AMON DÜÜL II: TANZ DER LEMMINGE
Outside of Germany, this album is known as "Dance Of The Lemmings". This third album finds these Krautrock pioneers at the top of their game, as far as experimentation goes. Like the previous album, this consists of one disc of composed tracks and another of improvisations. More densely-packed with musical ideas and talented musicianship than any previous Amon Düül album, this may just be their finest work.
