Davis' "On the Corner"

Phasecorrect-this is one of the many that splits even the Miles Davis fans......I like it.
What I did find interesting is that an exploration of modern electronica showed that a lot of the sounds that are produced on this record have been used as a template-so to my ears it still sounds contemporary but in an experimental avant garde way.................

As a matter of fact this was my first Miles Davis album.
I love it, especially Black Satin !

Hey Phase,
Corner,"overshadowed by Bitches Brew for good reason"?
Bitches Brew may have been a bigger leap from convention in 69, but On The Corner represents of alot of focused effort that took place during the 3 to 4 years that seperate the two recordings. The meticulous hallucinatory James Brownisms didn't exist on Bitches Brew. Corner opened up alot of possibilities and it'll give ya' a damn good buzz long after other records poop out. I think some chimp at Down Beat gave it 2 1/2 stars.

PS Agharta is groovier'n hell too

Why stop on Bitches Brew there are plenty more and they're so great:
Decoy, Aura, Siesta, Amandla, Tutu, DoBop.

"On the Corner"to me is a killer percussive rave up worthy of a listen but not for the faint of heart. I went to see Miles when he was touring with this band but he had an automobile accident a couple of days prior and sadly was indisposed.Pretty wild ,the whole band was there and set up but he didn't show and of course there was no show. Bummer!!
