Free Music Notes for Perception

Free Music Review: Doors in 5.1? Umm Hmm.
Hit: 5 Stars

This is a review of the 5.1 Surround versions of the albums.

A couple of other reviewers have made some negative comments about the 5.1 mixes. I have to say, I think they are pretty darn good.

To my non-engineering ears, 5.1 mixes come in two types. There are the kinds of mixes that were done for a lot of the old Quadrophonic mixes (I still have my quad amp). They simply mixed some ambience in the rear speakers. In other words, the rear speakers contained things you would be expected to hear in a concert hall behind you. The main band parts still were in the front speakers, some echo or crowd noise behind you from the rear speakers. I have some 5.1 CD's that kind of do this, minimal participation from the rear 'surround' speakers. BOC's "Agents of Fortune" is an example. Some guitar tracks, maybe a bit of percussion is all that you get from the rear.

There were some quad mixes that put different instruments in each track. A good example is Deep Purple's Machine Head. This is what most 5.1 mixes do, a separate sound track in each chammel, with the voice usually from the center channel, and the bass drum and guitar from the subwoofer. This is what the Doors 5.1 mixes do. I really like them. I think most of us will agree, most Doors albums did not feature a huge number of overdubs. So, there is not that much to stick in each channel, it gets kind of stark. But, no matter, I LIKE the feeling of being in the MIDDLE of the band, not in front of it.

Point here is that the 5.1 mixes are, to my ear, just fine, and what I paid my money for. Along with the 5.1 DVD's are great stereo mixes on CD's, so there really is no down side.

Perception Poster

6CD/6DVD Boxed set celebrating the 40th anniversary of this legendary band: All their Jim Morrison-Era studio albums reissued in deluxe 2-disc editions with rare & previously unreleased bonus material, 5.1 mixes, bonus video content, and more!
For years, the recording industry has asked fans to purchase the same music from the 1960s and '70s over and over again, via remasterings, repackagings, and, of course, reformattings. The Doors' box Perception (get it?), cleverly packaged as... a door, does hold some astonishing music, but the thing itself is a weird hybrid beast with multiple formats for every release. Each of the group's six albums has not only been re-remastered (this time by the remaining band members plus original engineer Bruce Botnick as the "40th anniversary mix"), but loaded up with a bevy of previously unreleased bonus tracks. But that's not it--for each album, there's a companion DVD, which includes a whole new 5.1 surround sound mix with more tracks, as well as the usual DVD extras, i.e., photo galleries, lyrics, and videos. That makes 12 discs, much of it essentially redundant. If you're cool with that, you're in for a treat. From the spookier, unissued version of "Indian Summer" to the entirely new tune "Push Push" and some super-rad footage of the band rehearsing L.A. Woman, it's easy to fall in love with this swirling, highly sexualized, and often brilliant band all over again. --Mike McGonigal
