Beautiful people-If 60's were 90's

Back in the late 90's some friends of mine dragged me along to see Hawkwind when i lived in London, and what a night it was to remember..the first backing band was called "Beautiful people", like most backing bands it's normally just a time filler to get the crowd in the mood for the main act, but what i witnessed, on that night was one of the best gigs i've ever been to..the lights went down and flashing lights & lazers burn't our eye balls out to a frazzle..then appeared a back drop with Jimi Hendrix on it,.followed by his voice & this amazing hendrix sounding guitar sound..i was totally blown away with this band..i thought to myself..they are sampling Hendrix guitar solo's but i was wrong it was this unknown little band who had a passion for Jimi Hendrix...i was that impressed by them, that i bought the album at the concert, after the gig..Hawkwind where excellent, but Beautiful People..stole the night for me..outstanding gig.

Tracklisting:
1.Comin' to get you.
2.Get your mind together.
3.If 60's were 90's.
4.Stone crazy.
5.Rilly groovy.
6.Happiness on the wind.
7.Sock it to me.
8.Feel the heat.
9.The sea...eventually.

this really is a excellent album, the band got permission from the Hendrix family to use the samples of his voice before recording the album...a hidden gem from the 90's which didn't get the credit it so rightly deserved.
enjoy.:)
