Amon Duul II - 'Lemmingmania' (Captain Trip)
Mike Reed | USA | 07/28/2004
(3 out of 5 stars)
"Originally released in 1974,'Lemmingmania' is a decent compilation made up of,mostly rare ADII singles.The only two tracks that I even remember are the outstanding "Archangels Thunderbird" and "Burning Sister"(an excerpt from "Soap Shop Rock").Vocalist Renate Knaup's vocals are quite good,sometimes truly astounding,specailly when guitarist Chris Karrer jumps in and shares the vocal duties with her.Brings to mind SORT OF like Germany's reply to Jefferson Airplane.If you happen to be a new ADII fan,you might want to consider getting their actual lp reissues on CD like 'Phallus Dei','Yeti' and work your way forward.'Lemmingmania' is pretty much meant for ADII completists.Truly deserves a 3 1/2 star rating."
