Guitar god Jimi Hendrix was not only a stage animal but also felt at home in the studio. There he was much more thoughtful. Innovative and visionary ideas in the field of sound engineering and guitar playing eventually led to the monumental album Electric Ladyland (1968). It would also be his last studio album although he spent a lot of time in the studio after this. In the seventies this already… led to a stream of posthumous albums with dubious recordings that had actually not received Hendrix's approval. Valley Of Neptunes unfortunately does not exceed this. It contains a number of rough performances of well-known songs that were played in the studio as a warm-up, in addition to four still unknown songs. But these are audibly still in sketchy phases and can nowhere measure up to the material that Hendrix himself authorized. What the raw recordings do offer is a lot of unparalleled and spectacular guitar playing. But that speaks for itself. (MR)more
