1. What an achievement! Who would have thought Amon Düül II "Dance Of The Lemmings" to be a continuation of  "Yeti", their famous acid-rock extravaganza, but the follow-up "Dance Of The Lemmings" is wondrously filled with equal layers of ideas! 
2. 
   
3. The classic line-up of Chris Karrer, Renate Krause, Peter Leopold, Falk U. Rogner and John Weinzierl certainly deserve far more credit than they ever got for their individual musicianship, and to be understood the epic is among the high playing field of the Krautrock visions in sound
   
4. The album contains "March Of The Roaring Seventies", yet it's very much rooted in the 60s. Dominated by some crafty guitar executions within an overwhelming hallucinogenic hippie vibe, the song becomes a progressive folk jam after the 6 minute-mark (but not before some heavily accented German vocals make their mark). It should appeal to those enjoying Pink Floyd and early Hawkwind offering a strangely dark, incredible improvised feel to it, yet is too impressive to only be on the spot improvised. Around about the 9:30 mark, the vocals come back with a trippy spacerock melody. "Restless Skylight-Transistor-Child" is another heavy blues jam affair with an odd mix of electronic sound effects. There's a repeated ascending riff which leads to a sparse stoner jam with sitar leading the way, eventually vocals come in over a heavenly choir. Around 7 minutes into it threatens to become a heavy stoner rocker, and fades away into great violin segment that colored "Yeti" making its presence felt on this record. The track eases into a spaced-out uprising with delightful guitar leads returning.
   
5. 
   
6. "The Marilyn Monroe Memorial Church" follows on from the second half of the Yeti album being pure atmospheric exprimentation. It is also one of the most brilliant examples of creative ideas. The sort of unearthly vibes this group could create when the thought arose was quite satisfying listening. With washes of sound, tinkling keys, crashing cymbals, ominous prodding bass and ever present organ -- a stellar soundscape is created. This would be a real treat to those who enjoy the live half of Pink Floyd's 'Ummagumma'.
7. 
   After the three epics above, the album flexes upon psych-nugget numbers ala acid-blues  "Chewinggum Telegram," the lysergic "Stumbling Over Melted Moonlight" and "Toxicological Whispering" which closes the album out with more dueling lead guitars. 
8. "Dance Of The Lemmings" is an essential underground rock exploration to experience
