The Crack In The Cosmic Egg:
The original Munich commune group, formed in 1967, Amon Düül
were not your normal outfit of political activists or hippies, they were much
more than that. Living together, they were constantly attempting to create or
explore new genres in music. Psychedelic drugs, free-love, and a shared
community were all factors, as was the new psychedelic music from Britain and
the USA, especially so Hapshash & The Coloured Coat. Inevitably, due to
political and musical differences, tempers got frayed and just before a
legendary concert they split into two separate bands. Founder members, including
Chris Karrer and others, went on to front the internationally successful Amon
Düül II.
In sharp contrast, the original Amon Düül (who were more
concerned with being politically active) recorded on very few occasions. A great
part of their work was all recorded during the very same early sessions in 1969
within a matter of days. Typical of commune bands, Amon Düül were often quite
wild and free-form. They played a high-energy bare-bones aggressive rock that
was totally over-the-top in the percussion department, with raw grating guitars
and wailing vocals. Their debut AMON DÜÜL (originally untitled, but generally
referred to as "PSYCHEDELIC UNDERGROUND") and its follow-up COLLAPSING:
SINGVÖGEL RÜCKWÄRTS & CO., both also displayed an eccentric use of studio
effects, sound manipulation and sonic gags (like jumps, stuck-grooves,
scratches, etc.), which gained them a curious notoriety. A total of four albums
(two of them double LP's) were eventually released from those early sessions,
and all are essential listening for fans of aggressive 60's rock.
The later incarnation (which grew out of an association with
the "Berlin Commune 1") were different, and only recorded one album and a
single. Still a touch hippy-political in concept the album PARA DIESWÄRTS DÜÜL
was a more relaxed, albeit unusual, folky rock with the accent on multiple
guitars, featuring lengthy improvised instrumental sections, closer to
Quintessence or Popol Vuh, yet still quite unique. Members of this version of
the band also guested on the similarly styled "Sandoz In The Rain" on Amon Düül
II's YETI. The actual history of this incarnation of Amon Düül is virtually
undocumented, though we do know that Karl-Heinz Hausmann of the "Berlin Commune
1" passed through and followed Peter Leopold to Amon Düül II. They also played
live quite extensively when based in Berlin, and even Klaus Schulze is reputed
to have played in concert with them!
