I've been jamming Hendrix's 1968 masterpiece Electric Ladyland and I must admit this album has aged extremely well. I prefer it to the more commerical, yet satisfying Are You Experienced?. Electric Ladyland contains some of Hendrix's best experimentation and the guitar playing is phenomenal. My personal favorites are Have You Ever Been (to Electric Ladyland), Crosstown Traffic, Voodoo Chile, Burning The Midnight Lamp, All along the Watchter, and 1983...(A Merman I Should Turn To Be). Hendrix captured different moods and sounds on the aforementioned trax and his playing had a heavier touch of blues. This collection of songs should be a requirement for anyone that has ever thought about picking up a guitar. I can't help but be saddend when listening to the album, because Hendrix's future was so bright. He had just scratched the surface of his musical capabilities.

that one song where he has a slowed down vioce and talks about aliens and stuff is KUL! Damn that shit, good.

I can't remember the other one I was fond of but it was something about Waterfalls or sumthin'. I never bought the album, dont even know the name of it (dont have no name on it, just pictures), but i listened 2 it one day and I wastaken away in a guitar string (contemplating)

I love this album!
