Especially the first track is oustandingThumbs%20Up
 
I am going to try next ....Meeting with Menmachines! What's your opinion, Hawk?/Tongue


Ewwwww  not realy given it a good listen in a long while , what i would say its not very Amon Duul 2
i Marcus Leid is a nice track  also  Burundi Drummer's Nightmare a bit different , Julie Waring is no Renate
but pleasant enough, there a good review here >>>>>http://wcpaebelectricflower.blogspot.com/2008/07/amon-dl-uk-meetings-with-menmachines.html  if your big collector of Music  which think you are then its worth having in yer collection its got some nice Moments but not as good as HAWK MEETS PENGUIN
 
Thanks for comments, Hawk!Wink
What about DIE LOSUNg and FOOL MOON??

As a point of special interest to Amon Duul 2 fans in the USA, the band's landmark concept album 'Made In Gemany' , touted as the first German Rock Opera, is now made available in its original complete form (the DBL LP was only released in the US as a single album with different cover art).



I thought they already reissued many of these albums on SPV Records over the last couple of years???

Not in re-mastered versions though.
 
Hummmmh! i just got the last 3 digipacks AD2..Almost, Only Human and Vortex.....from SPV...revisited!
It is mentioned in the liner noted that they have been remastered and remixed......
The sound is crystal clear!!
 
I am happily surprised by the overall musical quality of VORTEX....and great bonus tracks like on every AD2 re-release

"Burundi Drummer's Nightmare" is the outstanding track on "Meetings With Men Machines"; the rest is only so-so. but for that track alone the album is worth the money.
as to "Hawk Meets Penguin": I wrote a four star review of that album

Hi,

Not sure that I understand the need, yet again, for these reissues.
I'm sure that these couldn't possibly beat those remastered by EROC
that were released back in '02 on Repertoire. Nice to see the possibility of
a tour tho. Seemed better than I expected on a recent ('05) DVD and
the Wuppertal performance from April '03 seemed decent as well,
so there's hope!

Just visited the InsideOut site and it does state that those versions are remastered
