De púrpura y plata

The Jimi Hendrix Experience (The Jimi Hendrix Experience, 2000) [RECOPILATORIO]

BLUES ROCK PSICODÉLICO. Sin ambages, estamos ante el cofre definitivo que guarda los tesoros de Jimi Hendrix, guitarrista referencial, dios del instrumento, pero sobre todo músico, compositor e intérprete de talla mitológica. No se me ocurre persona a la cual no recomendar esta colección, ya sea fanático y conocedor de las mieles del de Seattle o alguien que se quiera iniciar en sus maravillas.

A lo largo de estos cuatro CDs podemos presenciar el germen de un trío fastuoso. Una banda armada a martillazos que no podía sonar más orgánica ni más cohesionada. Un milagro al que asistimos atónitos mientras nos van desgranando el proceso creativo a partir del cual fueron creciendo joyas eternas como "Purple Haze", "Hey Joe" o "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)". Clásicos irrebatibles que nos encontramos aquí en diferentes pieles, mayormente, tomas de estudio inéditas hasta ahora.

Con ellas solo ya nos bastaría para tener un cuadro impresionante de la música que facturaron los tres, pero no es lo único a lo que hincar el diente aquí. Tomas en directo, rarezas y piezas no por ocultas menos fundamentales dentro de su cancionero completan una colección que hará las delicias del melómano más exigente. Una rotundidad que se eleva bien por encima de todas las redundancias y dejavus que podrían hacernos arquear la ceja si ya conocemos bien el catálogo de nuestro Cherokee predilecto. Aquí está casi todo lo que importa en un solo pack que nos permite saltarnos el picoteo por las miles de referencias postmortem con las que han ido chupando la sangre del cadáver. Misión cumplida por tanto.
