Haven't heard this one since I discovered it as a teenager, looking forward to play it soon.
A couple of beefs: There are some backing vocals on a couple of tracks (I think by Mitch Mitchell) that are so bad that they threaten to ruin the songs (most notably on Wait Until Tomorrow). They don't - the songs are too good for that - but it would have been nice if someone in the studio had told this dude that he can't sing. And why was Little Wing cut short at 2:27? The fade out starts just as Jimi starts soloing and you're made to feel like you had two bites of filet mignon and someone snatched the plate away. What's there is gorgeous but, as Derek and the Dominos and Stevie Ray Vaughan demonstrated with their fabulous covers, this song was meant to be stretched out. (Ironically the opposite of so many rock/pop songs today that drag on for over 5:00 minutes and should have been at least two minutes shorter).
Given the overall quality of the songs and the performances, these are relatively minor complaints. It is still a masterpiece that any serious fan of rock music must own.
For me, Spanish Castle Magic, Little Wing, Castles Made of Sand, One Rainy Wish, and Bold As Love are his best tracks of the set. Spanish... rocks with Mitch Mitchell's tight drumming and Noel Redding's dead on bass. Little Wing, the achingly tender/sweet love song with a guitar accompaniment that guides you surely along with its enchantingly bold & beautiful melodic lead, yet carresses with delicate supplemental chords and notes dancing intricately into and around the lead, gives the feeling that lyrics are almost unnecessary. Castles... is another example of how Hendrix uses his guitar to dress his vocals in an intertwinement of melodic chords and riffs that emphasize the song's theme. One Rainy Wish's dreamy, idealic theme is interupted in the middle by a potent injection of a tunefully rockin' mix of a maxed-out guitar vertuoso and explosive lyrics, before it settles back into its dream-like reverie. Bold As Love- Forget it! This piece bespeaks Hendrix' ambitious attempt to encapsulate the human dilemma in the raging drama and passion that captures Hendrix, the genius, at his artistic best. There's no way to describe the band's onslaught into the song's final crescendo; the pagentry, the majestic expanse, the ever straining spiraling ascension to new heights... You've got to hear it to believe it!
The album flips the bird to establishment in the typical 60's fashion (If 6 Was 9), and pokes jazzy fun at humanity (Up From the Skies). In conclusion, Axis paved the way for his stunning masterpiece, Electric Ladyland, and gives glimpses into his later work on the album entitled Cry Of Love. Definitely worth the investment for those who wish to understand The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
