Often described today as ethno-jazz or spiritual jazz, the album sounds strikingly contemporary, avoiding familiar jazz structures in favor of gradual tension, modal movement, and deep immersion.
For this first official reissue, great care was taken during the restoration and mastering process. The original master tape contained technical imperfections typical of the era, and extensive, meticulous work was done to remove unwanted artifacts while preserving the natural character, dynamics, and atmosphere of the recording. The goal was simple: to let nothing stand between the listener and the music itself.
Originally pressed in limited quantities and never previously reissued, Oriental Suite returns quietly - not as a historical curiosity, but as a living and genuinely rare artistic statement.

'It sounded like the future': behind Miles Davis's greatest album
On the 50th anniversary of Bitches Brew, one of the contributing musicians and the director of a new documentary share their thoughts on the record
"I took him to this art movie theater downtown to see the film Monterey Pop where Jimi Hendrix ended by squirting lighter fluid on his guitar, setting it on fire. Miles was next to me saying: ‘Fuuck!’ He was enchanted.”

New York Times headline: Libertarians: We Told You So

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart
1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks
2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections
