Exquisite. Buy it now. May 2, 2003

This is the soundtrack album for a film called 'Siesta'. The film has pretty much disappeared from the catalogues, probably because it got a bit of a panning from the critics. This music lives on though. Deservedly so. Miles Davis' evocative playing is so exquisite here that the movie is totally irrelevant, the music is all that matters, and this really does matter. Buy it. Savour it. Close your eyes and be carried away by it. Once you have heard it you won't want to be without it ever again.
This takes you right beside her.... May 21, 2002

..it is so intensely moody, lonely and haunting that you are right there, with (?as?) the female protagonist of the story. I'm not normally a modern jazz/Miles Davis fan, but there is a very clear, calling voice here you can't ignore. Whether it's Gil Evans' arrangement for Miles Davis (he did a lot of that, apparently) or sheer improv., or written down note for note, I don't care. By the end of it, I was soo upset I couldn't BE there in the landscape the plaintiff calling of the horn and orchestral support had so easily sketched.
This wasn't an album I just 'listened' to - I felt it/experienced it and feel bad for anyone who hasn't got it.
You will NEVER forget this album.
