ReviewsIncluded in Q's "50 Heaviest Albums of All Time" - "...A maelstrom of uncut improvisational fury....this was arguably the furthest out Miles ever got...", Ranked #2 on Spin's List of "Top 10 Reissues.", "...The ears-open interactivity of Davis' ensembles--that ability to engage in serious musical conversation while flying in the upper atmosphere--is enough to shame any current bebop-babbling jazz automaton...", "...the sound of meltdown....Miles sounds like a mournful but pissed-off banshee, while the three guitarists--Reggie Lucas, Pete Cosey, and the effects-drenched Dominique Gaumont--take you somewhere between and beyond James Brown and Can...", 4 stars (out of 5) - "This is about as demonic as the Prince of Darkness can make it....the Henderson/Foster/Mtume rhythm section is in full flower...", "...With his inimitable trumpeting--by turns melancholy, pungent and lyrical--at the music's center, his electrified cohorts stretch the limits of jazz, rock, and funk....on DARK MAGUS, the band runs the voodoo down with particular ferocity." - Rating: A, "...tomorrow's sound yesterday....Davis conjured up a terrifyingly exhilarating aural asylum of wails, howls, clanks, chanks, telltale heartbeats, wah wah quacks, white noise and loud silences..."
