Pangaea

The second of two double albums recorded on the same day in Osaka, Japan (along with 'Agharta'). 'Pangaea' captures the final, ferocious incarnation of Miles's electric band at its most dense and uncompromising. The music is a maelstrom of sound, driven by deep funk rhythms and the revolutionary, distorted guitar work of Pete Cosey, serving as a final, powerful statement before Miles's six-year retirement.
