The Doors L' America

A piece that identifies a group that didn't play genres but a genre of their own. Here they put to rest all the future underground dark and who knows what else.

On March 11 - it should be the 11th - Jim lands in Paris to meet Pamela. After a few days spent at the luxurious George V, Jim wants something quieter, more intimate, isolated. Rue de Beautreilles, at the home of Zozo Lariviere, a model - a stunning beauty - friend of Pam. Jim loves Le Marais, St Germain, that Rive Gauche. Le Deux Magots, especially Place des Vosges where he would sit and write or drink... or both. His health was not at its "best"...

As a "scholar" of Jim, particularly Parisian for obvious logistical and personal reasons, I have always been "amazed" by all the stories about this period of his life. Keep in mind that he stayed just over 100 days before dying, including trips to Morocco and Corsica.
If you read a bit, it seems he was around much longer...
The power of Morrison... or his death... and that of many who wanted to share their views. In reality, very few of us truly knew him... 3 or 4 people. Of course, everything he did is exaggerated - euphemism - and he naturally draws attention, let's say that.
 
Skids - Arena
My favorite from the album along with Circus game.
 
Paper Charms My favorite by PFM, audaciously international, with an extra Lanzetti that makes a difference, both for his powerful and charismatic vocals—this chapmanian disciple—and for the singing in English.
 
The Margin Of Sanity - Get What I Can

In the heart of the Eighties, Andy Smith and his cousin Adam are two teenagers obsessed with Sixties music. They are present at every Cannibals and Mighty Cæsars concert, dressed in perfect mod style, fiddling with a guitar and bass, trying to recreate the mood of bands like Pretty Things, Missing Links, and Them. Riding that wave of enthusiasm, they form a band and even manage to release a limited edition record.

Then, while the enthusiasm remains unchanged, the conditions shift, and the two give birth to the Mistreaters, another flash in the pan that lasted for a season and is documented by a single, formidable release. Later, swept away by the baggy wave, they will dive into the disastrous adventure of the Sidewinders.

But what we recount here is that magnificent polaroid published in 1987, which remains the only testimony of that season: those unique six songs that constitute the dossier of Margin of Sanity's passage through the Greenwich sundial. The record is one of the best English garage productions of the period, overflowing with an uncompromising attitude toward modernity, stubborn and tenacious in recreating that exasperating, brutal amalgam of trivial melody and frantic rhythm that characterized the great pioneers of Sixties punk.

The masterpieces are titled Narrowminded People and Get Yourself ‘Round Here, placed at the end of each side. A swirling garage sound with an explosive drumbeat and an endless sequence of guitar licks providing a backdrop to a voice reminiscent of a young Luca Re in the first, a classic white R 'n' B number in the style of the early Rolling Stones that does not betray the twenty years separating them from their forebears in the second. But extraordinary are also the electric whirlwind of Get What I Can, which seems to blend all the Texan sound of the Sixties into a single vortex of reverbs and shimmering effects, and What’s the Use of Trying?, a frenzied number in the style of The Remains with guitars that, on the contrary, are clear and sparkling.

A single record to testify to their faith in Sixties sound without compromise. Without kicking and screaming for a place in history, content to have one in the hearts and memories of enthusiasts.
