Miles Davis’s recordings during his extraordinarily creative period of 69 to 75 are very varied. This is a live double CD from a concert in Japan in 75 and a second live double CD Pangaea recorded on the same day was also released; afternoon and evening sets respectively.
The dual electric guitars, funk bass and African percussion must have been a hell of a shock for anyone attending those concerts who hadn’t kept up with the changes in Miles’s music.
I love the way this music breathes as it moves between very intense and/or up-tempo phases to slower and more reflective episodes. The music for both concerts together is split over only 5 tracks over 3+ hours over 4CDs and it feels very organic to me.
The guitarist Reggie Lucas takes most of the solos and he brings a strong Hendrix influence but is clearly his own man. I’ve never heard anyone play in this way before or since. If you are a lover of out there on the edge fusion guitar then this is a must. The dual guitars on these two albums are worth the price of entry alone.
Miles is using a wah-wah and it fits the overall vibe perfectly.
I find them to be quite exquisitely beautiful mixes of melancholy, tenderness and savagery. Top 3 concerts on record of all time for me. Essential listening.
What are you listening to RIGHT NOW?

My "discovery" of Buckethead happened in a much more roundabout way; even though it was back in 1995 or thereabouts I still remember how it happened. I was reading a review of one of my favorite albums of the '90s, Gongzilla's Suffer. The reviewer compared the opening riff of the first track to Buckethead... "Bucketwho?" I thought. And immediately started looking for stuff by him.auxy wrote:but there's only so much self-indulgent wankery I can enjoy. Animals as Leaders is pushing it sometimes!

You might enjoy "Captain Eo's Voyage" then. It seems the closest in feel to "Colma"... at least of the Buckethead stuff I own. "Population Override", "Electric Tears", and "Electric Sea" are also in a more laid-back vein and steer clear of "self-indulgent wankery".
Octave of the Holy Innocents is also fan-damn-tastic. He's a terrific acoustic guitarist, though you wouldn't know it if you're mainly familiar with his electric shred-fests.

I'm sorry, but self-indulgent really does describe some of his music. I still *like* most of it, mind you... self-indulgent music isn't necessarily bad! C'mon, calling an album of extended improvs "Chicken Noodles"? He *knows* this stuff is self-indulgent. You are taking him more seriously than he takes himself!
