DISASTER / LÜÜD NOMA

AMON DUUL were one of the first Krautrock bands to come out of late sixties Germany. They were like this commune of drugged out hippies who also tried to make some music along the way. Of their five studio albums, four came from the same sessions including this one. You talk about milking a session to death. These sessions were from late 1968 or early 1969. No one remembers. The guys and some girlfriends are all banging on something, with acoustic guitar and vocals also being part of the sound and not much else

If the music itself wasn't bad enough, the sound quality only makes things worse. And naming this "Disaster" could not have been more appropriate. And while I had a glimmer of hope during that very first spin with the opener. That glimmer vanished quickly as this played out for a painful 67 minutes. It's just gets annoying very quickly to hear all this banging and not much else.

This is one of those purchases that I really regret. I'm still kicking myself for not just being content with the one good record they did make in "Paradieswarts Duul" with a different lineup and three significant guests. Two from AMON DUUL II and Hansi from XOHL CARAVAN and later with EMBRYO and more.

Barely 2 stars for this one and a waste of time and money.
