Tanz der Lemminge (Dance of the Lemmings), released in 1971, was Amon Düül II’s third album. The musical emphasis is more on expansive arrangements and a generally gentler, acoustic or soft electric vibe; still an apocalyptic glam suite, from heavy guitar riffing to eastern European-sounding pastorals. Kosmische Musik, a groove record. Yeti and Phallus Dei are fiercer, but don't really cover the ground Lemminge does. It is an absolute milestone in progressive psychedelic music.





Note: Krautrock is a German avant-garde / experimental rock movement that emerged at the end of the 1960's. The term krautrock was originally a humorous one coined by the UK music press (such as New Musical Express and Melody Maker), where "krautrock" found an early and enthusiastic underground following.
Julian Cope, in his book Krautrocksampler, says "Krautrock is a subjective British phenomenon," based on the way the music was received in the UK rather than on the actual West German music scene out of which it grew. The term is also a problematic category due to the considerable differences between the artists so labelled.
Key artists associated with the tag include Can, Amon Düül II, Ash Ra Tempel, Faust, Popol Vuh, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Neu!, and Kraftwerk.
