Search - The Doors :: Morrison Hotel

Morrison Hotel opens with the harsh brilliance of ''Roadhouse Blues,'' its angry hard rock manner brought to the fore in brooding fashion with a chillingly true Morrison lyric: ''I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer/The future's uncertain and the end is always near.'' The Rolling Stones' review paired it with the buoyant catchiness of another Morrison Hotel single, ''Land Ho''. The album, along with five other Doors studio LP titles, is now available on SACD from Analogue Productions. The surround sound program on the Doors SACDs comes from the original 96K, 24-bit files mixed and mastered by Bruce Botnick for the DVD Audio Doors/Perception release. Those mixes were made from the original one-inch, eight track, 15 i.p.s. analog master tapes. For the SACDs, the mixes were then up-sampled without filters to DSD using the Weiss Saracon format converter and authored by Gus Skinas at the Super Audio Center.
