Amon Duul II, "Tanz Der Lemminge" CD
$10.00
Description
"1971's Tanz der Lemminge (Dance of the Lemmings) was the band's third album, and though they'd already taken the pedal off the spacy, overdriven metal a bit, it's still a sight removed from the pop charts. By that point, only Karrer, John Weinzierl (guitar), Lothar Meid (bass), Falk Rogner (organ) and Peter Leopold (drums) remained from the original group (plus a few guests), though that didn't stop them from filling up their second double LP in a row. The sound is something like old school Jethro Tull (uh-huh, though sans-flute) with so many odd sonic detours as to make the prospect of not one, not two, but three full-grown, epic-length goth-prog tunes (and some group improv to boot) not as daunting as it could be. And for the record, this stuff rocks the haus."
