The Doors : Strange Days
Strange Days
is the second
studio album
by the American
Rock band
The Doors
Released in
September 1967,
it was a
commercial success,
reaching No. 3
on the
Billboard 200
album chart
and eventually
earning a
RIAA
platinum certification.
The album also
yielded the
Top 30 hit singles
"People Are Strange"
and
"Love Me Two Times".
Strange Days
was recorded during
tour breaks
between
May and
August 1967
at Sunset Sound
Recorders in
Hollywood
(the same studio as their first LP).
In contrast to
the 1966 sessions,
producer
Paul A. Rothchild
and engineer
Bruce Botnick
employed a
cutting-edge
8-track recording machine.
he protracted sessions
allowed the band
to experiment in the studio
and further augment
their otherworldly sound
with unusual instrumentation
and sonic manipulation;
developed with the assistance
of Paul Beaver,
the title track
constitutes one of
the earliest uses of a
Moog synthesizer in rock.
On the Morrison poem
"Horse Latitudes",
Botnick took the
white noise of a
tape recorder
and varied
the speed by
hand-winding it
(resulting in a sound akin to wind)
as the four band members
played a variety of
instruments in unusual ways.
Further varispeed was
then employed to
create different
timbres and effects
