    All Music Guide Review

    Jimi Hendrix's third and final album with the original Experience found him taking his funk and psychedelic sounds to the absolute limit. 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. 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. But Electric Ladyland is so much more than just background music for chemical intake. 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. 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. 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 Chile (Slight Return)," a landmark in Hendrix's playing. With this double set (now on one compact disc), Hendrix once again pushed the concept album to new horizons. [Experience Hendrix offered up it's 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition in 2008. The package included an expanded booklet, a remastered CD and a bonus DVD featuring "At Last...The Beginning: The Making of Electric Ladyland."] ~ Cub Koda, Rovi

    40th Anniversary re-release of Electric Ladyland, along with "At last... The Beginning: The Making of Electric Ladyland" which documents the creation of Jimi’s groundbreaking 1968 double album.

    Jimi’s closest associates returned to share their remembrances of the album and its lasting influence. Experience bassist Noel Redding, drummer Mitch Mitchell and co-manager Chas Chandler detailed their contributions while engineer Eddie Kramer re-examined the many multi-track tapes created during the sessions.

    Help from Jimi’s ‘friends and passengers’ came by way of new interviews with drummer Buddy Miles, Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady, Traffic’s Dave Mason and Steve Winwood, among others.

    Originally produced in 1997 as part of the Classic Albums television series, this newly edited, expanded edition features almost 40 minutes of additional content not seen in the original feature.
