PSYCHEDELIC MASTERPIECE!
AMON DÜÜL II
Phallus Dei
ENGLAND - Sunset - SLS 50257
TOP COPY
SCARCE 1972 British release with unique laminated cover design found only on this pressing - gotten quite scarce, then again, it's 40 years old...Sunset Records bought the rights for the release some 3 years after the ('69) German issue of the very first Amon Duul II album, a terrific mix of weaving electric psych-rock, as good as it gets.
Furiously surging, ebbing and flowing, the music of the mighty PHALLUS DEI combines elements of garage rock, avant-garde, psychedelia, and just plain all-out weirdness. All the lyrics are in German but it doesn't matter; what matters is that you will be swept away. This band should be ranked far above most of their American psych contemporaries. Truly psychedelic music, not for the faint of heart. At the first seconds of "Kanaan", the first track, we can delight with a full-bodied sound, as listening the panic male voice at the entrance, telling us that something really creepy is gone happen...the "four" tribal minutes of "Kanaan" are a dazzling musical experience and the summoning of all powers of this innovative german group.Second and third tracks, "Dem Guten, Schönen, Wahren" and "Luzifers Ghilom" are that kind of Amon Düül II status, something between humor and terror, a kind of new ethnic chanting with hypnotic rhythms...there's a gloomy waltz at the end of "Dem Guten..." introducing the next track, menacing drums and almost-hindu chants, again a lot of nasty chorus, a desperate violin.
"Henriette Krötenschwanz", the 2 minute fourth track, is a little lighter tune, in fact is a march of some kind, here fem singer Renate is trying to emulate some kind of witch...
"Phallus dei", the last track of this psychedelic masterpiece, is a extended magnific jam-session, divided into various movements, always getting the trance way...it's quite extraordinary the middle-section, a madness of bongos and turkish drums side-by-side with savage screams. - Peter Leopold / drums, percussion, piano
