‘When the Music’s Over’ by the Doors c/d?

11 minute trip into dark, swirling cacophonic madness, complete with psychedelic solo the size of an aircraft hanger, flowering organ fills and an unstoppable bass hook, tied up by the howls of a drug crazed shaman or overly-long egotrip loaded with incoherent bombast, predictable to the point of comatose, empty and irrelevant posturing, a fool’s escapism.

Dug this out again last night and listened to it over a J and I’ve got to say that it's rather good. Like drowning under waves of molten, frazzled perception. That solo from Krieger is absolutely enormous, one of the biggest I can think of, way up in the mix, bending and phasing like a spitting hydra on strong acid, and that bass line – please tell me that’s not Manzarek’s left hand. If Morrison wants me to cancel my subscription to the resurrection, this is the method to persuade me that he’s not talking incoherent nonsense.

Dude, turn out the light!

The only Doors I could really get excited about wanting to listen to now is the pretty croony pop stuff. I haven't listened to this in a long time. Maybe I should try.

Never heard it, but it's gotta be better than "The End."
