Did anyone else dig his last studio album recording: "Doo-Bop" from 1992. I liked the direction he was going. Here are a couple of my faves from that joint (as far as I can remember)....

Fantasy is the 2nd song featured in this medley, starting @ 3:55 mark.

The only Miles Davis album I never liked.
But I bought it anyway simply because it was Miles.

Fantasy is kinda cool.
The go-to track for me was Blow.

I knew I was forgetting something. Blow was tight.

I quite like the Doo Bop album and Mystery has a unique quality to it imo, and I love Miles' 'little boy lost' tone on that track.

In some ways, I prefer the Doo Bop stuff to a lot of the stuff on his Marcus Miller produced albums, as it sounds more funky and 'real' and without that polished and sterile synclavier sound they had.

And I speak as no great lover of hip hop, apart from the odd track here and there.

Probably Miles' best latter day studio album imo has to be Aura, but even that has some of those nasty plastic 80's sounds on it. Even so, it's the only one imo that can really stand alongside his earlier work. I think Miles was often content to be a 'passenger' or featured soloist on his post 1982-ish albums, doing the real musical stretchin out in the concert hall, esp when he really got his classic tone back around 1983. The albums were just the head arrangements for the main event .
