amon düül 2 - an incoherent compilation of bonustracks, rare mixes and missing links

 

yes, there is a lot of amon-düül-related stuff in this=here blog, and here comes some more. for today i unearthed some 76 minutes of rare recordings by the german proto-post-punk-kraut legend amon düül 2 or amon düül II (and that is not amon dyn or amon düül 3 or amen dull or harm no doll or even amon düül, of course) for your listening pleasure. all of these tracks found their very own=obscure ways out of the düül-archives or were especially recorded by later line=ups of the band for the inclusion either on legal or semilegal or illegal re-releases of their classic albums or are remixes and rerecordings for the sake of some budget-compilations for the sake of it. strange stuff, indeed.

 

 

so here we go=go:

 

01 - jam hai (live in tokyo on the 12th of april 1996; remix for the compilation drei jahrzehnte)  (listen directly)

02 - freak out requiem #2 (taken from the 2000 rerelease of phallus dei on gammarock; probably recorded in 1969)
