KRAUTROCK TOP#1 : AMON DÜÜL II, Yeti (1970)


My "second best choice" is the famous second album by AMON DÜÜL II, maybe my favourite krautrock band.
For krautrock beginners who listen to CAN or NEU and consider their music as the only true krautrock style, this extraordinary psych out album may be hard to accept. "Yeti" is more than 1 hour of a tremendous adventure in music, plenty of effects, electric and organic sounds, craziness in the instruments and voices. There is the major 70s hit called "Archangel Thunderbird", the proto-metal riff based (and 1'40 short) "Return of Ruebezahl" - a very promissing title! - and the typically long krautrock track and extraordinary well composed / improvised "Yeti" suite.
I confess that the 1st time I've heard it, it seemed to sound a little too "70s hard rock", but believe me, insist a little more, you won't regret it.
Find it here, ripped at 192kbps, and don't hesitate to buy it - I recommend the Repertoire digipack re-edition that has been beautifully remastered (for once you hear what "remastered" means), with an early and superb 2 sides single as bonus tracks (not in the files I share).

On my side, it is working. If you have a PC, be aware you don't have to open the "_MacOS" folder but the "Amon Du¦êu¦êl II" one.

I agree fully with this being #1, but I've gotta complain a bit: no Witthuser & Westrupp "Trips n Traume"? no Popol Vuh "Letzte Tage, Letzte Nachte"?? but thanks so much for all this great stuff!
