I went through a Hendrix phase back in 1989 during my final teenage years. I rinsed his three albums so much that I haven't really touched them since. Over 30 years later seems like a good time to revisit them. There are some tracks on Are You Experienced that I don't remember - which is a little odd. I've moved away considerably from my earlier rock outlook. But I'm still something of a sucker for a powerhouse trio. Even if you listen to this album away from what must have been a revolutionary new sounds when it was first released, this is still a very, very powerful album.

Another artist I mainly know from the ‘greatest hits’. And so many of those are crammed in here. And with the different production styles this doesn’t feel like an album, but more of a compilation . However, is was revelation. Some great tunes here that were new to me, and even for a guitar-solo-sceptic such as myself, there is more than enough invention to make this irrelevant. I have probably heard Third Stone before, but it was good to hear it in amongst the rest and sounded fresh to these ears as a consequence.
