Formation
After the release of their first album Phallus Dei Amon Düül II was succeeded in negotiations with the record company for the successor to enforce a double album.
" Since the majority uprising was made , the record company reingeröngt a double LP. Spooky! "
The recordings took place in January 1970. On the piece of Sandoz in the Rain had musicians with the first formation of Amon Düül for old times' sake. The Swiss company Sandoz LSD had produced tried to complain against this item.
Style and reception
The first disc of the double album contains seven pieces composed, including the 13 -minute suite Soap Shop skirt with her alternating between lyrical, contemplative passages, and more powerful, resonant charged to the early work of King Crimson A .. The second disc contains three improvised pieces, of which the shocker Sandoz in the Rain by Stewart Mason ( Allmusic ) can be regarded as the birth of the space rock. Allmusic gave the album four and a half in its assessment of a possible five stars. Ingeborg Schober praises in her book on Amon Düül the texts in which the absurd and the Ancient was spun with fine humor and thinks Archangels Thunderbird would certainly have been hit chance if it would not just appeared in Germany ..
