Strange Days is an album released by The Doors at the end of 1967. This album is considered by some to be among the best works of the band. This concept album contains songs such as "Strange Days", "People Are Strange, "Love Me Two Times" and "When the Music's Over". This last track is a kind of long epic poem that could be compared to the famous "The End".
The album also includes "Moonlight Drive", which was one of the first songs written by Jim Morrison for The Doors. The song was recorded in 1965 (demo) and 1966 (intended for their first album). In 1967, a final version was recorded and released on the album Strange Days.
The mystical and mysterious atmosphere that springs out of this album is often compared to the sound of Carmina Burana.

Strange Days (1995)
Strange Days (USA) is also the title of a 1995 science fiction film directed by Kathryn Bigelow and produced and written by James Cameron. It stars Ralph Fiennes, Angela Basset, Juliette Lewis, Tom Sizemore, Michael Wincott, and Vincent D'Onofrio.
The film takes place on the eve of the millennium (December 31, 1999) in Los Angeles, and centers on the story of Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes), an ex-cop who peddles the "drug of the future," virtual reality. The film is notable for its extended P.O.V. (point of view) shots used in the virtual reality sequences that required Bigelow's team to create entirely new, light-weight 35mm cameras.
