3 | ''Panthalassa: The Music of Music/MilesDavis 1969-1974'' is a 1998 album by Bill Laswell, released through Creator/ColumbiaRecords. Working from the premise that Davis' fusion albums were themselves heavily studio-edited, Laswell secured access to the original master tapes and [[RemixAlbum recut the music himself]]. Laswell aimed to create a more coherently-structured work, remixing the recordings to bring influential rhythm elements to the fore. Averting TheyChangedItNowItSucks, ''Panthalassa'' met a mostly positive response. |

12 | !! Black Satin tropes: |
13 | * [[Main/{{Ambient}} Ambient Music]]: Davis' "Get Up With It" was famously described as ''"music to fill a room"'', and Laswell plays up this aspect of the music for all it's worth, turning up tablas and electronic instrumentation where possible. |
14 | * CompilationRerelease |
15 | * EpicRocking: Even vastly shortened [[CharacterizationTags Fusion!Miles]] is still very lengthy. The album consists of four fifteen-minute tracks. |
16 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: "He Loved Him Madly". The original piece was Miles' tribute to then-recently diseased Music/DukeEllington. |
17 | * IdiosyncraticAlbumTheming: The album title corresponds with Davis' LiveAlbum theming - where "Agharta" and "Pangaea" denoted mythological continents, "Panthalassa" is named after the ocean of the same mythology. |
18 | * {{Instrumentals}}: All tracks. |
19 | * OneWordTitle: "Panthalassa". |
20 | * RemixAlbum: Rearranging the originals is the entire album concept. |
21 | * ShoutOut: The album title references Panthalassa, the vast global ocean that surrounded the supercontinent Pangaea during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. |
22 | * TheStoic: "In A Silent Way", "Shhh/Peaceful". |
23 | * VaguenessIsComing: "It's About That Time". |
24 | * XMakesAnythingCool: For instance: naming an instrumental track "Rated X". |
