CLASSIC Miles. What was being played by him 40 years ago that made him stand out is in demand BIG-TIME today. Kruder & Dorfmeister and Thievery Corporation come to mind when hearing this. I wouldn't doubt it for one minute if any of Miles' stuff from the 70s is a reference. I'll go so far to say that you'd hear this in the clubs today.
I didn't really pay attention to Miles Davis's stuff once he started moving to more electric stuff and now I am kicking myself. How did I miss this album?
If you want to go on a vacation but you don't have much money, the best thing to do is buy this album/cd get in a dark room and light some candles... you can go just about anywhere you want.
When I first got this album in '05, I played this one cold October night in my pad which was dimly lit, unaware of what was to come. I had no idea how MD's music could be so brooding, so dark, so sad - and so ahead of his time. I know he was flirting with acid rock and funk, but this is as unique as it gets. There really aren't any words to convey how profound this is. Amazing.
Interestingly enough I played this at the office recently and several people from down the hall came into my office and commented on it. This woman called it "ZEN like" and asked me to turn it up.
I play quite a bit of music and that's the first time that ever happened!!! Interesting when you consider that album was not popular when it came out and faded into obscurity since.
This music was really important to me when I first heard it...waiting for Miles to play that first note..and then it's such a killer...abaout a month later or so, Miles showed up at Keystone Korner and played an evolved version of music from Get Up With It...and it still stands as the most profound club music I ever heard...although Bennie Maupin's 2008 show in Healdsburg playing Eric Dolphy's compositions with James Newton, Billy Hart, Jay Hoggard, and Derek Oleszkiewcz was also profound.
Now that you can download more than 10 minutes at a time, here's to hoping someone downloads to complete version not split up.

Is there any chance you have the remix by Bill Laswell that you could possibly upload?

this is a perfect song to listen to in morning over mj's death. the song was made for ellington after his death so it has sort of a funeral vibe..

I read that Brian Eno studied this piece very closely.

Yeah, I remember it was in Eno's all time top 10 on BBC's desert island discs about 1991. I spent an age trying to track it down afterwards.

"he loved 'her' madly" or "he loved 'him' madly"??

This is amazing!!! I think one of the best from Miles Electric phase and also one of the most overlooked....

It's unbelievable that this was recorded in 1974. Hypnotic, baby.
