Like its namesake mythical creature, Amon Duul II's YETI is a gigantic, threatening, and elusive beast that will easily trample listeners underfoot. Following up the epic PHALLUS DEI, YETI finds the Krautrock offshoot codifying their terrifyingly feral improvisations across four album sides of loud, psychedelic excess and dotting the fried landscape with a loose songcraft. "Soap Shop Rock," the four-part album opener, features droning organ, grilled violin, the distorted guitar tandem of Chris Karrer and John Weinzierl, and the yowling arias of Miss Renate Knaup fighting for space, while "Cerebus" loosens the band's more acoustic and Eastern yearnings. The entire album remains one of Krautrock's heavy masterpieces, but above the froth looms "Archangels Thunderbird," an anthem of demented catchiness for the ages.
Digitally remastered edition of the second album by Amon Duul II and is quite a musical achievement. Originally this was a double vinyl album set and now has been released and remastered on 1 CD. "Yeti" includes some of Amon Duul's most impressive work, delivering their thick, full-fledged, multi-layered sound with dense instrumentation and a certain epic vastness in many ways not unlike the craftmanship of early Can. This is Krautrock in the full mass of its power: huge, towering, dark and completely devoid of any happy optimism, but still bound full of energy. Instrumentally this album is pure magic with some great psychy sitar'ish acoustic guitar plucking and hand percussion interplay. "Yeti" is abundant also in the fusion of electric guitar, bass and drum interplay. The 2nd album is totally devoted to improvisation and in itself stands up as some of the most intriguing music you will ever hear. The first few Amon Duul II albums are essential bits of the psych/prog era.Spin (9/01, p.134) - Included in Spin's "5 Essential Krautrock Records" - "...A bluesless Led Zep. This sprawling 1970 masterwork is half ultra-heavy psychedelic riffology, half tender, rambling improv."
Q (Magazine) (p.141) - "[A] double album brimming with ideas and influences from free jazz to Pink Floyd, occasionally endowed with a hard-rock punch..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.153) - "[T]hey stretch out with trippy improvisations featuring walls of feedback and largely intuitive time-changes." Amon Duul Yeti Songs | 1. | Soap Shop Rock |

Yeti album
 $15.19 
The post-psychedelic German phenomenon known as Krautrock pretty much starts here. The 1969 release PHALLUS DEI was the first album by Amon Duul II, who had split off from the more shambling, hippie-type communal outfit Amon Duul. The former had a darker, edgier spirit, and a greater sense of direction. That's not to say everything on PHALLUS DEI is tied up in a neat little package; it's a raw, bursting-at-the-seams sonic attack fully capable of melting ears at a thousand paces.
Like their Krautrock contemporaries, Amon Duul II were influenced by the psychedelic sounds of ...
| | Amon Duul Tanz Der Lemminge CD (1971) Bonus Track
Yeti CD music
$22.09 
German art-hippie communards Amon Duul II were among the Krautrock genre's most unusual propositions. Less doggedly motorik in their approach than contemporaries Neu! and Harmonia, less self-consciously arty than groups like Faust and Can, their acid-drenched brand of psych-rock combined a wildly primitive streak with sophisticated prog-like arrangements. TANZ DER LEMMINGE, a brain-melting, epic double album set from 1971, stands as a definite statement of the group's early sound. Toning down the doom-laden ...
| | Steve Hillage Fish Rising CD (1975) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Yeti music CDs
$9.29 
After departing Gong in 1975, Steve Hillage followed the same route as everyone else, by making a solo album. He enlisted some Gong colleagues -- bassist Mike Howlett, saxophonist Didier Malherbe, and drummer Pierre Moerlen -- and augmented them with others from his Canterbury past, keyboard player Dave Stewart (the two had played together at the beginning of the decade) and Henry Cow's Lindsay Cooper. The result, apart from revealing a slightly unhealthy obsession with fish (at least a change from Gong's pothead pixies) is a Canterbury musical delight, even if the lyrics are chock-full of hippie-dippy sentiment. There are plenty ...

| | Amon Duul Wolf City CD (1972)
Yeti album
$15.39 
Amon Düül II's fifth studio album is a more conventional recording than most, though there's still a lot of the involved experimenting and dark undercurrent which sets the band apart from the mainstream, along with the off-kilter hooks and odd humor which saved them from being lumped alongside more serious (and less easy to take seriously) prog rock outfits. After the lengthy explorations of Tanz der Lemminge, Wolf City seems targeted to an extent at a commercial English-speaking audience, perhaps reflective of their increased status in the United Kingdom, if not in America. Regardless, opening song "Surrounded by the ...
| | Danny Kirwan Second Chapter CD (1975) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
Yeti CD music
$19.79
The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists come from two different musical worlds. "Odds and Ends" is more lighthearted, the kind of music Paul McCartney toyed with on The White Album's "Rocky Raccoon." What Second Chapter immediately sets forth is the importance of Kirwan as a pop artist, ...

| | Throw Rag Desert Shores CD (2003)
Yeti album
$11.65
Throw Rag's approach to punk rock is refreshing and yet still time-honored. "Space Hump Me" has a lot of early-'70s punk in it, particularly with the sneering vocals and simple arrangement such as the Damned. Lead singer Captain Sean-Doe never lets loose as the song is wild but still quite tight, much like "Hollywood," which appears later. "Hang Up" continues the party rock atmosphere as more guitars are brought to the fore. However, they mix rockabilly and punk beautifully, especially on "Rule Maker," a tune that could easily be on a Social Distortion album. Performing what they dubbed ...
| | David Kilgour Frozen Orange CD (2004)
Yeti CD music
$12.25
Frozen Orange is David Kilgour's second record for Merge, and it is every bit as wonderful as A Feather in the Engine and stacks up well against his best work with the Clean. Kilgour has been making smart, melodic, and interesting indie for more years than anyone would care to add up, and unlike many indie rockers who seem to be merely shuffling along because the music is now their career, Kilgour is creating some of his best music yet. The album flows like sweet maple syrup from beginning to end, Kilgour's intimate croon caressing you like kind words from an old friend. Everything is near perfect throughout, from the production to the pace to (especially) the guitar work. The best song on the album is unlike anything Kilgour has done before; "Gold in Sound" is a laid-back, almost soft rock tune with gooey background shoo-wops and all kinds of guitars, keyboards, and vocals running through the song. It is a classic kitchen-sink production that would have sounded perfect on AM radio in the '70s and sounds great on an iPod, too. Most of the rest of the disc is more straightforward. "Frozen Orange" is the most Clean-sounding track with its driving beat and repetitive lyrics; "Dogs Barking" calls to mind Yo La Tengo at their most tuneful; "Blue Sky" and "Rolling" are glittering slices of cosmic country equal to anything modern country & western space cowboys like Beachwood Sparks have done. Elsewhere, the layers of guitars, ...
