"Wolf City is probably the most popular and well known of all Amon Duul II albums; it’s also their most critically acclaimed one to boot.
This was the second LP released in the fruitful year of 1972, after Carnival In Babylon, and features the same structured way of song writing that almost leaves behind the improvised jams, found on the first three records, though there are still some occasional less scripted passages.
Made in the same year and with the same producer Olaf Kubler, Wolf City continues to lay down the folk influences but uses a rich tapestry of Indian sounds such as the tablas, sitar and tambura, all elements found on the seminal and exotic Yeti album. At times the sound finds the familiar Gothic horror that they’re renowned for, though it remains a quite uplifting record most of the time."
