I bought the CD after the show and have been getting more and more into it as the months pass. An extremely well done set. 9830@blogcritics.org Thu, 22 May 2003 09:13:43 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/05/20/105715.php#comment-9699 yep, i've got several things in my collection that go into the 'tough to describe' category....Henry Threadgill comes to mind. 9699@blogcritics.org Tue, 20 May 2003 11:34:18 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/05/20/105715.php#comment-9697 I got Freak In the day it came out, and I'm still having a hard time making any sensible comments about it. I've been working on a review of it for weeks now, but it fails to really convey the album in anyway other than, similar to your comments, "if you like Miles' 70s period, you'll like this." I can't simplify it like that because this album is so much more than that. "November" is the heart of this album, I find. I frequently wind up with that melody repeating in my head. Gorgeous, amazing piece of work. 9697@blogcritics.org Tue, 20 May 2003 11:26:47 EDT
