AMON DÜÜL II: HIJACK
Hijack was a rather abrupt shift in direction for the band. This is a diluted Amon Düül II doing art-pop, folk, tango and whatever else that sounded cool to do at the time. Gone are the many colorful, psychedelic washes of brilliance and in their place is a more commercial, streamlined sound that still has some fragments of their previous brilliance.
