"Riding On The Storm ~ Activating The Libidinal Forces Within The Mystical, Musical Body" | 2008-11-02 |

Probably the most amazing thing about music is its ability to speak to different aspects of the inner self. It can inspire one to lofty ecstatic visions, elicit fits of joyous laughter, plummet one into the depths of melancholy and despair just to name a few. When I listen to the music and lyrics of `The Doors' something always kicks into motion that is unique to this band, to give this dark, overshadowing feeling a name I'll label it "libidinal energy", all the while understanding that I'm writing about a power that far beyond the confines of labels and categories.
If you're a fan of their music you know exactly what I'm talking about. Their music is hypnotic, invigorating, maddening and transformative. If you've ever seen footage of Jim Morrison gyrating about the stage while performing you've had a glimpse of that power. Don't you experience the desire to do the same thing when you're listening to their music, I do. There has been nothing like it before the advent of `The Doors' and nothing since their demise. If you don't know what I'm talking about or if you're already a believer who simply can't get enough you need to get the two-disc compilation `The Best of the Doors' containing as the title suggests the best of this legendary band.
One of the Rock Essentials. |

It's difficult for me to speculate how many hundreds of times I've played this double CD set but I'll just say "often, for many years". "The Best of The Doors" represents the very essence of Classic Rock music of the turbulent 60s.
The Doors generated a unique, incredibly palatable sound, apart from all others. While this caveat probably exuded from "theater" as much as it did from musical innovation, the band's keyboard player, Ray Manzarek, was clearly as responsible for the brilliance of these compositions as was Jim Morrison himself.
Here's the lineup of these great old rock tunes:
CD No. 1 Break on Through Light My Fire (7:05 version) The Crystal Ship People Are Strange Strange Days Love Me Two Times Alabama Song (bonus track -- CD only) Five to One Waiting for the Sun Spanish Caravan When the Music's Over
CD No. 2 Hello, I Love You Roadhouse Blues L.A. Woman Riders on the Storm Touch Me Love Her Madly The Unknown Soldier The End
For those who savor such information, this CD is from Elektra, No. 9 60345-2. This "best of" album lives up to its assertion. If you want to hear all the Morrison greats, seize on this one, my friends. |

"Oozing The Morrison" | 2008-06-26 |

I live just down the street from the Whiskey and I swear when you walk in that place you still feel Jim's presence, I also take everyone who ever comes to visit to Venice Beach where there is a giant mural of Jim painted on the side of an apartment building and I drink Strongbow's at Barney's Beanery where Jim planted his hot bootie night after night - to me Jim and the Doors represent a very interesting part of LA history, but for some reason this is the first time I've actually owned a Doors CD - and I can't not even fathom what I was thinking.
The strangest part is I owe it to Wal Mart(sorry Amazon) who had this double disc remastered version for only $9.72 I picked it up immediately and can't stop listening to it. 2 full discs of ballsiness, organs, long guitar interludes and oozing sexuality. This disc has it all - the full 6 minute "Light My Fire," "Break On Through", "Hello I Love You", "Love Me Two Times", "LA Woman", the oozy appeal of "Riders On The Storm," "Touch Me" - all of it. One of the best $10 spots I ever spent. If there's a used version buy it - buy it now.
