Amon Duul II
This Munich-based musical commune released several albums as simply Amon
Duul during the sixties before adding the suffix 'II' in
1969 for their first international major label release, Phallus Dei
("God's penis").
They represent an almost Prog Rock element of the German music scene,
displayed clearly on disc one of their second album album Yeti (1970)
in concise rock tracks, notably the fuzzed-out Eyeshaking King
and Archangels Thunderbird with powerful female vocalist Renate
in top form. On disc two they stretch out with trippy improvisations
featuring walls of feedback and largely intuitive time changes.
By 1977's Almost Alive the band were producing syrupy, near
MOR fare a million miles removed from the brain-scrambling Yeti.
