About this album

You're Under Arrest is a sharp late-period Miles Davis album that folds jazz fusion and electro into his restless 1980s language. Released in 1985, it shows Davis reworking contemporary pop material alongside his own band-driven ideas, with the electric instrumentation and clipped rhythms giving the record a tense, urban edge. Heard as part of the era when Davis was embracing younger players and modern studio textures, it reflects his refusal to stand still or repeat past glories. Its mix of improvisation, atmosphere and cover-driven reinvention makes it a revealing document of an artist still chasing the next sound.
