The Apex of Miles Davis' Electric Period: Agharta Blows Minds with Funk-Rock Jazz Thrills, Improvisational Surprises, Band Chemistry, and Rule-Breaking FreedomSourced from the Original Master Tapes: Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM 2LP Set Presents 1975 Live Album in Audiophile Sound, Plays with a Scope That Matches the MusicThe capstone of Miles Davis' electric period, Agharta reigns as a funk-rock fireball - a blazing comet streaked energy and elan, a fearless organism feasting on adventure and freedom, a sevenheaded Godzilla stomping it's way through Osaka, Japan. Recorded on February 1, 1975 at Osaka Festival Hall at the first of a two-show stand, the double album offers an endless abundance of surprises and shifts - as well as a road-proven ensemble whose chemistry and abilities equal that of any of Davis' celebrated bands. If the true measure of jazz is the capacity to adapt to the moment and challenge perception, Agharta is consummate.Sourced from the original master tapes, housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 33RPM 2LP set of this epic live release presents it in audiophile sound on a domestic pressing for the first time. Offering greater degrees of separation, detail, and richness than the compressed CD editions and more clarity, openness, and presence than older vinyl versions, this reissue of the 1975 release helps bring the concert stage to your home. Just make sure your turntable and speakers are up to the challenge of Davis and Co.'s explosive performances - and producing the decibels they demand.1/4' / 15 IPS ANALOG MASTER DSD 256 ANALOG CONSOLE LATHENumbered 180g 33RPM Vinyl 2LPNUMBERED SPECIAL EDITIONTrack ListSide One:Prelude (Part I)Side Two:Prelude (Part II)MaiyshaSide Three:InterludeSide Four:Theme from Jack Johnson

Limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on translucent blue coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Agharta was recorded on the afternoon in 1975, at one of two concerts Miles Davis performed at the Osaka Festival Hall in Japan. He performed with his septet-flautist and saxophonist Sonny Fortune, bassist Michael Henderson, drummer Al Foster, percussionist James Mtume, guitarist Reggie Lucas, and Pete Cosey, who played guitar, synthesizer, and percussion. Produced and recorded by Teo Macero, the album's four seemingly unstructured segments emphasize the playing of Davis' sidemen rather than his own trumpet. It eschews both melody and harmony in favor of a combination of riffs, crossing polyrhythms, and Funk-oriented grooves for soloists to improvise throughout. The album has received retrospective acclaim as an important and influential Jazz-Rock record. It's abrasive music and Cosey's innovative playing influenced a generation of young musicians, including those in the British Jazz scene.
