EXTD=third box set of the Doors studio recordings to be released withi
EXTD=n the course of a decade, it is the second in a row to purport to
EXTD= house the "complete studio recordings" of a group that released 
EXTD=six studio albums -- and this doesn't count the live sets and hit
EXTD=s comps that have appeared during that decade, either. Needless t
EXTD=o say, the band has been packaged, repackaged, and reissued more 
EXTD=than most, but just because there has been more Doors boxes than 
EXTD=necessary doesn't mean that Perception lacks value. Indeed, it tr
EXTD=umps the 1999 box The Complete Studio Recordings in every sense, 
EXTD=since it covers the same territory in a set that is better packag
EXTD=ed and better-sounding while also offering many more rarities. It
EXTD= also offers brand-new remasters supervised by the surviving band
EXTD= and their original producer Bruce Botnick, highlighted by the fi

EXTD=h of the albums on the DVD-Audios that accompany each album in th

EXTD= already purchased these albums two, three, four times on CD. The
EXTD= bonus material -- and each of the albums have bonus tracks, rang

EXTD= which has been added to The Soft Parade. All this makes Percepti

EXTD=, the recording industry has asked fans to purchase the same musi

EXTD=repackagings, and, of course, reformattings. The Doors' box Perce
EXTD=ption (get it?), cleverly packaged as... a door, does hold some a
EXTD=stonishing music, but the thing itself is a weird hybrid beast wi
EXTD=th multiple formats for every release. Each of the group's six al
EXTD=bums has not only been re-remastered (this time by the remaining 
EXTD=band members plus original engineer Bruce Botnick as the "40th an
EXTD=niversary mix"), but loaded up with a bevy of previously unreleas
EXTD=ed bonus tracks. But that's not it--for each album, there's a com
EXTD=panion DVD, which includes a whole new 5.1 surround sound mix wit
EXTD=h more tracks, as well as the usual DVD extras, i.e., photo galle
EXTD=ries, lyrics, and videos. That makes 12 discs, much of it essenti
EXTD=ally redundant. If you're cool with that, you're in for a treat.

EXTD=****, November 22, 2006\nReviewer: Craig (Newport Beach, CA)\nI h
EXTD=ad bought a couple Doors CD's recently to replace my vinyl record
EXTD=s, and was on my way to buying all six Doors studio albums on CD,
EXTD= when I heard about "Perception" coming out, so held off. I bough
EXTD=t "Perception" yesterday and finished listening to the set today,
EXTD= and am very pleased. I bought the "Doors Box Set" a few years ag
EXTD=o and was very disappointed with that. But I really like "Percept
EXTD=ion." Maybe it's just my personal taste, but when bands try to pa
EXTD=ss off recordings of live performances as collectors' gems, I'm n
EXTD=ever ever thrilled. I just don't get too thrilled listening to li
EXTD=ve performances on record (which is why I'm not keen on the "Box 
EXTD=Set"). What I love are studio outtakes. And that's why I love "Pe
EXTD=rception" so much. To hear the studio version of "The Celebration
EXTD= of the Lizard" is really wonderful. I much prefer it to the vers
EXTD=ion on "Absolutely Live." To hear the development of "Roadhouse B
EXTD=lues" over multiple takes, with Paul Rothchild encouraging the Do
EXTD=ors in his hilariously dated sounding hippy-speak is wonderful. T
EXTD=o hear--during a work up of "Peace Frog"--Jim mildly berate the o
EXTD=ther Doors for sounding like "a drunk cripple" walking up "drunke
EXTD=n stairs" (and he's right, they're playing is way off!) is a trea
EXTD=t. And even though it's literally snippets of seconds, to finally
EXTD= hear the original studio version of "Break on Through" with Jim 
EXTD=singing "She gets HIGH," before "HIGH" was edited out, is great. 
EXTD=Also on "The Doors" album in this set, the mix for "The End" is l
EXTD=ike the "Apocalypse Now" version, in that Jim's ranting toward th
EXTD=e climax is brought forward, so you can hear him say, "eff me, ba
EXTD=be." That was mixed down in the original album because of the pro
EXTD=fanity. The Doors liked how Coppola remixed the song for "Apocaly
EXTD=pse Now," so they obviously took Coppola's remix as inspiration w
EXTD=hen remixing "The End" in this "Perception" set. The other studio
EXTD= outtakes are great, too (especially of "Touch Me" and "Moonlight
EXTD= Drive," meaning the "Moonlight Drive" take that was not on the "
EXTD=Box Set," of course). These outtakes are fairly plentiful on "Per
EXTD=ception" and that's why I like it. \n\nP.S. Rasmey Lewis fans wil
EXTD=l love the instrumental bonus track titled "Push Push" at the end
EXTD= of the "Soft Parade" disc, because Ray's piano playing and the s
EXTD=ong itself are wonderfully derivative of Ramsey Lewis's song "The

EXTD=XPERT REVIEW: The weakest studio album recorded with Morrison in 
EXTD=the group, partially because their experiments with brass and str
EXTD=ings on about half the tracks weren't entirely successful. More t
EXTD=o the point, though, this was their weakest set of material, lowl
EXTD=ights including filler like "Do It" and "Runnin' Blue," a strange
EXTD= bluegrass-soul blend that was a small hit. On the other hand, ab
EXTD=out half the record is quite good, especially the huge hit "Touch
EXTD= Me" (their most successful integration of orchestration), the vi
EXTD=cious hard-rock riffs of "Wild Child," the overlooked "Shaman's B
EXTD=lues," and the lengthy title track, a multi-part suite that was o
EXTD=ne of the band's best attempts to mix rock with poetry. "Tell All
EXTD= the People" and "Wishful Sinful," both penned by Robby Krieger, 
EXTD=were uncharacteristically wistful tunes that became small hits, b
EXTD=ut were not all that good, and not sung very convincingly by Morr
EXTD=ison. -- Richie Unterberger\n\nCD Connection Review:\nAdditional 
EXTD=personnel: Jesse McReynolds (mandolin); Jimmy Buchanan (fiddle); 
EXTD=Champ Webb (English horn); Curtis Amy (saxophone); George Bohanna

EXTD=Dismissed by the benighted as the Doors' "pop album," Soft Parade
EXTD= is one of the band's most adventurous recordings, utilizing stri
EXTD=ngs and horns without resorting to schlocky over-production and m
EXTD=oving far beyond their blues roots. Morrison was fully into his s
EXTD=haman phase by 1969, and his obsession with that image is reflect
EXTD=ed in the proselytizing air of "Tell All the People," and of cour
EXTD=se "Shaman's Blues." The album's biggest hit "Touch Me," while ea
EXTD=sily the group's most radio-friendly offering, is a pop classic t
EXTD=hat ranks among the great '60s AM radio tunes. "Wild Child" is a 
EXTD=brief return to the blues-rock of yore, but the title track is a 
EXTD=sophisticated, extended piece that moves through several differen
EXTD=t moods and textures, full of the elliptical, poetic lyrics that 
EXTD=were Morrison's trademark.
