Miles Davis- On The Corner (Original Master Recording)

Exotic, Streetwise, Futuristic: On the Corner Embraces Miles Davis' 'Jungle Sound' with Percussive Foundations, Trance Loops, and Transformational Arrangements. Sourced From the Original Master Tapes and Pressed at RTI on MoFi SuperVinyl: Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM SuperVinyl LP Reveals Multiple Levels of Rhythm, Visceral Bass, and Pioneering Production Techniques Numbered-Edition Reissue of 1972 Landmark Features Ultra-Low Noise Floor, Dead-Quiet Surfaces, and Superb Groove Definition Miles Davis' boundlessly influential On the Corner was so far ahead of it's time upon release in 1972, the jazz cognoscenti rejected it's groundbreaking concoction as middling in nature. Yet time has a way of righting wrongs and shifting views by adding needed context and perspective to visionary ideas, music, and approaches - the likes of which fill Davis' boldest and most controversial - undertaking. Designed to bring the focus back on the groove and bottom-end frequencies, the funk-loaded On the Corner revolutionized jazz. It also set new standards for record production, presaging remixing and electronica by more than a decade. And the work has never sounded more thrilling thanks to this very special pressing. Sourced from the original master tapes and pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 33RPM SuperVinyl LP of On the Corner exposes the internal mechanisms, free-associated playing, and then-unmatched studio techniques in vivid fashion. The low end, crucial to every composition here, is both heard and felt, with locked-in bass lines and low-range percussion conveyed as taut, solid, and visceral passages. You can discern the multiple layers of rhythm Davis employed on complex tracks such as 'Black Satin,' as On the Corner stands as his first effort to use overdubbing and multiple tape machines. As a pioneer, Davis likely would've loved MoFi's groundbreaking SuperVinyl profile that features the lowest-possible analog noise floor as well as pristine transparency, dead-quiet surfaces, and superb groove definition. New degrees of spaciousness and airiness - equally important to the musique concrete arrangements - give the impression Davis and Co.'s creations float in space. Instruments are portrayed in three-dimensional manners, rhythmic loops retain tonal purity, and horn solos skitter across an extra-wide soundstage that takes listeners into Columbia's Studio E. Mobile Fidelity's SuperVinyl LP captures Teo Macero's innovative production - and the trumpeter's cutting-edge aural collages - in definitive fashion.
