CD Reviews90% of the tracks existed as "Electric Layland" Outtakes! Bernie Weisz | Pembroke Pines,Florida | 05/29/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "That's right. And I have it!Jimi Hendrix: An Illustrated Experience Music afficionados that truly appreciate Jimi's music know that everything that exists on both "Crash Landing" and Midnight Lightning" were recorded in the summer of 1970 by Jimi in his newly opened Greenich Village, N.Y.C. Studio. Room Full of Mirrors: A Biography of Jimi Hendrix I have listened to these outtakes, and believe it or not, still have them on cassette! They are harsh, unrefined, and unmelodic! Hendrix: Setting the Record Straight Juxtaposed with what Alan Douglas put out, the tracks sound sharp, polished, and have a sound all of it's own. Jimi Hendrix: The Intimate Story of a Betrayed Musical LegendYes, it's all Hendrix, with a cleaner sound! The guitar leads in Midnight Lightning is ALL Hendrix, all undoctored, and only assisting leads, and improved bass of some very talented musicians that I am sure Jimi would of approved of are blended in! This is classic Hendrix, right up there with "Rainbox Bridge" and "The Cry of Love! This is equally true in "Crash Landing! In fact, the signature song (same as the album cover) rates as one of Jimi's most intense, raging guitar attacks right up there with his scorching lead in "Voodoo Child, Slight Return" Electric Ladyland, and Midnight" War Heroes. This is a double Hendrix treat not to be missed!" Producer Alan Douglass effort, but has its moments G. Harper | Georgia | 08/11/2009 (3 out of 5 stars) "These 2 albums have been deleted from the Jimi catalog in America and will never come back.
Alan Douglass re-produced these songs and even added new overdubbs from studio musicians he hired to play. Some of the version though are excellent....."Machine Gun" I think is stunning here, I really feel had Jimi heard this version, he wouda said "thats it! some of sings are very smooth and well polished, like "Message of Love". Then some songs are destroyed like "Gypsy Boy" whish was a early version of "Hey Baby, New Rising Sun" the original mix was great, but Douglass added background singers and the song is ruined, utterly ruined! But Still, its worth having and overall, they are not bad, certainly not as bad as the Hendrix purists dash these titles." |
