EASTERN LACED PROG PSYCH BEHEMOTH!
Original 1973 GERMAN:
Amon Düül II
WOLF CITY
\ - GERMAN - UNITED ARTISTS - UAG 29406
Original 1973 GERMAN first pressing vinyl in gatefold cover ... one of the greatest Kraut-psych collectible llaced with groovy Eastern embelishments...here's what's in store:
Lofty east Indian influences dominate Amon Duul II`s entrancing fifth album. Stranded in a mystical locale called Wolf City and still waiting for the train out of the sixties, Wolf City abounds with ancient environs and plenty of strange psychedelic electronic effects from guitars being played with bows to tablas, sitars, angry reeds and environmental sound effects. You can almost smell the incense burning on this love in.
Although the band had pretty much ditched it`s penchant for extended out-of-control freakouts by the previous Carnival In Babylon album, the music on Wolf City commands an airy buoyancy throughout and combined with efxceptional anologue production makes the original album seem longer than it really is .So it`s a bit of a pity that some of the fade-outs weren`t allowed to develop into their full potential as extennded tracks. Renate Kanup becomes a star once again on the title track, the acid drenched Green Bubble Raincoated Man and the trippy psuedo-pop track Surounded By The Stars which nods back to the earlier Phallus Dei / Yeti freakout era with a short improv section which was cut out of the single release. The bulldozing Deutsch Nepal adds a bizarre touch he here with it`s gothic barrage of overdriven synths and organs which demonstrate just how devastatingly ahead of their time they were even if the rest of the album seems stuck in a time warp sometime in 1968.
One of Amon Duul IIs best albums that would still hold appeal for the fans of their freakout era and certainly the best produced Amon Duul II up to `73, Wolf City headphones cranked to eleven are definitely in order for this early 70s jewel.
