MADE IN GERMANY

This lp is often spoken of as one of the worst by the legendary krautrock band AMON DUUL II.But,I feel that the critics have been a bit to harsh in judging this release. This was the first album by these guys (and girl) that I ever ran across.Curious and not sure what to expect I played the lp and was surprised by the range and styles displayed by the band.The music here is of a more pop sound.FM radio friendly krautrock?I now know that this lp is a U.S. release which contains about half of the material of the German version of this one.All in all,still a good lp.The trick is to not try and compare it to other AMON DULL II releases.Some of the early lps are brimming over which churning pyschedelic sounds.Many sound more British than German.This sounds German.Favorite cuts include LOOSEY GIRLS,METROPOLIS and MR. KRAUT'S JINX.
