1001 Albums Summary

A quintessential classic-rock triumph, acting as Hendrix' last dying effort, and his best record at that. Coming in an at an hour 15 minutes, the double album ( a less experimented, let alone well done concept at the time of its release ), consisting of 16 tracks ( all varying in length still without ever bringing the pacing down to a halt ) proves to be Hendrix and his ever-so under appreciated bands most out-there and indulgent record, even after the psychedelic-rock fusion that was 1967s 'Axis as Bold As Love". With the more muddy, and low fidelity mix, regardless to wether or not it was intended, the album fulfills its name giving off an "electric" feeling. Paired with Hendrix' unparalleled guitar-work, and the improvisational chemistry of Mitch Mitchell ( the bands lead drummer ), everything works towards the laid back, groove session vibe this album works for. With longer live performances such as "Voodoo Chile", and "1983 ( A Merman I should turn to be )", and standouts such as "Voodoo child ( Slight Return )" ( My god what a riff ), The Jimi Hendrix Experiences 1968 Full Length Lp "Electric Ladyland" acts as an underdog to the bands more classic rock n roll, Chuck Berry-esque predeceasing work ( Most prominently their breakout debut album "Are You Experienced", albeit great in its own right )
