I wonder if there's stuff being made right now that would amaze people in 2040.

[TheRegart]

wow listening to it I get my own imagery that your in this exotic metallic strip joint, the the women entertaining on stage appear to be made of silver as they stand in front of a glowing red wall thats shrouded by fence like walls. As they move along you do to. Real Groovy

[Darknizzle]

@TheRegart wow man.... are they hot? maybe they are hot sex robots? and they are dancing, and serving drinks. yes!!

[Frisbieinstein]

I that Laswell playing bass? He sux!!! Gimme Henderson.

Beside from that it's pretty good.

[mootbooxle]

@Frisbieinstein It's not Laswell. He himself said that he didn't add a note to any of this music - he just added some FX to what's on the master.  It's Henderson on bass. I still prefer the version that's on "Get Up With It" tho..that's personal preference. What Laswell did with this piece is fantastic. He made more "sense" of it. The chaos is what I like about the original though!!

[riccadelbia1983]

D I V I N O

[paulettauk]

A work of art!!

[thenewfun]

it's great but not miles, Bill Laswell remix of Miles' stuff

[dayjob]

@thenewfun all he did was put together the original out takes from the original studio recordings the same way teo macero did. not really a "remix"

[willbilly2fistmcgee]

The one and only !

[CostCordero]

get the album this was on, "get up with it", it's a treasure

[tonkehar]

This song is like something from out of the future!

[Zzozze]

Just imagine what it felt like to the people that heard it in 1973 !

[johnhoney92833]

@tonkehar...yep, art projects in advance something that does not yet exist

[MastaEss]

@tonkehar

Miles is from the future!

[tonkehar]

@MastaEss Yes, but how far in the future and will we ever catch up with him. I think not! The Man (and I mean the MAN) was a musical genius!

[KINGROOSTER45]

wow- simply wow- miles really did go to some strangely beautiful places with his music

[SileDevil]

cant describe the feeling i get when i hear this ....i cant stop moving

[heru1966]

I love this remix, I think the drums are brought out more. Al Foster is the star of this for me, the rhythm he plays in the midst of the organ, guitars, tablas just gives it so much EDGE. But much credit to Michael Henderson for the bass. It's still a new music! :-)

[paxandrews]

@heru1966 awesome and Miles is on organ too....Get Up With It......f....Yeh!

[msteras]

It is true miles was not human. he was from the planet groove somewhere far past the moon.

[dpbUK]

Quality Miles....absolute groove

[tropicalpimp]

can someone PLEASE for the love of life post the rest of the songs on this album. wtf...

[immortalass]

you can dl them from amazon for pretty cheap

[tropicalpimp]

I refuse to pay for music I can get for free. thanx tho

[immortalass]

i dont really care but right now youre "paying" in time and hassle, and you dont even know if its gonna work out in the end. you can have the song instantly in good quality for an amout of chump change you would hardly even bother picking up if you found it lying in the street.

[tropicalpimp]

when it comes to getting music online for free, 'time and hassle' is of no consequence.

a sucker is born everyday. nowadays, only suckers pay for music.

[immortalass]

i dunno i feel like i got good value for my couple cents.

[andwhatfire]

it's almost electronica

i'm waiting to hear a trumpet

[wdchr]

damn you couldnt be more right

[sex6cult9revolution]

Great mix, but it hardly sounds that different from the original. Miles actually used a fair amount of electronics in this period.

Also, Miles played organ on this track - never trumpet. Supposedly, he looked pretty demonic when they played it, too. He would look over from the organ at the other musicians with this sinister look, but he was only trying to cue they when to stop/start and shit like that.

[jazz1bro]

Man, this is great stuff. This is anti status quo music. I dig this..They hate it!

[pacoenigmatic]

this hits the spot.......

thanks for the post

[dingodoodles]
