AMON DÜÜL II: ALMOST ALIVE...AND LOOKING FINE
The music on Almost Alive... is a concoction of prog, disco and spacey interludes, mainly thanks to the wonderful keyboards present. Apart from that aspect, the music really shows the immense talent of the band. They are highly competent musicians able to transform and enter other realms and doing so in a splendid way. There is a majestic and sometimes otherwordly feel to it all. It is a product of the determination and drive to perform, evolve and change. That is truly progressive and while this album certainly isn't hard to chew and digest it holds plenty of progressive flavor.
