2.0 out of 5 stars Not something I ever listen to., December 10, 2008

By	Michael Stack (North Chelmsford, MA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

"Aura" is one of those albums I want to like, but the more I listen to it, the more, quite frankly, I don't.

Conceived as a 9 part suite to frame Miles Davis' playing by Danish musician Palle Mikkelborg, the album moves from one ambient-ish electric/orchestral jazz movement ot the next, more as a piece of modern classical than as jazz (not that I have anything wrong with the former, mind you). The suite as a whole holds together reasonably well, but it feels overlong ("Orange"), cliched ("Electric Red") and quite frankly, like a bad reject from a Brian Eno record that someone overdubbed a couple drums and Miles Davis on top of ("Red"). This isn't to say it doesn't have its moments-- the first part of the aformentioned "Orange" features some of Miles Davis' finest playing in the latter part of his career, for example, it's just that there's not enough on here for me to actually listen to it.

This isn't to say it's unlistenable, mind you, but "Aura" is the album everyone talks about but that I don't know that anyone actually plays, certainly today is the first time I've listened to it since I picked up this most recent reissue (2001, if I recall). Some folks love this one, but I could easily recommend skipping it.
