The Doors is my all-time favourite band. When I purchased my Axiom system, I wanted to experience The Doors in a new way. I promised myself that I would refrain from listening to any of their works until I had DPLII or Neo6 dialed in to my satisfaction. So today, I finally hit on the right settings for DPLII and decided to throw on their "Best of" CD set.

After listening to "Break on Through", I was riveted to my seat getting up only to experience the second CD. By the time Riders on the Storm finished, I was overcome with emotion. Never before had I been so immersed in that song until now. The storm enveloped me on all sides and washed down on me from above while Manzarek attacked his keyboards in a staccato fashion on the front left and Morrison weaved his shamanic magic in the centre. On the right, Densmore drummed up a punctuating dialogue with Jim's cryptic lyrics. And between my right side and rear QS8s, Krieger oozed out slow, melted Flamenco notes as if he was shaking them from a slow motion guitar. Once in a while, Manzarek appeared towards the rear left to weave his notes amongst the rain and Krieger popped in between my right M80 and side QS8 to let a few more bars spill from his guitar.

Alan Lofft is right in saying that you can re-discover all your music with simulated surround...and Axioms of course .

but where was the thunder?

You must have been squirming like a toad not being able to hear your favorite band for so long.

The Doors.........one of my most favorites as well.

Don't forget to play "LA Woman", if you have not already.

SRV lived again one more time tonight through my Sammy and Epic 80-600.

Johnny Winter, Hot White Blues.

I guess Feist is on Conan tonight, so I know where I'll be.

SRV, Gone Home...

ABBA right now, hey what can I say I like them.
