@Casura @jazz Bill Laswell's mash up of #ElectricMiles is one of most extraordinary responses to Miles's music...

@ChrisMayLA6 Yes! "Panthalassa" was my first encounter with Laswell, in my late teens then - fitted in perfectly well with Roni Size, 4 Hero, Tricky, Portishead, Morcheeba and some of the other stuff I was listening back then (next to Coltrane and Miles and all the modern jazz classics which I was discovering). Laswell in Duo and Trio with Wadada Leo Smith (and Milford Graves) recently was pretty great, too!

Back in the days when I had a car with a CD player, it was great for long motorway drives... you felt like you were in a swirling other universe!
