blackguitaristz said: Also too Aud, I just look at the night and day difference between those 2 albums, although they were cut close together. Jimi's playing on Axis is so much more "polished". Especially on his rhythm playing. I actually prefer his leads way more on Are You, but his rhythm on Axis is flawless. I know the sound of the recording on Axis is more "smoother". I again, prefer the overall mix on Are You. Probably due to the increased comfort level with his second shot at recording his own material. AYE? is all over the map stylistically. Not a bad thing, it just is. Axis tends to lay into more R&B flavored grooves hence the corresponding rhythm playing. tA  Tribal Disorder

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 Exactly. I've stressed several times in my posts in the past about how much at peace Jimi seemed on Axis. I mean he is killin' on the Curtis Mayfield vibe on just off the hook beautiful rhythm playing on "Castles", "One Rainy Wish" and the grand title track. And just bona/fide funk/rock in "Little Miss" and "Spanish". It's not my favorite album of his but dammit it, it should be, cuz uh, I think it's his best.
