Highly-strung
Miles Davis - Amandla
The final album of the Miles Davis and Marcus Miller partnership, with the pair taking onboard go-go and African influences as well as re-introducing more live musicians. Those synthesizer demo-mode sounds are still prevalent, though.
Listening to this period of Davis’s work, I’ve really come to appreciate the work of Foley, the lead-bassist, who played a bass up-tuned by an octave to sound like a guitar. Mad lad.
The rear of the sleeve has a photo of Davis where he has been cut and pasted onto the background. So shoddy is the workmanship that his feet look like he has been subject to ancient Chinese foot-binding.
