I'm not a huge fan of jazz, but I gotta admit this album kinda draws me in. I remember the first time I listened to it I could hardly make any sense out of it and it just seemed a mess, but slowly it's starting to fall into place to my ears, and I just love the whole "rock" sound of it. I gotta admit, this is probably the most difficult piece of music I've ever listened to, but it's slowly revealing itself to me. I own some other Miles Davis albums, Kind of Blue included, but I find them a bit dull personally. This album on the other hand just has such cool rhythm sound, and a dark sinister type feel which I love.
Anyway, any other fans of Miles Davis and Bitches Brew here?

I've got the complete bitches brew sessions on CD and listen to them regularly. They are fucking awesome. I love Davis's work in general though.

if you like that check out 'In a Silent Way' and 'A Tribute to Jack Johnson', the complete sessions of the latter features some great blues jams.

ive also got the complete sessions. theyre absolutely spectacular, my favorite jazz record by far.
interesting fact: none of the tracks were played as a whole band. instead, each musician played and was recorded seperately and davis meticulously arranged all the parts together with tape.

miles davis is the only jazz i have. its more difficult to listen to than your average autechre / venetian snares release, imo. idefinately have to be in the right mood.

i never heard that the whole album was purely overdubs.. however, lots of effects and editing took place. it wasnt miles who did the editing but teo macero.

> really? it's subjective but... which album(s) do you have?
i have Kind Of Blue, Bitches Brew and Agharta. all three are really different, but Agharta is the only one i'd qualify as difficult; it's like an encompassing, evolving, funky magma of sound. really good but demanding.

i was at a friends house a few weeks ago and a track from big fun came one and i kept bouncing back and forth going, "this must be off of bitches brew.... but i don't really recognize it... but it has to be!"
at least i got the artist right and didnt seem like a complete tool. ill have to check it out properly soon.

well, they play fusion of rock and jazz as well, so yeah, it can get pretty similar i reckon.
