Solid Space -- Space Museum

  Mega obscure, cassette only, minimalistic Synth masterpiece and only release by Solid Space, mixing Psych, Folk with spacy keyboards.  This brilliant oddity was almost lost and buried from music forever.  Luckily with the power of the internet and youtube these esoteric recordings are no longer unheard and can finally get the recognition they deserve.

Jimi Hendrix

  I have no clue why this compilation exists, maybe it's just a label cash grab, it features a bunch of random numbers from Hendrix's career, from big hits to obscure tunes.  As much as he's a marvelous talent and the greatest guitarist of all-time, this album is way too laced with Jimi's heavier tracks, which are nice and all, but the continuous wild guitar solos can get taxing on the brain.  I personally prefer Hendrix's softer soulful side, which only came out from time to time, but I wish it were the focus of his career ... anyway this album seems to be pointless and I don't understand it's purpose!
