Amon Düül II


Amon Düül II was one of the most influential krautrock conglomerations, with members constantly flowing in and out and branching into other groups and new musical territory. This particular period, around the release of Yeti (1970), turned out to be a seminal moment in the history of the group, marking the beginning of their underground success outside of Germany. The album shows a remarkable breadth of expression, from strange, trance-like moments of noise, constrained acoustic ragas and improvisations, to explosive, dirty, electric prog with slamming beats and tape effects.
