Miles Davis

I own In a Silent Way,Live at The Plugged Nickel and Kind of Blue on vinyl and these are the digital remastered vinyl versions and well I cannot stand them. I have In a Silent Way analog Mosiac box set on Vinyl that is stellar as well as Mosiac's Bitches Brew. I have an Columbia original pressing of Kind of Blue and just listening to this compared to the digital counterpart is like night and day. My question is where is the bass on these digital re masters cause the analog recordings have em.I gave my digital copy of Bitches Brew to a freind because he heard Miles at my house so I just turned him on to it.He had never heard Miles electric stuff.

Compilations never sound good.

Yeah, I agree with these observations. I think the concept is very interesting and the selection is beyond reproach. But the sound is just not as good as on the original albums. Why the hell did they have to mess with digital on this?!

Is there a US Blu-Ray of Miles 'Blue".

Compilations were never given an attention to quality. Combining and optimizing recording level and frequency patterns to create compilation is much easier with digital technologies that was probably done with pushing one button vs. brushing and matching via analogue equipment. Even if compilation is done with analogue mastering, it'll still suck unless MOST of albums are recorded in one studio. Compilations of band CAN is a good example where almos all of their albums had been recorded at their own studio. Compilations exist for introductions to listener and not oriented for sound quality.
