Edited 4 years agoanyone has the white colored vinyl now available in stores? EAN 0194397971316... can't find the related release
-
How do the 1971 or 1977 reissue compare with the 1969 original?
The price sticker has been creeping significantly in the past year or so for the original -
Please add Miles Davis = Miles Davis - In A Silent Way = イン・ア・サイレント・ウェイ both issued in 1972 in Japan only.

My B-side Matrix / Runout is XSM-150309-1H
According to the notes "B-side mothers between A and J apparently got scrapped, hence the gap." yet mine has the H. Any ideas...? -
In a Silent Way is a very interesting album and it was just when Miles Davis was starting to move froward into the jazz-fusion era and it shows because it's not all fusion, just light hints of hit here and there. There's a lot of modal and bop going on throughout the album.
The first side, which consists of two tracks, starts of pretty much as the title suggests. It's very peaceful, slow moving and soft. I could wrap my ears around this for 40 minutes easy but it soon picks up after about 5 minutes and in come in the organ and drums that pick up the pace a bit more. There's also a softly played guitar and throughout this track there's organ motifs that have been sampled a million times I'm sure simply because they're so damn good. And just when you think your getting bored the pace picks up again and then settles you down. This is one track you have to have patience for but it's damn groovy.
The second side, which again consists of two tracks as one, starts off at a faster pace and is already groov'n with organ sighs, jamming drums and guitar. The track sounds very much like a continuation of the first two and it's great to listen to on CD because it seems like one long 40 minute track that doesn't even seem like 20 minutes. I prefer it on vinyl, like most jazz, but this is a case where having it on CD can come in handy too. All in all this album is a land mark in the Miles Davis discography and I would have giving it a 5/5 if there had been more variation but this vinyl still gets spinned a lot by me!
