Spectacular I've owned several versions of this on CD. I have many high resolution versions, including SACD. As the resolution gets higher, the sound gets better. However, every single digital version suffers from serious tape hiss.Not so this vinyl record. I won't listen to another CD version of this album again. First of all, there's no tape hiss. Secondly, the sound is so fluid and mesmerizing that time passed without knowledge 5/5 LPReview
Delicate, Immersing, Dynamic: Mobile Fidelity Reissue Magnifies the Bold Textures, Soothing Ambience, and Transcendent Moods! Float Into the Ether: Gorgeous 1969 Experimental Treasure Among the Most Atmospheric Jazz Albums Ever Recorded. Davis’ First Fusion Album Features John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland, and Tony Williams. Shhh.
The command to be quiet is no just part of the title of one of the two sprawling compositions on this pioneering album. It’s also an apt metaphor for the relaxed hypnotism and spaced-out atmosphere that define In a Silent Way, a record that pushes the boundaries of studio possibilities, artist-producer relationships, and rock-jazz chasms. Recognized as Miles Davis’ first full-on fusion effort and part of his “electric” era, the 1969 landmark claims a Who’s Who lineup that sends the music into an ethereal stratosphere. Part of Mobile Fidelity’s Miles Davis catalog restoration series,
