LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Official 180g double LP vinyl reissue (not to be confused with the recent bootleg)

Originally released 1970 "Yeti" was the second album by AMON DÜÜL II and is quite a musical achievement.It contains some of AMON DÜÜL´s most impressive work, delivering their thick, full-fledged, multi-layered sound with dense instrumentation and a certain epic vastness... in many ways not unlike the craftmanship of early CAN. This is Krautrock in the full mass of its power: huge, towering, dark and completely devoid of any happy optimism, but still bound full of energy. Instrumentally this album is pure magic with some great psychy sitar´ish acoustic guitar plucking and hand percussion interplay. "Yeti" is abundant also in the fusion of electric guitar, bass and drum interplay. The 2nd album is totally devoted to improvisation and in itself stands up as some of the most intriguing music you will ever hear. The first few AMON DÜÜL II albums are essential bits of the psych/prog era. "
