'Other Voices' tell Doors' future
Review by
Tim Sindeiar
The Doors burst upon the
music scene in 1967, ushering
in psychedelic-rock with the
now-classic "Light My Fire."
While the group aptly
demonstrated a good deal of
musical talent on their first
album and their second,
Strange Days, the lead singer,
Jim Morrison came to
dominate the music.
Morrison's dynamic stage
appearance and strange lyrics
became chiefly responsible for
the group's rise to notoriety.
Unfortunately, for a period,
theatrics seemed to come first,
and music second.
L.A. Woman, an album
released last spring, redeemed
the Doors and re-established
their place as talented
musicians. And then, quite
unfortunately, Jim Morrison
died this summer.
WELL, THE DOORS, minus
Morrison, had been recording
at the time of his death, and
were able to continue on their
own. Other Voices, the Door's
first product without Morrison,
is a pleasant surprise. Parts of
the album hearken back to the
genius expressed on the
Strange Days album
Side 1 is undoubtedly the
best, and contains several great
cuts in succession. "In the Eye
of the Sun" starts off quite
promising, and doesn't
disappoint you. It's the Doors
for sure, and some of the riffs
are agonizingly familiar.
Robby Krieger puts down a
very entertaining guitar lead,
with John Densmore, drums
and Ray Manzarek, keyboards,
providing the necessary rhythm.
A new dimension has been
added to the Doors' music,
with a bass player added on all
cuts. In this case, the bass work
is done by Jack Conrad.
"VARIETY IS the Spice of
Life" is a nice little rocker, and
it's good to hear material like
this again from the Doors. It's
good-time music, simple but
sweet
"Ships with Sails" is
probably the best song on the
album and the prettiest song
the Doors have done. In this
case, they've added not only
electric bass, but acoustic bass
and percussion to achieve a
more complete sound.
Although there seems to be a
bit of Santana showing through
here, it has been done very
nicely with a pleasing result.
"Tightrope Ride" doesn't
quite finish the side like it
should. It's an attempt to get

moving, and could provide a
nice contrast to the mellowness
of "Ships with Sails", but it
doesn't quite get together.
SIDE 2, unfortunately,
doesn't stand up to Side 1.
"Down on the Farm" is a good
tune and fun, but that's about
it. "I'm Horny, I'm Stoned" is
almost a throw-away. There
seems to be a return to some of
the raunchiness found in some
old material here.
"Wandering Musician," for
all its six minutes, doesnjt
quite get anywhere. There's
The Free Theatre is having tryouts for a contemporary musical
version of Alice in Wonderland directed by Paul Baker Thursday
at 7 p.m., and Friday and Saturday at 1 p.m. at UMHE.
Co-sponsored by Kosmet Klub, tryouts are open to everyone.
A children's "sci-fi" opera, Help, Help, the Globolinks, will be
presented by School of Music students in Kimball Hall at 8 p.m.
Nov. 12 and 13, and at 3 p.m. Nov. 14.
Directed and designed by Dean Tschetter, the production
includes a cast of 30 adults and children and a large group of
Qobolinks. Special effects will be done by Insight Light Show,
Inc. The show will be the first opera performed in the midwest
using electronic sound along with standard orchestra
instrumentation.
The children's opera, written by Gian Carlo Menotti, reaches
into science fiction to find the earth being invaded by outer-space
dangerous creatures called Globolinks. Anyone touched by one of
the creatures loses his power of speech and turns into a
Globolink. No weapon is effective against the invaders, except
music.
The Balcony, Howell Theatre's first production this year, will
be presented on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Tickets are still
available.
Some upcoming concerts:
-Ten Years After and Mylon will be at Pershing Auditorium
Friday at 8 p.m. Seats are reserved, with tickets going for $3.50,

some nice music here, but it's
jumbled and confused. "Hang
on to Your Life" is a good deal
better and once again shows of
the talents of these three
musicians.
SIDE 1 IS very nice, and as
mentioned before, as good as
some of the Doors' best early
material. Some things on Side
2 we can do without, but then
again, it's listenable.
In total, Other Voices
means that we can continue to
hear good things from the
Doors.
