Amon Duul II - "Tanz der Lemminge" (1971) Their third album was another double-one, and also one of their best. "Tanz..." fused the sound of "Yeti" with a more "normal" progressive rock style, and the album sounds overall a little bit more controlled and structured than its predecessor. The first three sides containes one side-long suite each, while the last side featured three riff-and jam based instrumentals with a quite heavy sound. The first suite, the lovely entitled "Syntelman's March of the Roaring Seventies" is more laidback and melodic than most of their other material. Most of the track is in an acoustic vein, but there's also room for some electric explorations on organ, electric guitar and even some Mellotron. "Restless Skylight-Transistor-Child" is possibly one of the most diverse and varied tracks ever recorded by a progrock band. Here you'll find spacey, distorted passages, heavy-prog and atmospheric and mystical psychedelic parts. Rock can't get more progressive than this. The third side is taken up by "Chamsin Soundtrack", and here the band returns to their improvisational free-form space style and creates some really dreamy and mystical atmosphere. Probably their best improvisation. For me it's almost impossible to have a favourite of "Yeti" and "Tanz...". Both these albums will give you a solid dose of original and unusual progressive rock.
