CD ReviewsGood starting point, but you'll buy more... 05/10/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "Being a fan of psychedelic music, I have always heard of this band, but aside from the occasional song on some compilation, I have never given Amon Duul 2 a chance. Now I know what I've been missing! This group is incredible. It's progressive psychedelia that ranges from totally out there and lysergic to very melodic and accessible, sometimes within the same song! The vocals are an acquired taste, but the music is always compelling. The album lacks the extended jams from early albums like Phallus Dei, Yeti, and Tanz, but the song choices provide a good, albeit brief overview of the group's early '70's efforts. Now that I have listened to this disc many times, I find myself seeking out Amon Duul 2 albums. It's a good compilation, but this group needs to be heard in album format. As an introduction to the band, the CD is excellent." Prog and Kraut Rock revealed H. L. Thomas | Athens, GA | 06/01/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I grew up with them, I left them and this compilation brought me back to them. The UA years is a very good introduction to the band, Amon Duul II. The UA years is also as good as it gets for a spacey and drawn out band, a commune of musicians whose song structures took a whole album to state and even then leaves the listener wanting more. This kind of approach makes for great music. Amon Duul II, as offspring to the more jazzy and drum oriented Amon Duul, expressed themselves as more of a rock band than an experimental conglomeration. If you have any interest at all in why Kraut Rock and Prog rock were so important to so many of us then use this release as a starting point. Who knows, you might even move on over to Hawkwind: Space Ritual and discover a whole new way of not only listening to music, but of making music as well." Amon Duul II - 'The UA Years: 1969-1974' (Cleopatra) Mike Reed | USA | 10/26/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "Another good krautrock compilation release.This was more or less my first Amon Duul II disc I ever bought.Sort of reminds me of a more rocking Gong.Ironically enough,like Gong,they have a female vocalist,Shrat Kroten who really seems to shine on tracks like "Archangel Thunderbird","Surrounded By The Stars" and "Henriette Krotenschwanz".Guitarist Chris Karrer appears to be the band's mainstay.Other cosmic gems here are "Soap Shop Rock",the tripping "Wie Der Wind Am Ende Einer","Utopia No.1","Stumbling Over Melted Moonlight" and the semi-unbelievable "Race From Here To Your Ears".A darn fine anthology of this long-running German ensemble,who to this very day still exists.A should-have."
