No Images necessary. Desert Island Music for me. 3rd Movement from Mahler’s 6th Symphony. Perfection. This, among a couple of other things, is the reason I’m very hesitant to label myself a composer.

Miles from 87, you could hear the influence Prince had on Miles in this period. I worshiped 80s Miles as a teenager and still think it holds up. That sound!
