Free Music Review: the DVD's of 5.1 sound is GREAT! Some new mixes lack....
Hit: 4 Stars
One gripe about the package is they sell you the BOX set, it easily couda been whittled down, all the DVD's (one DVD fopr each Doors album) all would fit on one single DVD, just a waste to jack up the price.....BUT....the 5.1 mixes are great!
The first album in 5.1 is sorta lame, almost as if it was the first one they remixed in 5.1 and then got better as they progressed.
All the songs have NEW stereo re-mixes, most have elxcellent sound separation but some of the tracks sound as if they were recorded in a shack, who knows, maybe they were.
Some new mixes notables on the Bad side.....
1. "Break on Through" for years and years we heard the verse "she gets...she gets...she gets whaoa...."
Now the "hidden" vocals are brought up and its sung "....she gets high...she gets high...she gets whaoa..."
I think the first mix has a better balance of rythem and beat to it.
2. The End.....near the end of the song at the musical climax, the old mix we hear the band building to the climax and explodes to a creshendo with Robbies feedback guitar work...excellent!
*The new mix brings up Jims vocals and hes just mubbling gibberish like "yah..yah...boop..yah...blah...we---oh...."
Makes it sound like trash..totaly ruins the muisical instrumentation climax.....maybe thats the way the band originally wanted it, but for 40 years we all enjoyed the first mix, now its gone.
Over all, great sound....agian....in this day of mp3's.....all couda fit onto 2 CD's and 1 DVD.....oh well.
Free Music Review: Surviving the test of time
Hit: 4 Stars
The Doors' first 6 albums comprise this package, which features all the attributes--and flaws--of arguably one of the most important rock 'n' roll bands of all time. Though productive for only about three years, the Doors' sound survives the test of time. Ray Manzarek's organ, Robbie Kreiger's versatile guitar and John Densmore's articulate percussion sound as fresh today as they did 40 years ago. But the real reason to buy this package is because it is haunted--chillingly so. The ghost of Jim Morroson is alive and well, packing more power than any other rock and roll front man since his death at 27 back in 1971. Although Manzarek and Krieger penned many of the lyrics, one can't help but conclude Morrison's poetic aptitude pumped up the repertoire larger than life. If you're over 50, do yourself a favor and add this to your collection. It'll make you proud to be a part of the generation that challenged the American status-quo before buying back into the same so eagerly. You can smell the ten dollar lids, see the black light and flourescent posters. The Summer of Love has not yet faded into history.Free Music Review: Can I listen to DVDAudio in 2 channel and still get the DVDAsound
Hit: 4 Stars
I'm at a loss as to whether I can listen to DVDAudio and SACD in stereo and still get the sound benefits of those formats. I'm only set up for 2 channel but I love the warmth in sound that the formats offer. I do have a "universal" player.Free Music Review: Doors Perception Box Set
Hit: 2 Stars
I was disappointed with the operational characteristics of the Strange Days CD in the set. It had several weird versions of the songs and it had a song made up of 3 songs that were put together in a concatenated collage. These weird songs were not even listed on the jacket. The CD covers were different colors and have nothing to do with the original album releases. All in all, the set was very strange indeed. Whoever put it together must still be on LSD.
