WOLF CITY

I have known of Amon Duul II for many years but never got around to buying any of their stuff. Thanks to this site I was motivated to go out and order this album. In terms of prog music personally outside of the UK, I would definitely favour Swedish, German and French next. Wolf City has not disappointed me at all and comes highly recommended.Ranate Knaup' vocals are strong and remind me of Jefferson Airplane or Babe Ruth a bit, much better though than Grace Slick's voice. The album as a whole is strong but for me it really gets going from ' Wolf City', 'Wie der Wind am Ende einer Strasse ' improves on this with the almost narrative vocal interludes.' Sleepwalker's Timeless Bridge' is the epic track of the album. Naturally Wolf City will act as a precursor to more from Amon Duul II. If you like a combination of a more psychedlic Babe Ruth/Tangerine dream combo and Krautrock you will not be disappointed with this group or Wolf City.
