Amon Düül II - Sandoz In The Rain (Improvisation)

Amon Düül II
Yeti (1970) - Sandoz In The Rain (Improvisation)

[@Nrgheal]

I had a good friend whose family were all great artists and the oldest one recently died. His works go for tens of thousands of dollars. One time in the 70s he needed 300 bucks and I commissioned him to do a painting of the cover from Yeti, the LP Sandoz in the Rain is on. I wish I could post it here but I did out a short video of it on my KZbin page just now … it’s big & amazingly beautiful

[@jackdaw6182]

Very beautiful and spiritual piece of music

[@Seansaighdeoir]

Wonderful improvisation...

[@ВалерийДобрынин-к1э]

Вечная вещь! Привет из Сибири!

[@mehimself3936]

Is this song really improv? Jesus christ this is fantastic

[@jan_Travis]

God what a hidden masterpiece! I'd love to hear this song played through some really big and powerful speakers and be in the center of it! Ohm Sweet Ohm by Kraftwerk too would be an experience!

[@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms]

Not really that hidden. The German Bands are more popular retrospectively than they were at the time I would say is more accurate.

[@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms]

More hidden than it should be but not the most hidden of the subgenre at least.

[@dennisbenzle7493]

[@gntgrnd]

Wasn't Sandoz the lab where Lysergic acid diethylamide 25 was first synthesized?

[@stefanblue660]

[@maxxblack2802]

@@dennisbenzle7493 yes I believe the same

[@jackdaw6182]

This was made 53 years ago! Love the album cover too

[@Nrgheal]

I had a famous artist friend paint the album cover for me years ago when he needed $300 (he didn’t sign it & I didn’t even think to ask him / 1970s) his work goes for upwards of $25 grand each now. Hanging in my upstairs hallway since I do energy healing & it looks a bit dark lol😊

[@CytoplasmicNanobots]

..sandoz acid in the rain, 1970 style

[@JackT13]

Apparently the whole band were tripping on acid when this was made

[@joeSeggiola]

According to their organist Falk Rogner, they weren't; the only time they recorded on acid was for "Wie der Wind am Ende einer Strasse" on later 1972 "Wolf City", after which they decided it was a waste of time to spend five hours recording five minutes of music (quoting from David Stubbs' book Future Days)... That said, Sandoz In The Rain is a wonderful trip.

[@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms]

​@joeSeggiola Krautrock took a more German "were going to sit down and seriously compose music" approach compared to its American and British Counterparts but also they were definetely doing lots of drugs a lot of the time. Probably just not while playing music or on stage though.

[@iamdamosuzuki_]

Wasnt this performed with members of the other Amon Düül?

[@joeSeggiola]

Yes, Ulrich Leopold and Rainer Bauer from Amon Düül respectively play bass and sing on this track, joined also by guest Thomas Keyserling on flute.

[@jiggersotoole7823]

Shame about the bloody advert at the beginning

[@sgstudios9122]

Damn yeah that is a shame I use Spotify and have premium so I never get ads but recently the last three improvisations off yeti were removed but the rest of the album intact so I had to come to KZbin to play the last three. I was praying I didn’t get any ads because I hate when my music gets interrupted but I didn’t so I’m sorry about that

[@oilingup]

Traffic if they were from Baden-Württemberg

[@aarymachado]

LSD

[@68lemonk]

I taste my first acid in"Spectro"Basel! I never forget....Was fantastic!

[@jan_Travis]

I'm working on figuring out the lyrics to this song. He does mumble a lot.

[@Nrgheal]

That’s by purpose. The internet has lyrics for the Düül I often like my own imagination better
