Dark Magus: Live At Carnegie Hall 1974 (Vinyl)
Dark Magus Anticipates Developments in Jungle, Noise, and Drum 'n' Bass Music: Funky, Ferocious, Free-Form Miles Davis Double Album Is an Exhilarating Jazz-Rock Trip On Domestic Vinyl for the First Time: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition 180g 33RPM 2LP Set Presents 1974 Performances with Absorbing Detail, Color, and Energy It's safe to assume no one in the audience at Carnegie Hall on March 30, 1974 anticipated what Miles Davis would play at the concert documented on Dark Magus. A rhythmic bonanza rooted in Afro-centrist techniques, avante-garde sensibilities, and exploratory moods, it's songs eschew set arrangements, solos, and, for that matter, melodic devices. Recorded near the tail end of his electric period, the double album remains the darkest, most ferocious statement of Davis' career - a visionary effort that foresaw developments in jungle, noise-rock, funk, and drum 'n' bass. Initially issued in Japan in 1977, Dark Magus waited two decades for U.S. release. Now, more than 50 years after Davis and his ensemble blew minds at the New York venue, it gets it's first-ever domestic issue on vinyl - on a definitive-sounding pressing. Mastered at Mobile Fidelity's private studio, housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 33RPM 2LP set of Dark Magus invites you to pull up a seat and wrap your head around an exhilarating performance that simultaneously functions as an audition, experiment, release, and magnificent explosion of jazz-rock fusion. It presents the improvisational magic that unfolded onstage - the skronking tonalities, wah-wah-pedal bluster, acid-washed effects, furious drumming, run-the-voodoo-down grooves, menacing riffs, crashing cymbals - with incredible detail, color, and pace. It also captures the band's unbelievable energy, rendering both instruments and on-the-fly changes with revealing depth, definition, and dynamics. At it's core, this audiophile set takes you deep into the boundless mystery, promise, and uncertainty of Davis and company's efforts like never before. We hope your turntable and speakers are up to the challenge. 1/4' / 15 IPS analog copy to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe Numbered 180g 33RPM Vinyl 2LP NUMBERED SPECIAL EDITION Track List Side A Moja (Part I) Moja (Part II) Side B Wili (Part I) Wili (Part II) Side C Tatu (Part I) Tatu (Part II) Side D Nne (Part I) Nne (Part II)
