Awesome post, Mike - enjoyed the biographical aspect to your responses too

I agree about KOB's ability to play back to back and not loose impact, absolutely.
And I think you're right about Miles Smiles having an almost sparse feel at times, but with that high level of inventiveness or at the very least, variety within, makes it one of my favs for sure.

Still haven't got Big Fun, which is lazy of me, will have to get it soon, your write up has convinced me to put it higher up on the list of 'albums to buy'



Thanks. I thought that was what we had to do in this thread; I just got really into it. I could review some of Miles' albums with what I wrote LOL

It's true. KoB can just be left on, and it'll still be magical.

Get BIG FUN right now. It's a great album. And Dark Magus too. That's over 3 hours of music right there, and some of the best Miles fusion!

Absolutely what I was after Smile   Yes! You have the start of more than a few reviews there, huh? I should try the same thing with albums I haven't already reviewed to kick start things.
 
Both on my list now - DM is pretty interesting from what I've heard too, elsewhere John and I posted a little on the possible Funkadelic link
We are men of action. Lies do not become us.
