Miles in the Sky

Description

Miles in the Sky reflects the intriguing curiosities and rainbow possibilities suggested by the album cover. Miles Davis’ fifth and final album with his classic second quintet is kaleidoscopic in sound, forward-looking in structure, and contextually grounded in approach. As the legendary leader’s first venture into what would become fusion, it’s historical for containing the premier appearances of electric piano, bass, and guitar on a Davis effort.

Laden with rich textures and style-bridging elements, Mobile Fidelity’s 180g 45RPM 2LP brings the aural magic into focus. Afforded the benefits provided by the record’s wider grooves, Davis’ burnished trumpet resounds with utmost clarity, and the soundstage seems to extend for a mile. Reference-caliber separation and imaging give each musician their own space, allowing every passage to come across without limitations.
