Well we never thought this little bundle of treats would be as good as it is, but then again it is Hendrix.
Im so so happy this album have been released, really really fresh sounding and absolutely amazing as ever. Where to begin ... from start to finish its just jaw dropping. personally i didnt hold high hopes of this being a classic as i thought it was gonna be a collection of naff B sides but it really really is great. Tracks like 'bleeding heart' and 'hear my train comin' are up there arguably with the likes of Voodoo child and Purple Haze!
Of course there are many tracks hendrix fans have heard, but so what! there all brilliant and should be rammed down the throat of any rock fan.
The guitar work ..... ill stop there ........ too obvious......
so smooth, cool and 60's its just gorgous! Hendrix is a pure legend and the spirit of his work lives with this great album 'Valleys Of Neptune'. I urge any Hendrix fan who hasnt allready, grab a copy and dedicate some time to this almost perfect album. The best release of 2010 so far and it was recorded over 40 years ago.
Hats of to Eddie Kramer, John McDermott and Janie Hendrix (producers and engineers of this masterpiece)
hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
