Amon Düül II

Musical Group

German krautrock group formed from the Amon Düül commune in Munich around 1969, known for psychedelic, experimental and progressive albums such as Phallus Dei, Yeti and Tanz der Lemminge.

Originated from a Munich anarchist-freak commune; split produced Amon Düül II (the more musically focused faction). Key early albums widely regarded as krautrock milestones include Phallus Dei (1969), Yeti (1970) and Tanz der Lemminge (1971). Notable contributors mentioned in reviews include Renate Knaup, Chris Karrer, John Weinzierl, Falk-U. Rogner, Peter Leopold, Lothar Meid and Dave Anderson.

DeBaser reviews praise Amon Düül II's early trilogy (Phallus Dei, Yeti, Tanz der Lemminge) as krautrock landmarks. Reviewers note heavy percussion, improvisation, and Renate Knaup's striking vocals. Later albums show more structure and accessibility.

For:Fans of krautrock, psychedelic and progressive rock; music collectors and curious listeners of 1970s experimental music.

 Amon Düül II. Eh, not easy to talk about. A huge, multicolored, shapeshifting, indefinable, free group. Virulently free.

 “Phallus Dei” or the Dick of God. This album is an endless acid trip that seems played by Jefferson Airplane on a bad LSD trip.
