A pinnacle of progressive rock. More than four decades after its release, it remains a genre unto itself -- a mishmash of heavy and soothing, beautiful and unsettling, experimental and melodic.
Released in 1971, Amon Duul's only album for Ohr was a visionary slice of acid-folk, a magical mix of pastoral hippie vibes, stoned jams and ritualistic folk-rock. Includes the rare single-only tracks 'Paramechanical World'/'Eternal Flow' as bonus.
These two albums range from minimal electronic pulses, ambient dreamscapes, vocal collages to heavy drone, ritualistic percussion and psychedelic grooves.
After a 19-year hiatus, Duster came back with their S/T chef-d'oeuvre in 2019. Recorded in band member Clay Parton's garage, the record bears all the hallmarks of the band's work: spindly guitars, and melancholy lyrics that lurk in the background.
