license to MCA Records, Inc. in 1997.
Jimi's catalog, they signed a long-term deal with MCA
Records and pulled many of the compilations of unreleased
material and rarities off the shelves, with the intent of
assembling Hendrix's uncompleted last album, was the first release from Experience Hendrix LLC, and
it was followed months later by South Saturn Delta, a collection of rarities -- all but one of the 15 tracks
were never officially released in the U.S. -- that spans his entire career. Its intent is to capture the full
range of Hendrix's music through an alternate history, and it works pretty well. Among the highlights are
tracks from the War Heroes and Rainbow Bridge Concert albums ("Look Over Yonder," "Tax Free,"
"Midnight," "Pali Gap," "Bleeding Heart"), "Sweet Angel" (an early version of "Angel"), an instrumental
"Little Wing," a solo take on "Midnight Lightning," and a studio version of "Message to the Universe
(Message to Love)." There are also alternate mixes of "All Along the Watchtower," "Power of Soul,"
"Drifter's Escape," "South Saturn Delta," and "The Stars That Play With Laughing Sam's Dice." It's an
intelligently sequenced, listenable collection of some of the very best outtakes and rarities from Hendrix,
and is another sign that Experience Hendrix LLC's restoration of Jimi's catalog will be smart, stylish,
and logical. (Stephen Thomas Erlewine - Barnes & Noble)
