With this double set (now on one compact disc), Hendrix once again pushed the concept album to new horizons.įoobar2000 1.4.3 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1Īnalyzed: The Jimi Hendrix Experience / Electric LadylandĭR11 -5.20 dB -20.81 dB 1:24 01. As an album this influential (and as far as influencing a generation of players and beyond, this was his ultimate statement for many), the highlights speak for themselves: 'Crosstown Traffic,' his reinterpretation of Bob Dylan's 'All Along the Watchtower,' 'Burning of the Midnight Lamp,' the spacy '1983.(A Merman I Should Turn to Be),' and 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return),' a landmark in Hendrix's playing. What Hendrix sonically achieved on this record expanded the concept of what could be gotten out of a modern recording studio in much the same manner as Phil Spector had done a decade before with his Wall of Sound. Kudos to engineer Eddie Kramer (who supervised the remastering of the original two-track stereo masters for this 1997 reissue on MCA) for taking Hendrix's visions of a soundscape behind his music and giving it all context, experimenting with odd mic techniques, echo, backward tape, flanging, and chorusing, all new techniques at the time, at least the way they're used here. But Electric Ladyland is so much more than just background music for chemical intake. When revisionist rock critics refer to him as the maker of a generation's mightiest dope music, this is the album they're referring to. The result was not only one of the best rock albums of the era, but also Hendrix's original musical vision at its absolute apex.
Jimi Hendrix's third and final album with the original Experience found him taking his funk and psychedelic sounds to the absolute limit.
