 The wolf may have lost some of its hair but certainly not its habit!

 'Wolf City' represents the most 'mature' album of Düül, balancing melodic lines with psychedelic harshness.

The review highlights Amon Düül II's evolution from wild psychedelia to a more controlled and melodic style in 'Wolf City.' While some early fans might view this shift as a departure, the album represents a mature and accessible krautrock experience. Despite not reaching earlier peaks, 'Wolf City' offers a delicate balance of melody and past psychedelic intensity. The presence of singer Renate Knaup enriches this phase, making the album a worthwhile listen for newcomers and fans alike. Listen to Amon Düül II's 'Wolf City' to experience a unique blend of mature psychedelia and krautrock innovation!

 Times New Viking have laid one of the 'milestones' of this movement.

 It's only rock n roll but I like it.

The review highlights Times New Viking's album Dig Yourself as a significant yet raw lo-fi record within the short-lived shitgaze genre. The band combines simple pop melodies with heavy distortion and noise, standing out due to their compositional skill and notable punk and indie influences. Although not revolutionary, the album offers a compelling listen for fans of noise and garage rock. The reviewer notes the band’s later shift towards a cleaner sound, making this album a unique rough gem. Dive into Times New Viking’s Dig Yourself and experience a raw, noisy milestone in indie punk’s underground legacy!

 Don Rosa, with true historical rigor, reconstructed a sort of 'official chronology' of the 'Duck' family.

 Raw and instinctive music that goes straight to the gut, to be blasted at full volume while cruising around or dancing.

 The true essence of the garage verb is to be found in compilations and in the anonymity of countless basement bands.

The reviewer explores a fresh appreciation for simple, raw garage rock through the Pebbles Vol.1 compilation. Highlighting the album's blend of post-rockabilly, proto-punk, and pre-psychedelia, they celebrate its instinctive energy and underground roots. Pebbles Vol.1 serves as an accessible gateway to a genre often overshadowed by more elaborate sounds. The compilation is praised for its authenticity and ability to evoke movement and fun. Dive into Pebbles Vol.1 and experience the raw power of garage rock—play it loud and feel the underground vibe!

 Cope writes first and foremost as a lover of the scene and with a very informal and personal style.

 I had a lot of fun reading this book, which flows smoothly, entertainingly, but at the same time also provided me with a lot of information.

The reviewer is newly discovering the music but finds much to enjoy. Dive into Julian Cope’s Japrocksampler and explore the fascinating world of Japanese rock music!

 This album did not achieve the same feat of shaking up my musical existence.

 What Cope hails as rough and anarchic rock... reveals itself upon listening to be decent rock-blues, perhaps with a slightly rougher and freer spirit than average.

The review critiques Speed, Glue & Shinki's 'Eve' as an interesting but not groundbreaking album within Japrock. It highlights the band's rough rock-blues style influenced by drug culture, which was provocative for Japan at the time. While the album holds some raw appeal, it lacks the epochal impact of contemporaries like Flower Travellin’ Band. Listeners interested in Japanese rock or the era may appreciate it, but overall the review suggests moderate enthusiasm. Discover the raw spirit of 70s Japrock with Speed, Glue & Shinki's 'Eve' – listen now and explore a unique chapter in rock history!

 A kind of ultra-noise rock with psychedelic veins, to render the idea well take the Velvet Underground of Sister Ray, further decrease the melodic factor and increase the noise.

 For once you can really say: a thing beyond good and evil.

Les Rallizes Dénudés epitomize Japan's anarchic rock movement, emerging from militant student activism. Their musical approach combines psychedelic noise rock with intense distortion, often documented through unofficial live bootlegs.

 The Dead Skeletons show us the dark and untamed side of the Island, made of geysers, volcanoes and glaciers, atmospheres that bring us back to primordial chaos.

 The mind catapults us directly into the midst of Trolls performing their tribal dances and shamanic rites around the fire, immersed among the ghosts of frozen and desolate lands.

Dead Skeletons' debut album 'Dead Magick' immerses listeners in the dark, primal landscapes of Iceland through tribal and psychedelic sounds. Influenced by krautrock and Asian mysticism, it offers a hypnotic atmosphere distinct from Sigur Ros. The 73-minute length may test patience but fits psychedelic traditions.
