Definitely. Not sure where to go after Can and ADII though, probably Neu! and some others like that.

Oooh, now this isn't bad actually.
It's bit of a flaky recording though. Spotify seem to have a vinyl rip.
Even Patrick may like this.

Five Suns, Black Oni and Elixirs are a triptych. It makes sense to play them in order.

I'll play them in whatever order I want.

Tell me what you think. You may even like Zeit and/or Atem more, or about the same, or less. I really don't know. For me all 4 are pretty good though.

Oh I know what this reminds me of... That time I borrowed a MicroKorg and made random noises on it. Right, it's getting a tad boring now... Now it's livened up a tad.

No problem! Glad you liked it.

Ah f**king hell... I'd written a long story about hearing USA before Larks' Tongues in Aspic and how the studio songs still feel pretty lame compared to their live counterparts still all these years later, but then I managed to erase the whole thing. But yeah, now that I'll probably end up buying Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair pretty soon, I fear that the same thing might happen with Absent Lovers and those albums, if AL is so much better as I remember you saying.
Surprisingly I much enjoyed the AL versions of Red and Larks II with the electronic drums and all

I've got a soft spot especially for the USA version of Exiles. The original is good too in it's delicacy, but the heavier, more flowing feel of the live version works so much better with me.

Well, not in the conventional/musical sense, I think. The Doors were essentially a roots rock/pop rock/blues rock (at different times) band which brought in half a million psychedelic elements but still kept very much in touch with the visceral essence of rock. I hadn't really thought of them as self-indulgent, for some reason, combining alcohol/drugs with rock music isn't self-indulgent , and The Doors aren't often particularly obtuse or difficult to understand.
