Here's something I got on the John Zorn mailing list that gives a hint as
to what it'll sound like....

Miles Davis: _Panthalassa - The Music of Miles Davis 1969-1974_. I was
originally told that this would be an "ambient dub" remix, but it isn't.
Instead, it is remixed in the original spirit with an emphasis on some of
the spacier and funkier aspects, and some ambient stuff linking together
different sections. Mixes are very clean with the rhythm tracks more
forward. This is in spirit close to last year's Pharoah Sanders' CD.
Release scheduled for sometime later this year on Sony. Track Listing:
1) In a Silent Way: sections of "In a Silent Way" and "Shhh/Peaceful" from
_In a Silent Way_
2) On the Corner: "Black Satin" from _On the Corner_ followed by two
unreleased jams from the same recording session
3) Rated X: "Rated X" and "Billy Preston" from _Get Up With It_
4) He Loved Him Madly: From _Get Up With It_
