Rare ... An Ages ago 1969 always been obscure / hard to find LP by the legendary AMON DUUL 1 ... their first album appropriately titled "Psychedelic Underground" here with an entirely different (and just as striking) group cover photo design from the German issue !
The very elusive custom designed inner sleeve is included
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
"Psychedelic Underground" appears to be the work of music that summarizes much of the ideals and ethics of the Progressive/Underground scene that thrived in the mid-late 1960s, but also incorporates ideas popularized by the Beatles and Pink Floyd in terms of experimenting with the more avant-garde styles of music that had long been explored in the realms of art music.
The range of marks awarded to this album really reflects the kind of album it is - there's much to sneer at and cast derisory remarks about, not least the appalling production and rather weak jam sessions, but at the same time, a vital energy is projected such that even when the music descends into near-noise, we can still sense the togetherness of the musicians in spirit, at least... as one psych head put it; 90% attitude and 10% skill.
This might or might not work for you, but patience brings its own rewards with music of this nature, and it's only when listening beyond the production and the notes that the rather wonderful raw and primaeval nature of the music comes alive.
The music tends towards simple jams of one or two chord riffs with minimal changes and much walloping of drums. "Ein Wunderhübsches Mädchen Träumt von Sandosa", which doesn't feel quite as long as you think it might consits of two of these, joined loosely with a tae interjection, and rounded off with another one.
"Kaskados Minnelied" is a lot less predictable, despite being built around a simple 'cello line. There's a better dramatic shape here, despite a desparate need for a 'cello tuner, and an overall dark, earthy sound that seems to approach that of a digeridoo.
"Mama Düül und Ihre Sauerkrautband Spielt Auf" appears to be yet another piece built around the percussion section of "Saucerful of Secrets" - which was an impossibly influential release of the previous year. A little production experimentation fills out the 3 minutes in a way that is not so much interesting as baffling - but curiosity does encourage the listener to stick with it.
"Im Garten Sandosa" has a really peculiar air to it - a "vibe", if you will, and indicates a kind of progression in the album overall that we were not expecting. Yes, it's a single riff, with minimalistic changes - and that's its' strong point. Let yourself be sucked in by this one, and it's a buzzing journey filled with exotic locations and excitement with a climatic ending. Close your mind to it, and it's crazy sitar-driven hippy dirge.
"Der Garten Sandosa im Morgentau" follows on quite naturally, and, dare one say it, logically from the previous track, and blends in elements of the earlier material on the album, becoming the weirdest song on this very weird album, full of ghostly spookiness, surprisingly fragile dark edges, and plenty of space, with hints of the first Hawkwind album.
"Bitterlings Verwandlung" is, if anything, even wierder, exploding, as it does, with taped "Classical" music, and regularly returning to odd snippets here and there in a kind of collage that seems to take inspiration from Stockhausen's work in a far more serious way than anything the Beatles attempted - including (or perhaps, especially) "Revolution #9".
A very unusual album - almost unique for 1969...
