Have just seen a car flying two St George's flags and I don't even live in Essex!

It's all about English nationalism, of course. St George, Nigel and all that.

Beautiful music!

Well, it will certainly engage you. There'll be a response - you won't go to sleep - which is more than you can say of some movies!

Have just seen it. While I concede that an element of fiction may be necessary in a good biopic, I'll leave you to judge the facts of this one. (Those concerned about spoilers look away.) The movie shows the emergence of Miles from his stay-at-home phase to present a previously unheard sound - his electric period. (OK on the dates so far? ) Miles, at war with the world in general, has one buddy throughout the movie - a Scotsman played by Ewan McGregor. As Peter Bradshaw writes in today's Guardian: "McGregor is arguably yet another example of the white partner that Hollywood requires of its African-American stars." Miles must be turning in his grave! The seeds of the new sound are contained in a tape and Miles takes the final leap from the sounds on the tape via the assistance of a young trumpeter called Junior to achieve the electric period sound. (Don't even bother to check the biographies.) At one stage music industry baddies steal the tape, leading to a car chase and shootout. Well, at least there was some nice music on the soundtrack!

First owned it c.1960 on vinyl, later on CD. Agree Art and Spanky sounded less together than on recordings like Hard Drive. Thanks for alerting me to the extra tracks. Will give it a listen on Spotify.
