Voodoo Soup Reviews:
The Most Complete & Incomplete Album Ever! 
2009-09-18 - I first listened to all of the Voodoo Soup tracks on YouTube prior to ordering. So I knew what I had coming. Actually listening to them is what prompted me purchase. Knowing Jimi died and Voodoo Soup was compiled by another, happily each and every song delivers. We will never truly know what direction Jimi's music could have taken because DRUGS WILL DESTROY A PERSON. I feel satisfied as a fan, embracing what he left as a conclusion to his eternal legacy. The songs of this album, demonstrate Jimi's true range, from soft airy instrumental to bursting electric tunes streaming from his mouth and hands. A must in the collection of any persons musical library.
only Idiots rate this higher than 1 star
2009-08-11 - Alan Douglass went back in the studio, took finished and unfinished tracks and REMIXED them, and heavily remixed them, some sound worse and have a bootleg like quailty to them, one I feel did sound better "Drifting". This was his idea to replace the orignal 1971 release of "The Cry Of Love" both are now out of print and replaced by the superior "First Rays of the new rising Sun" brought back were the orignal mixes used by Eddie Kramer, Mitch Mitchell, and Jimi hemslef acyually produced 4 of the tracks.
Out Of Print and Out Of This World!
2007-08-09 - The original masters done before the estate took over. If you can still find it, buy it!
Captures the Imagination 
2007-06-24 - Posthumous speculation on what Hendrix was going to release next. A great collection of mature late Hendrix as he moved into a new period. Heavy guitar solos like Midnight, Pali Gap and Peace in Mississippi really beef up the vocal tracks. This album has been heavily criticized for tampering with the Hendrix vision, but the song selection is better structured than the official release New Rays. It also does justice to the tracks they just threw onto South Saturn Delta without any thought of album cohesion.
Desert Island Disc - if only every copy of this CD were on one 
2007-04-09 - If someone had previously seriously suggested to me that some day people might actually start to like this album in a sort of Hendrixian post-modernist way, I would either have thought they were playing some kind of practical joke or were friends of the Alan Douglas family. But the out-of-print label can make even the most awful releases seem somehow more attractive once the bargain bins have emptied and they are no longer available in large quantities, and I fear that is the case here. Buy this only if you have 'First Rays' from Experience Hendrix and want to appreciate just how easy it is to mess up the job of assembling Jimi's final studio album. The pre-Douglasized versions on 'First Rays' are THE versions - the mix, the sound, is far more like that of Jimi's own mixes. Voodoo Soup is a release by the artist Alan Douglas and his sessionmen using the tapes of Jimi Hendrix as his instrument, and is to be seen as a continuation of 'Crash Landing' and 'Midnight Lightning', another two dismal releases not worth tracking down for those interested. As a Hendrix record producer he allowed himself to tamper just too much with the artist's product, his live releases Woodstock and Isle of Wight suffering equally from this tendency. The only Douglas releases worth listening to are 'Nine to the Universe', although the full jams are now available on various Dagger releases, and of course 'Blues', which must be Douglas' career highlight. Let's all be grateful that finally as close to the intended album as possible came out with EH's 'First Rays'.
