Strange Days
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Work
Strange Days is the second album by the Doors and was released on 25 September 1967 on Elektra Records, eight months after the debut. Recording ran in breaks between tours from February to August 1967 at Sunset Sound Recorders in Hollywood. Producer Paul A. Rothchild and sound engineer Bruce Botnick used a then new 8-track recorder and tried out all kinds of new recording techniques.
You can hear that in the instruments: from marimba to Moog synthesizer, one of the first times it was heard in rock. For Horse Latitudes, Botnick turned a tape recorder by hand to get a wind-like sound, while the band members played their instruments in unusual ways. The album closes with the eleven-minute When the Music's Over. It sold less than the debut, but the reactions were positive. One critic called it the group's own best-regarded work.
