I love you Giorgio Moroder but.....haha

love looking at his album covers, got a theory that mario was based on him.

I've never got sick of this record, perfect combination of jazz, funk, psych and rock. Hendrix's studio recordings are weak compared to his mastery at live music. Hendrix died only 3 months after this record was made, he easily had another amazing album left in him. 

 "the harmonies used in this recording move very slowly and function modally rather than in a more tonal fashion typical of mainstream jazz.... The static harmonies and rhythm section's collective embellishment create a very open arena for improvisation. The musical result flows from basic rock patterns to hard bop textures, and at times, even passages that are more characteristic of free jazz."
