Those two albums arenвЂ™t gonna be featured on this list, because they have a more primitive presentation compared the the futuristic achievements of Electric Ladyland. But for the sake of my point, heвЂ™d already made Axis: Bold as Love (1967) and Are You Experienced? (1967) and set the tone for the legacy of this unfortunately short-lived, legendary outfit of him and Mitch and Noel. Firstly, quite literally in a self-built studio. Jimi was in an interesting place when recording this album.

This classicвЂ™s cover-photo was taken here, on just one red-flashing moment among the many. You know, if I was talking about something as ambitious as Voodoo Chile, and I could approach it with less blinding wide wonder at how crazy it is, if it was from the 2000s or 2010s. A 15-minute-long otherworldly Acid Rock adventure which I couldnвЂ™t say enough nice things about - especially for how groundbreaking it all was back in 1968. They were so poles-apart from each other even despite not being the most creative things out thereвЂ¦ but they worked on their own as well as setting a stage for something unprecedented.

Instead of using the sounds of car horns, Jimi simulated the traffic with the kazooДЇor how grand this album is, for how grand the song was especially for itsвЂ™ dayвЂ¦ Voodoo Chile is still a considerable feat for the previous tracks to set up. The kazoo riff on Crosstown TrafficВ was performed originally with a comb and a piece of cellophane. вЂњ IвЂ™m not the only soul whoвЂ™s accused of hit and run In terms of the grand progression of the whole record ItвЂ™s sort of a curveball, but more than throwing anybody out of the experience, it helps build the same overall intrigue as both tracks before it. It has a lot of apparent hit-potential which is instantly observable. And whereas there mightвЂ™ve been ambiguity in the sound of that number, it was the perfect stage-set for Crosstown Traffic, the first cut here that clearly moves with all the intentions to be a rock-out number.
