I too remember all the controversy surrounding this album. all the " straight up and down" jazz heads were down on it. They called it " commercial". What the fuck? Never heard this in a top 40 station...even though it's funky as a pot of neck bones. Miles was like Bruce Lee or vice versa. Fearlessly creative and not afraid to offend the establishment. Still sounds good today! Get it Miles! Do the damn thing!
This album was not well-received by jazz purists, but (in the title of his album "Kind of Blue) SO WHAT! What makes this album unique and masterful is that it didn't relied on traditional rhythms and melodies. Miles was ahead of his time when he recorded this album! I consider this to be one of his BEST! To listen to this album (as well as his other albums in the 1970's), one has to forget everything they know about music in the tradional sense. This is creativity as its best!
@zmaaaaaj This passage is from The Companions of Jehu--page 396--"You are ninnies! I have cheated all the time we've been playing, and you never found out. Those who lost can take their money back." Born and bred in the Catholic faith, Bonaparte had no preference for any dogma. When he re-established divine worship it was done as a political act, not as a religous one.

@zmaaaaaj MICHAEL TSARION IS THE WORLDS PREMIER CONSPIRACY REEARCHER/LECTURER/AUTHOR. LEO ZAGAMI, JORDAN MAXWELL AND ALEXANDRTE DUMAS PERE ARE HIGHLY INFORMATIVE AS WELL. P.S. MELTING EUPHORIA IS SIMILAR TO OZRIC TENTACLES AND GONG.
Thanks for uploading the whole first side! This is a fantastic album. I discovered it back in 2003 and I was astounded. To me, this sounds like a hip-hop album, a "street" album. Definitely ahead of its time, very funky, very aggressive. It's even better on the original vinyl LP.
:-) Discaço!!!

This album happened to me on a road trip today. I feel rather frazzled and paranoid as a result.

The best Miles Davis album ever. Eat your heart out, right winged trad-jazz-fans.
