==Background and style==
"Up From the Skies" was recorded on 29 October 1967, the last day of recording for the album, at Olympic Sound Studios in London.〔 Music website allmusic reviewer Matthew Greenwald described the song as "Musically, () a breezy, jazz-based stroll, and it's quite different from anything on his debut album." The musical style of the song was noted in popular Hendrix biography ''Jimi Hendrix: Electric Gypsy'' as boasting an "easy triplet jazz feel," bringing attention to the "delicate wah-wah and Mitch (The Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer )'s brush-work."〔
The lyrical content of the song is said to be articulated from the perspective of a visiting alien "concerned about what has happened to () since the last time he passed through."〔 Greenwald suggests that this motif is adopted to "() the older generation and their flaws and judgements against the youth of the 1960s," which Hendrix supposedly does "with a sense of idle curiosity rather than distaste, not unlike an alien visiting the planet Earth for the first time."〔
