Infected Mushroom presents: The Doors Remixed (1997)


I'm not sure if this album was released, or if it's just a treat for fans, or something else. I do know, however, that it shows the many similarities between the 1960s psychedelic rock and today's electronic music scene, both in terms of music and ideas.

When Jim Morrison sings much higher, in the famous hit Light My Fire, in this version he repeats it: higher, higher, higher, spiralling and fading out until we notice how explicitly The Doors talked about drugs.

To anyone bitching about how the DJs messed up with holy old music (as if "classic rock" wasn't an oxymoron), check this video where Jim Morrison predicts the future of music:

"I can kind of envision one person with a lot of machines, tapes and electronics set up, singing or speaking while using machines”
