Miles Davis - Bitches Brew


I keep mentioning it, but my connection here in Croatia is pretty shitty. The issue is that for reasons unknown to me, my wireless router likes to reset itself. That means I can't reliably upload much of anything. As such, expect to see lots of links to stuff I find or am downloading at the moment anyway. This here is the latter - something I know and love, but only now am getting around to actually having in my possession.
Honestly, Bitches Brew should speak for itself. It's one of the all-time great jazz recordings out there - dense, funky, creepy and generally mind-blowing. I think of this as something everyone needs to hear, and probably own, regardless of their tastes. Really, my words can't do it justice, just download it and listen to it already.

Disc 1
Disc 2

1. Pharaoh's Dance
2. Bitches Brew
3. Spanish Key
4. John McLaughlin
5. Miles Runs The Voodoo Down
6. Sanctuary
7. Feio (bonus)

Note that Nomeansno's "cover" of the title track is pretty great, too.
