The second album by Amon Dnnl II (not to be confused with the more anarchic radicals Amon Dnnl), 1970s Yeti is their first masterpiece, one of the defining early albums of Krautrock. A double album on vinyl (most CD issues have squeezed the two discs onto one CD by cutting three minutes out of "Pale Gallery"; the Captain Trips CD restores it to its full five-minute length), Yeti consists of a set of structured songs and a second disc of improvisations. It's testament to the group's flui   [ read more ]

There aren't many double art rock albums from the early '70s that have stood the test of time, but then again, there aren't many albums like Tanz Der Lemminge, and there certainly aren't many groups like Amon Dnnl II.

Amon Dnnl II's fifth studio album is a more conventional recording than most, though there's still a lot of the involved experimenting and dark undercurrent which sets the band apart from the mainstream, along with the off-kilter hooks and odd humor which saved them from being lumped alongside more serious (and less easy to take seriously) prog rock outfits. After the lengthy explorations of Tanz der Lemminge, Wolf City seems targeted to an extent at a commercial English-speaking audience, perha   [ read more ]
