The audience at Carnegie Hall on 30 March 1974 had little idea what to expect from this concert: 'Dark Magus', recorded towards the end of Davis' electric period, remains the darkest and most violent statement of his career - a visionary work that anticipated the development of jungle, noise rock, funk and drum 'n' bass.
Primal and enigmatic, wild and jagged, powerful and revolutionary, startling and terrifying, Dark Magus seems to attack from all directions. Turn it up loud and let yourself be swept away by the prophetic brilliance of this inimitable and relentlessly funky album.
Originally released in Japan in 1977, the album waited two decades for a US release. Now, more than 50 years after Davis and his ensemble created a sensation at the famed New York venue, the album is being released on vinyl for the first time - and in a pressing that's worth listening to.
