Customer Reviews full of overdubs Message of Love With the Power are kept pretty much in tact to how they were recorded. While I do and did enjoy this recordings it is important to understand that in fact the album was put together using various tracks in various forms of completion. Over the rainbow ,stone free again, Peace in Mississippi,come hard down on me baby uses the basic same song structure but new modern bass and drums. If you want to hear how they were recorded check out the box set or south saturn Delta. Captain Coconut was actually part of jam that was edited using another jam. So I guess if you are purist you don't want this cd. If you collect you love it. At the time when this and Midnight Lightning came out it was sold as new unreleased hendrix with lots of excitement. The new producer claimed that this was the "new direction" I guess it could have been worse and I am sure most are familar enough with the story behind these tracks . gigantic jimi fan Unfortunately the enjoyment of listening to more jimi tracks is ruined by the unsympathetic backing musicians, I was so disappointed when I bought this album, it just hung on the shelf gathering dust, pretty much any other jimi hendrix album will be more satisfying. . especially the albums released whilst he was alive, and his live offerings. Best Hendrix Album - Crash Landing I'm not going into anything technical here. I have listened to many Hendrix albums and some songs suit the mood and I flick through different tracks. But in terms of pure listening pleasure this album never fails to get me inpsired. Every track is a blast and its my favourite Hendrix album. In particlular the lead break on stone free I haven't heard on other albums, dolly dagger and message of love are real stand outs - In fact I'm gonna listen to it again now! Honestly, I can't undertsand the poor reviews. . . You can see a complete list of all Jimi Hendrix discography, or go back to the Jimi Hendrix tabs
