AMON DUUL II ALERT!


ok kraut fans, here's another dose of tripped out hysteria from those whacky germans AMON DUUL II. this is my second favorite of their albums "Wolf City." why not post my favorite, "Yeti?" simple. you can find that on a million other blogs, but i have yet to see this one anywhere. this is their third album, and they had finely tuned themselves. gone are the long sprawling jams (which is actually a downside) but they replaced that with a folkier edge and a more experimental breadth. they were truly hitting their stride as a band, and i really think that this one and Yeti can be interchanged in my top spot. an incredible album all around, and definitely one for fans of the Kraut sound, prog rock, and pink floyd (they definitely tread into the early 70's floyd territory here.)


great album.

i agree that this is a great album, in fact it is one of my favourites too. but i have to correct you: it's their fifth record already, nr. 3 was the double lp "tanz der lemminge = dance of the lemmings", nr. 4 was "carnival in babylon", that is in my opinion even better.
