Hit: 5 Stars
It is understandable why this music was so unjustly trashed when it came out in 1973. For the most part, jazz critics and fans thought of funk as pimpy street trash, and people listening to the Ohio Players or Sly Stone probably didn't understand the more esoteric directions in jazz.
This music mixes both, and is amazing. The reduntant grooves come out of funk, but Miles mixed in timing concepts and musical reductions cooked up by Stockhausen, and by association, the great German band, Can. (Can was also ripping off Miles at this point, and if this sounds circular, in music, theivery among the Gods usually is.) The result was a powerful template for improvasation.
Hostle, provocative, expermental and sometimes impenitrable, this is defiantely music you have to sit with. It is funk as a canvas for sound, not dance music to party to. It makes you think of the pusher on the sidewalk, not the kids in the discos. But it is like a painting that seems to change colors the more you look. There are truckloads of nuances in this music.
This material also provided the basic structures for Hip Hop and Dance Music. It could pass for being brand new.
There is a lot to mine on this mammouth set. But the remastering breathes new life into the music, and there is a lot of subtance here. The basslines are a lot fatter than on vynal, and you can hear all those percussive snips and snaps Miles was going after. Hearing the music in one big capsule such as this also shows you how diverse and ambitous Miles' framework actually was; this gets overlooked, because these recordings were origonally released in such a fragmented way.
Absolutley worth taking the plunge.
