I need to give this a few more spins before it sticks, but I definetly have some ideas already formed. First off, I have to say it's by far the rockiest Miles Davis album I've ever heard. It starts with John McLaughlin playing rock
chords for Darwin's sake. McLaughlin doesn't sound like himself at all, it's like he's gone back to basic and just pulls out these nasty chords over the whole thing. We got some simple, traditional rock beat with Miles and John improving over it. There's more to it of course, but from what I've heard so far, that seems the jist of it. It's like an ugly rock/jazz improv that somehow still manages to sound good.
I don't know how this was planned or how or even why they made this at all. What a strange album! I like it though
