Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud Lift To The Scaffold Original Soundtrack

Perfect

Very satisfied...!!!

This album is special to me on several levels.It hits me with all the notes that make me reflective, as if I’m walking alone at dusk in some lonely, misty and melancholy place and wouldn’t have it any other way. This is more of a soundtrack for personal solitude.The pressing here is magnificent. I’m no fan of color vinyl but the iridescent green is interesting, and it plays flawless without clicks, and drowning in precise deep saturated sound on each track, on a good audio system this album creates a sound presence that cannot be matched on any other medium; I know because I have tried and failed.Last, I would say that for all the acclaim that Miles Davis justly deserves, I believe that if I he had created more music like the soundtrack pieces on this album, he would be remembered as a different type of composer, an exalted Eric Satie of jazz, someone whose melancholic style illustrated on this album has not yet and likely never will be imitated.

I saw this album discussed on YouTube. The poster indicated it was one of their top 10 jazz albums. I bought the cd. It did not disappoint. If you’re a Miles fan, you should include this in your library. I’m hoping to find the movie on Netflix or elsewhere. Just hope it’s subtitled!

Now that I have this CD I have every Miles CD from On the Corner (1972) back. For the longest time I'd never heard of it and then never really heard anything 'about' it.Finally decided to get it and boy do I wish I made that choice earlier.As far as Miles Davis the trumpeter goes I think this is his very best and that's really saying something. As far as Miles Davis albums go I'd say it's second tier. But with a first tier of Kind of Blue, Milestones, Relaxin' ect (basically the best jazz albums ever) saying this is second tier for Miles albums is intended to be a compliment. First tier by any other standard. 4 stars on the scale of Miles Davis albums. Definitely 5 stars in an overall jazz album scale.There's no Coltrane, Cannonball, Bill Evans, Philly Joe or any of the usual legends that generally played with Miles. But these guys are no slouches and Miles himself comes real close to making me forget his usual supporting cast with his trumpet.I might not suggest this as a first choice to someone just stating to explore Miles Davis albums but if you already have and know usual suspects DEFINITELY get this one. And especially if you are interested in his trumpet playing this is a must.There are some upbeat moments but I would definitely say this is pretty mellow. Perfect for Sunday mornings or just laying on the couch listening.

I loved hearing Miles Davis play something that I didn’t know existed. It’s a wonderful example 50’s Jazz and Miles at a young age.

Thoroughly enjoyed this album!

I first heard the song 'Generique' on the Lincoln car commercial with Matthew McConaughey, and loved it! The ad led me to this album, and the music is fantastic. However, this particular CD has a different track listing than the tracks listed on the CD insert. So if you're confused because the CD insert lists tracks with different titles, and in a different order, from the track list on Amazon.com, you're not alone!The insert lists the tracks in a completely different order than the actual order of the tracks on the CD, which makes me wonder which 'version' this is. If you look at the CD insert and compare it to the track list directly on this Amazon.com listing, you will notice they do not match - the track listing on Amazon.com is the accurate listing. You can also check this YouTube playlist (...) for a third source of track listings, which matches both the order of the tracks on the CD, and also the track list as presented here on Amazon.com. I took a screenshot of my properly re-labeled CD to further assist. I'm not sure why there is such a discrepancy, but I hope this helps people who are a little confused!
