If proof was ever required that Miles Davis was a punk at heart, it’s right here with On The Corner. Miles all but overturns the tables of jazz here, on this 1972 album that was ultimately rejected in its day, but has achieved ultimate cult status over the years. Said to have played a pivotal role in informing the futures of post punk, hip hop, and electronic music, this completely remastered wild jazz classic is being reissued today, and absolutely deserves your attention. - Flying Out
Scorned by critics at the time of its release, Miles Davis' 1972 album On The Corner is now seen as a forerunner of Post Punk, Hip Hop, Drum and Bass and Electronic music, thanks to its revolutionary recording techniques.
Miles wanted to reconnect with a younger audience, who had forsaken him for Rock and Funk, and the experimental On The Corner was his answer. Leaning more heavily on a drum and bass groundwork, the overdubs consisted of free improvisations held in the studio.
On The Corner isn't one of Miles easiest records to listen to, but it can yield the most fruits. Now released with completely remastered audio.
