My Next Miles Davis Disc?

My favourite album is "Siesta" which is sort-of derivative of Sketches but with more colours. Tutu, Decoy and Do-Bop are funky electronic albums that are very interesting as well. The greatest masterpiece in his life I think is "Aura".

Someday My Prince Will Come and Something Else by Cannonball Adderley are your choices.

I agree with Bomarc--if this thread goes on long enough, you will be overwhelmed with recommendations. Miles contains multitudes. For example, you could spend the next ten years sampling the seemingly endless series of double-LPs from his fusion period. Dark Magus, Black Beauty, Live Evil, etc. If you like Jack Johnson and/or Bitches Brew, you'd probably enjoy any or all of these.

As far as ambient Miles, I would recommend the fairly recent remix of the Panthalassa album. I can't imagine you wouldn't enjoy it if you like 'In a Silent Way.'

Also, give the 'Live From the Plugged Nickel' a try. It's available as a box set, but you can get a one-CD "best of" to get a good taste of it.

For me, Sketches of Spain, Porgy and Bess, and other albums from that period took some getting used to and were more of an "acquired taste," whereas I loved Sorcerer and Nefertiti immediately.

Bottom line--given your stated preferences, I would recommend the Panthalassa remix first and branch out from there.

Happy listening.

If you are looking for an ambient take on Miles then I would recommend the Bill Laswell remix of Miles tunes called Panthalassa however as you would expect it veers into dub at times.
In A Silent Way was as close as Miles got to total ambient music however the double CD of Get Up With It has the epic He Loved Him Madly at 32 minutes plus which is in this vein.
Miles post IASW period got both rockier then funkier and things like On The Corner sound very like a lot of Electronica today-not strictly ambient but a more upbeat relation.
Ascenseur pour L'echafaud which Albert mentioned is indeed still available on CD and is a very great Miles record, a bit bluesier than KOB but similarly melodic.

Has everybody forgotten "'Round Midnight"?
