5.0 out of 5 stars
way past tense..., April 25, 2006
This review is from: If 60's Were 90's (Audio CD)
I am a dedicated rock and roller--since seeing The Beatles on Ed--but to be honest with you, I never was much into Jimi's ultra acid flecked jams--again, being a Beatle guy, I loved melody. What always seemed to grab my ear with Jimi, were his wonderful melodies--'Angel', 'Little Wing', 'Wind Cries Mary' etc.--though, Jimi is long gone (can you imagine him in an 'Unplugged' segment?!)this cd is a great way to get into the groove that is Hendrix--his melodies, his funk, his spirit. Dreamy, exotic and captivating--crank this up--perfect after a good surf session and a visit to Captain Hoppo.

"I Will Slip Into The Sea", February 27, 2000
This review is from: If 60's Were 90's (Audio CD)
"The Sea.....eventually" The words have echoed through my ears marking a moment in life when I discovered the most innovative musician of all time. Unlike most devout followers of Jimi I was not introduced to the legend by the infamous riffs of Purple Haze. Instead, I heard a different Hendrix as seen through the eyes of the Beautiful People. I was 8. I am a dedicated student of the stratocaster and have done all i can to work with Jimis Music, But nothing compares to the ingeneous work of the Beautiful People. This is one of the most amazing discs ever put together and is a must have for anyone into Jimi, Guitar, Techno, Sex, Drugs, or Rock N Roll. A must have at any party or a night alone with some hallucinogens. Unfortunatley it has come to my attention that the cd is out of print which is most unfortunate. So, any of you folks out there with cd burners make copies of this cd and spread it freely with love, it is an essential member in any collection. "Get your mind Together"

Hey, it's something new (sort of), September 10, 2004
This review is from: If 60's Were 90's (Audio CD)
My brother, a diehard Hendrix aficionado, suggested this one. At first listen, I found it quite disturbing. It seemed like sacrilege. "Clubatized" Jimi?! Please tell me it ain't so! But, after a couple of listens it grew on me. The mix is done respectfully. Some of the songs are definitely worth pressing the repeat button on the CD player for on the way to work. Buy a used one, you can't go wrong.
