""The Sea.....eventually" The words have echoed through my ears marking a moment in life when I discovered the most innovative musician of all time. Unlike most devout followers of Jimi I was not introduced to the legend by the infamous riffs of Purple Haze. Instead, I heard a different Hendrix as seen through the eyes of the Beautiful People. I was 8. I am a dedicated student of the stratocaster and have done all i can to work with Jimis Music, But nothing compares to the ingeneous work of the Beautiful People. This is one of the most amazing discs ever put together and is a must have for anyone into Jimi, Guitar, Techno, Sex, Drugs, or Rock N Roll. A must have at any party or a night alone with some hallucinogens. Unfortunatley it has come to my attention that the cd is out of print which is most unfortunate. So, any of you folks out there with cd burners make copies of this cd and spread it freely with love, it is an essential member in any collection. "Get your mind Together""

"I accidentally heard one of the tracks while flipping through the busy San Francisco radio dial. Being a big Hendrix fan, I marveled at how such an awesome piece of art had managed to escape me before. We're talking unmistakable Hendrix signature feel, masterfully interleaved with tasteful, beautifully done modern electronica. Fortunately, the DJ clarified the matter by mentioning it's by Beautiful People. Of course, the CD was already out of print. Bummer, because these guys deserve to make a lot of $$ for their hard work and talent. But due to poor business management, the CD has not been re-printed, depriving millions of potential fans of owning this landmark album. Napster to the rescue (this was early 2001). After several days of searching, I've burned a CD that has since been played hundreds of times. How can you tell a true classic? It still sounds just as fresh, and occupies the prestigious #1 slot in my CD changer. Dare I say that these guys, if they ever got back together, may be worthy of standing on the same pedestal as some of the greatest rockers and DJ's of our time?"

Way past tense...

"I am a dedicated rock and roller--since seeing The Beatles on Ed--but to be honest with you, I never was much into Jimi's ultra acid flecked jams--again, being a Beatle guy, I loved melody. What always seemed to grab my ear with Jimi, were his wonderful melodies--'Angel', 'Little Wing', 'Wind Cries Mary' etc.--though, Jimi is long gone (can you imagine him in an 'Unplugged' segment?!)this cd is a great way to get into the groove that is Hendrix--his melodies, his funk, his spirit. Dreamy, exotic and captivating--crank this up--perfect after a good surf session and a visit to Captain Hoppo."
