Re: The Doors - Perception CD+DVD-Audio Box
I downloaded from Amazon what is called "2007 Remix Albums," not so much "Perception," but I assume they're the same?
well, here's one opinion I have since listening to the 2007 remix of the album Waiting For The Sun, specifically the second track - Love Street, which is a type of Doors song you listen to in private because, if any of today's hip-hop crew heard you listening to Love Street, they'd think you as having teh gay. Anyway, somebody is now whistling along to Jim Morrison's "LA LA-LA-LA LALALALA LA-LA-LA LALALALA" at the end.
...who gave that jerk, whomever it is, permission to add his whistling to Jim's gay little moment?
on the same token, Summer's Almost Gone was amazing! The remixes truly have both good and bad elements.
On The Doors album, Light My Fire is now "sped" up to its proper speed (which is faster), and at first it sounded like someone playing with the speed of a record player...it sounded fake at first. But upon second listen, it sounded phoemonenal! the version we all know and love clocked in over seven minutes. This new version (which is really what they intended all along) clocks in around 6:56 or something. But now you can actually hear and appreciate John Densmore's drumming!
There's a [to me] brand new intro to The Soft Parade song, a little melody of Jim reciting something, very nice. Was this excluded in the past for a reason?
