1972 Psychedelic Progressive KRAUTROCK CLASSIC in CLEAN condition
AMON DUUL II
CARNIVAL IN BABYLON
\ USA - United Artists - UAS 5586
Playing very enjoyably nice....original 1972 first pressing vinyl in lucious art designed thick gatefold cover by the illuminous, illustrious, & allusionary AMON DUUL II....the psychedelic Kraut crew who turned more than a few on in the early 70's...
There is something truly memorizing in the works of AMON DUUL II who managed to release some fantastic early 70's albums. Literally wedged somewhere between the darker psychedelic 60's and the progressive underground German 70's AMON DUUL II emerged as the genre pioneers. "Carnival In Babylon" is a very trippy and evocative album full of allusions to PINK FLOYD and HAWKWIND and a ton of originality. I flip this album personally interchangeably with "Wolf City" and really find this to be the musical companion. As you would expect this album is full of creativity and progressive originality and if you listen real carefully you will hear things you have not ever before. "Carnival In Babylon" smells of flowers, peace and drugs influences. The folk side of the band is very suitable in these stoned epic / short rock suites. The long improvised, psychedelic instrumentals are properly neglected in favour of rather peaceful ballads sung by the lovely lady vocalist Renate Knaupp. Dominated by delicious musical parts of the two guitarists and gentle vocal melodies, 'Carnival..." deserves a top mark in the career of Amon Duul II, showing to the public an other side of their music, less experimental and complex but a nice and efficient psych/ folk rock music. Germany's answer to Jefferson Airplane in their prime gone progressive.
