'are you experienced?' is probably the most rock-oriented of hendrix's official studio releases, but its influences are incredibly diverse. 'third stone from the sun' recalls the supple octaves of jazz guitarist wes montgomery; the churning afro-cuban polyrhythms of 'manic depression' evoke john coltrane and elvin jones; 'i don't live today' employs ritualistic native american drumbeats; and the title tune borrows the eastern airs of sitarist ravi shankar. the mix, beautifully refreshed on this reissue, is dark and churning, a dense wall of sound. mitch mitchell and noel redding blast away with a barely controlled fury, and there's a distorted metallic edge to hendrix's guitar timbre that has made 'are you experienced?' a particular favourite among rock and heavy-metal guitarists. 'purple haze' and 'foxey lady' helped define the power-trio format, thanks to hendrix's full-bodied rhythm guitar and his soaring solos. 'are you experienced?' also established hendrix as a singer-songwriter. his dylanesque vocals and spacey imagery make each tune a little gem, especially on gentle outings such as the ballad 'the wind cries mary'.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Legacy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59136695468415,"sku":"886919389029","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/2825\/4773\/files\/Jimi-Hendrix-Are-You-Experienced-CD.jpg?v=1794238528","url":"https:\/\/vinilo.co.uk\/products\/jimi-hendrix-are-you-experienced-copy","provider":"Vinilo Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
