Pig Destroyer vs Miles Davis

With anticipation high for the new Pig Destroyer coming
out soon, what better time than now to re-present this
classic soundclash between two unique and diverse artists.

This was first posted on the sadly missed Throat Burned Out
- the blog run by noise terrorists ZoZo))) and Claypool who
invited me to contribute now and then.

Below is my original text + the track in all its glory - listen or
download in the comfort of your own hovel.


Looking through the Pig Destroyer releases, I was interested by "Natasha" - a 35 minute track of slow doom, laden with atmospherics, sounding more like Godflesh or early Melvins rather than the grind they are known for. Hearing voices and music in my head constantly might make my mental breakdowns a strain on my life but this time it has worked to my advantage - I could hear that the Miles Davis track "Gondwana" was at the right speed to overdub in places on top of the Pig Destroyer track.


I give you one epic track of grindjazz.

Experimental? ....... Maybe.
Easy listening? ....... I hope not.

Miles Davis - Dark Magus 1974


















Carrying on from On The Corner, this
double live album has Miles snaking
around a Black Sabbath boogie through
a wah-wah pedal, up to his eyeballs in
columbian marching powder producing
a loud, heavy unsettling beast of a record.

Disc 1 sets the funk/space rock scene, Disc 2
lets the guitarists do their stuff.

Easy listening it ain't!

Miles Davis - On The Corner 1972


















Atonal jazz freak out - Davis wanted to explore
the sounds of Hendrix and Sly Stone with
his own version of funk rock.

Too hard to describe - listen to the clip!!!!
