Axis bold as Love br The title track of the second Experience album, Axis: Bold as Love (1967), features the first recording of stereo phasing.Author Keith Shadwick described the song as "possibly the most ambitious piece on Axis, the extravagant metaphors of the lyrics suggesting a growing confidence" in Hendrix's songwriting The album's opening track, "EXP", featured innovative use of microphonic and harmonic feedback.It also featured a stereo panning effect in which sounds emanating from Hendrix's guitar move through the stereo image, seeming to revolve around the listener. br Hendrix was disappointed that the album had to be re-mixed so quickly, and he felt that it could have been better had they been given more time.[125] He also expressed dismay regarding the album cover art work, which depicts Hendrix and the Experience as various forms of Vishnu, incorporating a painting of them by Roger Law, from a photo-portrait by Karl Ferris. Hendrix stated that the cover would have been more appropriate had it highlighted his American Indian heritage.

In February 1968, Axis: Bold as Love reached number 3 in the US. br Electric Ladyland br (1968) was Hendrix's third and final non-posthumous studio album.
