I love this album by Miles. "He Loved Him Madly" is just so wonderful. Understated, yet locks into such a groove. I got to see Miles once in concert. He played music like this on a revolving stage. One of the best if not the best show I've ever seen. Try to find this one.

An intriguing compilation of Miles' "electric period", originally released in 1974. It covers the various Miles ensembles from '72 to the release year and, as is the case with all of his music of the time, is definitely not for the faint of heart. Miles was releasing some of his most intense music ever during this time, partly the result of a Sly & the Family Stone obession and partly due to an intense cocaine addiction. This album features a couple of tracks from the controversial "On the Corner" album (Honky Tonk & Rated X) and has some moments that could be described as less-than-stellar, but the dirge for Ellington "He Loved Him Madly" is worth the price of admission alone. Hopefully Legacy will re-issue this domestically in the near future.
