12 chapters about one of the greatest albums in Rock history: The Doors' "Strange Days" (September 1967). Packed with details and insights (more than 180 footnotes), "The Doors Through Strange Days" presents the arrangements, instrumentation, techniques, sound effects, and structure of all the LP's songs. Not forgetting the deep meaning of the lyrics and the interplay between words and music. All instruments and sounds were "deciphered" (in some cases for the first time) with the help of professional musicians. In addition, within each chapter you'll find listening suggestions to specific parts of the songs to supplement the reading. The book follows the evolution of this historic record from its conception to its lesser-known passages, using evocative images and metaphors. The reader will gain access to an unprecedented experience of "Strange Days," discovering its secrets, intensely experiencing its emotions and listening to it in a far more conscious and satisfying way.
