DOORS - Other Voices / Full Circle (1971-72) - Digipack Edition - VERY RARE

This CD, released by a small label, contains the last two studio albums by The Doors, recorded after the death of the charismatic vocalist. While almost every fan of old rock can effortlessly name the albums recorded with Morrison, hardly anyone today remembers "Other Voices" from 1971 and "Full Circle", recorded a year later... All in all, somewhat unfairly. Of course, without Jim Morrison even such talented musicians as Manzarek, Krieger and Densmore could not make a work on a par with the brilliant debut, "Strange Days" or even "L.A. Woman", but it must be admitted that these are really quite good albums. The first of them in particular has plenty of excellent moments (including the opening "In The Eye Of The Sun", the longest on the record, "Ship w/Sails", and the last, "Hang On To Your Life")! It is definitely worth getting to know these records - after all, without them the history of one of the most important rock bands is incomplete. The digipak is quite attractively presented, and the sound quality is very good. Highly recommended. (K)
