History
Amon Düül II made some of the wildest, most tribal music in early German rock: long improvised pieces driven by pounding drums and hand percussion, fuzzed and droning guitars, violin, and Renate Knaup's unearthly voice. The band grew out of the Amon Düül commune in Munich in the late 1960s, splitting from the more political, loosely organised original group to focus on music. Their debut Phallus Dei in 1969 set out the approach: a sprawling title track full of chanting, feedback and sudden shifts. The double album Yeti in 1970 is often named as their high point, combining heavy psychedelic songs with extended jams, and Tanz der Lemminge in 1971 took the suites even further, into strange, drifting passages. Guitarists Chris Karrer and John Weinzierl and drummer Peter Leopold were central to that sound. Amon Düül II helped establish what outsiders came to call krautrock, and their influence can be heard across later psychedelic and space rock. What stays with a listener is the mix of heaviness, mysticism and communal chaos.
