It contains compositions from prior albums, including In a Silent Way, On the Corner and Get Up With It, remixed by Bill Laswell; it is subtitled "Reconstruction and Mix Translation by Bill Laswell".[2] The album was composed as a dark, continuous tone poem divided by four sections of Davis' jazz fusion recordings. Panthalassa received generally positive reviews from music critics and sold well,[2] charting at number four on the Billboard Top Jazz Albums.[3] Composition and recordingsAn ambient, jazz fusion album,[1] Panthalassa is divided into four sections and composed as dark and continuous chronological tone poem of remixed songs recorded by Davis during his "electric" period.[6] Laswell was offered access to the original multi-track tapes and occasionally deleted the rhythm sections, brought up obscured instruments, added Indian and electronic droning sounds, constructed moody transitions, and premiered previously unreleased passages from Davis' sessions.[6] The album's first track was constructed as a reordered and truncated version of Davis' 1969 jazz fusion album In a Silent Way.[4] It is followed by 16 minutes of remixed music from the On the Corner sessions and approximately half-an-hour of music from Get Up with It.[6] The On the Corner section of Panthalassa showcased two new songs—the elaborate rock and funk of "What If" and the ominous march-like "Agharta Prelude Dub".[6] According to Bob Belden, "What If" was recorded on June 2, 1972, by Davis with a personnel including saxophonist Carlos Garnett, guitarists John McLaughlin and David Creamer, keyboardists Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Harold Williams, sitar player Collin Walcott, bassist Michael Henderson, and percussionists Billy Hart (cowbell), Jack DeJohnette (drums), Don Alias (conga), and Badal Roy (table). Paul Tingen surmised that Creamer, Garnett, and Henderson had their parts overdubbed into the track after it had been recorded. "Agharta Prelude Dub" was titled by Laswell after Davis' 1975 live album Agharta, on which its melody appeared. Davis scholar Jan Lohmann believed the track had been recorded on November 29, 1972, most likely by Davis, Garnett, Henderson, Roy, drummer Al Foster, percussionist James Mtume, keyboardist Cedric Lawson, and electric sitar player Khalil Balakrishna.[5] Critical reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[6] | rev2 = Encyclopedia of Popular Music | rev2Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[6] | rev3 = Entertainment Weekly | rev3Score = B+[14] | rev4 = The Village Voice | rev4Score = A[15] }} Panthalassa received positive reviews from critics.[7] The Wire called it an "ambient fusion power force which breathed new life into the originals without detracting from Davis's artistic intentions", crediting Laswell for "teasing out the music's spiritual dimension".[1] Steve Futterman from Entertainment Weekly believed the record's "most radical quality is the reverence that Laswell pays to his sources". Whether the remixes are "rhythmically bustling or meditative", Futterman wrote, they "seethe with Davis' still-startling visions".[8] Joshua Klein of The A.V. Club said the reordered songs did not "sound out of context" and commended Laswell for giving more exposure to these unappreciated "masterpieces".[4] AllMusic's Richard S. Ginell wrote that "despite the altered sonic landscape, Laswell accurately evokes in turns the lonely, exquisitely gleaming, nightmarish, despairing moods that Davis was exploring prior to his 1975 retirement".[9] Robert Christgau declared he would play the album as often as the electric-period Davis records In a Silent Way and Jack Johnson (1971).[10] He wrote in The Village Voice that listeners unfamiliar with Davis' fusion albums will find it to be "a passport to provisional utopia" in Panthalassa: {{quote|"Metastructures condensed, themes highlighted, beats punched up by a master tinkerer who's loved them forever, the transcendent buzz of electric Miles nevertheless remains undulant, unpredictable, perverse—and so relaxed about getting where it's not actually going that newcomers will find it hard to imagine how much more unhurriedly it might arrive."[10]}}In a year-end list for the Pazz & Jop critics poll, Christgau named Panthalassa the sixth best record of 1998.[11] When first hearing "Shhh/Peaceful" on Panthalassa, Geoff Dyer said he realized the impact such compositions had on ambient and chill-out music.[12] Track listing{{tracklist| title1 = In a Silent Way;[13] Shhh/Peaceful;[13] It's About That Time[13] | music1 = Miles Davis, Joe Zawinul | length1 = 15:20 | title2 = Black Satin;[14] What If; Agharta Prelude Dub | music2 = Davis | length2 = 16:06 | title3 = Rated X;[15] Billy Preston[15] | music3 = Davis | length3 = 14:34 | title4 = He Loved Him Madly[16] | music4 = Davis | length4 = 13:38 }} Personnel
