The Doors

An American Prayer es el noveno y último álbum de estudio de la banda The Doors. En 1978, seis años después de que la agrupación se separara, los miembros que seguían vivos se reunieron y grabaron música para acompañar los poemas de Jim Morrison, que habían sido registrados anteriormente en una sesión de 1970.Las letras son semi-autobiográficas y a veces proféticas, incluyendo desde críticas de la época hasta visiones de la vida después de la muerte.Su único sencillo fue una versión en concierto del clásico Roadhouse Blues, hasta entonces inédita. Fue lanzado a principios de 1979.

Lovage

Nathaniel Merriweather Presents... Lovage: Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By is the 2001 debut and so far only album of Lovage. Lovage is a studio supergroup featuring Dan the Automator producing, Mike Patton and Jennifer Charles on vocals, Kid Koala on the turntables, Brandon Arnovick (as Astacio the Nudist) on guitar, Daniels Spills on keyboards and SweetP on harpsichord & noseflute. Dan the Automator provides trip hop beats while the vocals mostly consist of Mike Patton and Jennifer Charles engaging in sultry and provocative dialogue. Nevertheless, the overall tone of the album is tongue-in-cheek. The album cover is an homage to Serge Gainsbourg's second album. The song "Sex (I'm A)" was originally written and performed by 1980s New Wave band Berlin. The Lovage version differs significantly from the original. The album features many references to Alfred Hitchcock, most notably the titles of the songs "To Catch a Thief", "Lifeboat", and "Strangers on a Train", which were all named after the movies, and contain re-dubbed excerpts. The album title itself also refers to an album Hitchcock appeared on in 1956 titled Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Music to Be Murdered By. An instrumental version of the album has also been published.
