This album has some great moments. Crosstown Traffic, for instance, is not only the best thing Hendrix recorded, but one of the best tracks EVER recorded. And there are some interesting sounds and techniques on here, notwithstanding Hendrix’s playing itself. But this doesn’t really hang together as an album, and there is too much extend jamming in places for my taste. There are too many different styles and the production doesn’t pull the tr=hreads together well enough. Hit and miss, and would have made a much better, selectively-edited, single album.
