Amon Düül II Poll

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Up until (and including) "Vive la Trance!" all albums were great. "Hi Jack" could have been great too, but  I don't like some of the string arrangements. "Made in Germany" is a little underated, in my opinion; the lyrics alone are worth listening. "Pyragony X", "Almost Alive" and "Only Human" were more or less mainstream symphonic prog without the usual Amon Düül 2 madness. Not really bad, just nothing special. I recommend their 80s album "Vortex", in which at least some of the madness returns.

	Embarassed to say I never heard Phallus Dei, loved Yeti, was even more blown away by Tanz Der Lemminge, which I consider the best of the three I have heard (Wolf City being the other)
