I feel compelled to agree with James Unger that this work represents an absolute
milestone in progressive psychedelic music. The band is in the grips of an
overwhelming psychedelic possession culminating in this, their finest and most
challenging recording. The musicianship is akin to an urgent and neuron shattering
explosion through inner space. To me, this might be the pinnacle of kraut rock,
pillaging the celestial spheres with manic textures and sonic explorations. Whereas
a band like Pink Floyd would let their psychedelic explorations evolve as a natural
consequence of a particular mood or setting, Amon Duul II at their peak were a more
furious band where someone might have the impression that they had completely
succumbed to the mind altering substance and were flailing and writhing in their drug
induced torture. Simply an astounding performance!
