Album Notes
PANTHALASSA is a continuous, in-the-mix recording by Bill Laswell.
PANTHALASSA features Bill Laswell culling sounds from the original session tapes for such groundbreaking Miles Davis albums as IN A SILENT WAY, ON THE CORNER and GET UP WITH IT, and creating new works.
Personnel includes: Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Carlos Garnett, Dave Leibman, Joe Zawinul, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Cedric Lawson, John McLaughlin, Reggie Lucas, David Creamer, Pete Cosey, Dominique Gaumont, Colin Walcott, Dave Holland, Michael Henderson, Harold Williams, Khalil Balakrishna, Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette, Al Foster, Badal Roy, Don Alias, Mtume.
Includes liner notes by Amiri Baraka, David Henderson, David Toop and Umar Bin Hassan.
In the spirit of those critics and theorists who've made the claim that Miles Davis' electric phase fathered everything from deep avant-garde funk to electronic music forms to post-rock improvisation, Bill Laswell has reconstructed the trumpeter's various themes of the period into ambient-minded pieces for the modern listener. PANTHALASSA, named for the Earth-encompassing ocean of the Pangaea myth, mixes source tapes of ten Davis originals into four soundscapes that drift in and out of musical coherence, perfectly encapsulating the indescribable sounds Miles and his bands were coming up with. For those afraid to jump in the deep waters of Davis' behemoth-like live releases such as DARK MAGUS and AGHARTA, PANTHALASSA is an excellent primer.
Laswell cuts and pastes the trumpeter's electric swing, Ellingtonian grooves and mountainous raptures of sound, tastefully using atmospheric keyboards as transitions, never stepping on the toes of the original compositions. And while the value of editing these colossal works into easily digestible pieces is somewhat akin to Cliff Notes of James Joyce novels, PANTHALASSA is a gourmet sample of Davis' extraordinary platters. Now, go order from the whole menu!

Editorial Reviews
4 stars (out of 5) - ...whether you like or loathe the results...the hottest aspect of PANTHALASSA unquestionably come from Miles Davis and his cohorts. It is very hot music, fantastic music a treasure trove of avant-garde pop-jazz...
Down Beat (05/01/1998)

3.5 Stars (out of 5) - ...Laswell reassembles guitar, organ, trumpet and drum parts, remixes levels, adds dabs of echo and wah-wah, overhauls Michael Henderson's bass sound....[puts] a tranquil Zen face on some of the most truculent music ever made.
Rolling Stone (05/14/1998)

9 (out of 10) - ...The ubiquitous Laswell may be living proof that good taste doesn't guarantee good music, but his canny excursions into Miles's electric catalog yield rich and savory batches of bitches' brew, even if he hardly strays from the original recipe...
Spin (06/01/1998)

Laswell's role here is simply to show some of the alternate possibilities....For electric Miles enthusiasts, PANTHALASSA offers an intriguing new angle on old favorites; for newcomers, it's a perfect capsule summary of all that made (and still makes) this era great...
Musician (05/01/1998)

...Whether rhythmically bustling or meditative, these tracks seethe with Davis' still-startling visions.
Entertainment Weekly (05/08/1998)
