I Can't See Your Face In My Mind 10. When The Music's Over Details Playing time: 35 min. Producer: Paul A. Rothchild Distributor: WEA Recording type: Studio Recording mode: Stereo SPAR Code: AAD Album notes The Doors: Jim Morrison (vocals); Robby Krieger (guitar); Ray Manzarek (keyboards, marimba); John Densmore (drums). Additional personnel: Douglas Lubahn (bass). Recorded at Sunset Sound Recorders, Hollywood, California. The Doors' second album redefined their uncompromising art. The disturbing timbre of Ray Manzarek's organ work provided the musical cloak through which guitarist Robbie Kreiger and vocalist Jim Morrison projected. Few singers in rock possessed his authority, where every nuance and inflection bore an emotional intensity. STRANGE DAYS contains some of the quartet's finest work, from the apocolyptic vision of the epic "When The Music's Over" to the memorable quirkiness of "People Are Strange" and "Moonlight Drive." The graphic "Horse Latitudes," meanwhile, confirmed Morrison's wish to be viewed as a poet, a stance ensuring that the Doors would always be more than just another rock band.Read full review
This is not generally regarded as one of The Doors best records but it spawned two of the greatest songs they ever recorded; When The Music's Over and Strange Days. WTMO is a sprawling, epic song a la "The End," from The Doors first release. It is a statement of Jim Morrison's beliefs and a baring of his soul. I cant recall anything from that time that made such a bold and unequivocal statement as, "Cancel my subscription to the resurrection, send my credentials to the House of Detention." "I've got some friends inside!" Pretty heavy stuff considering all the flower power and other hopeful vibes being put out into the universe at that time. Strange Days finds Morrison in sort of a crossroads of disbelief at realizing what the country and world, and his place in them had become, and the resignation to the fact that it was now a downward spiral he could not or would not get off of. Both of these songs, lyrically, are gut punches but when The Doors as a unit and band put the lyrics to music and breathe life into them they transcend mere music and touch the spirit and forever dwell in a dimension that is of this world and at the same time of some other world. Check it out!!!Read full review
This one is my number one, favorite Doors Album! I can dance around my house any day of the week and reminisce about College and Jim Morrison! BACK IN THE DAY .. lol I do love all the Doors albums but this one had my favorite line-up! Just being a LOST LITTLE GIRL most of the time anyhow, and ending with that ending style of the Doors, how they end all their albums with the PERFECT ending! This one ends with: When the Music's over! I can still hear my record player crackling a bit with those last few tracks on that song! Yes, this is yet another MUST HAVE!
EXCELLENT
