AMON DÜÜL II: VORTEX
Three years after audiences left them for dead, Amon Düül II return with a surprisingly vital reformation effort in Vortex. Cool folk instrumentations, solid rock structures with nice electric guitar sections and dense sax parts. A rather inegal effort but there's some convincing reminiscences of fundamental sonorities which have made the band's originality.
