@Staticnz i just listened to highjack and it's surprisingly diverse and solid..a more mature effort.and made in germany sounds like 60s pop psych....so its hard to believe that this was made the same year becauase it's a bit on the blande side.....but then i heard something on youtube from after this that was spacey.........who knows what they were thinking.
@moonlitemile61 1976 was the year Starcastle arrived and shifted things back toward an ultimate direction! This sounds like Elton John and Keke Dee by comparison... sounds like Dr John joined w/ Mountain. Not my cup of sourkraut and sauce... prob a bad 1st taste of this band that, till now, I'd only read about.
people. who don´t know history of amon düül maybe skip this immediately.
of course i didn´t like it in 76, but today i understand, why they tried to make things like that. it was an attempt and don´t take it too serious. south germany in the late 70s was a diaspora.
@Staticnz totally right!!!!!

Yes this video is bad, but 1976 was bad. thats why we had to have a change in musical direction. Thank god for new wave!
I love duul though, . I played archangel to myself the other day, and was blown away at how timeless and modern sounding that band were!!

I can't believe the band that made Yeti went on to produce this...

Of course...they look terrible. Horrible image and fashion sense.
But I'd never seen them before, only listened to the albums, so that doesn't matter to me.
np - Cappaccino... c'mon it's an awesome song! So is Flower Of The Orient and Lost In Space.
Maybe I'm just nuts.
