From A.V. Club:
The Cure amplified the disorientation of Hendrix�s psychedelic �Purple Haze� By Annie Zaleski

In Hear This, The A.V. Club writers sing the praises of songs they know well. This week, in honor of Amanda And Jack Palmer�s covers album, we�re picking some of our favorite cover songs.
One of the more intriguing covers albums of the �90s (and, wow, there were plenty from which to choose) is 1993�s Stone Free: A Tribute To Jimi Hendrix. Not only did the record feature plenty of the expected guitar gods�Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Slash�but it also boasted the Spin Doctors jamming through �Spanish Castle Magic� and Belly unleashing a psychedelic �Are You Experienced?�
The album�s best detour, however, was The Cure covering �Purple Haze.� This particular version reinvents Hendrix�s original as a weird, reedy, industrial song. In fact, the tune closely resembles a factory�s humming, clanking machinery, what with its electro-plated rhythmic stutters, piano with a faint house music hangover, and Robert Smith�s vocal hiccups. Above all, The Cure amplifies the song�s original disorientation by taking an inventive approach with the song�s arrangement�it�s less a straightforward transformation than one marked by funhouse-mirror diffraction.
I�ve never been a huge Hendrix fan, but The Cure�s �Purple Haze� made me appreciate the original more�which, to me, is the hallmark of a successful cover. Perhaps unsurprisingly, however, the cover is a polarizing song for fans, one that either seems to be beloved or derided as terrible. Yet �Purple Haze� presaged the equally weird detours The Cure took later in the decade on 1996�s Wild Mood Swings, an album that moved away from moody, atmospheric dream pop and dabbled in everything from gnarled, psychedelic shoegaze to ornate cabaret. Rather than a one-off, the Hendrix cover seemed to steer The Cure in yet another direction.
