The second album by Amon Düül II, 1970's Yeti, is their first masterpiece, one of the defining early albums of Krautrock.
A double album on vinyl, Yeti consists of a set of structured songs and a second disc of improvisations.
A stoner krautrock gem with fuzztone guitars, witchy vocals, sinister violin sounds, groovy ambient noises, psychedelic guitar solos and dynamic drum work.
British avant-garde music magazine The Wire describes Yeti as "one of the cornerstones of both Amon Düül's career and the entire Krautrock movement."

Note: Krautrock is a German avant-garde / experimental rock movement that emerged at the end of the 1960's.
The term krautrock was originally a humorous one coined by the UK music press (such as New Musical Express and Melody Maker),
where "krautrock" found an early and enthusiastic underground following.
Julian Cope, in his book Krautrocksampler, says "Krautrock is a subjective British phenomenon,"
based on the way the music was received in the UK rather than on the actual West German music scene out of which it grew.
The term is also a problematic category due to the considerable differences between the artists so labelled.
Key artists associated with the tag include Can, Amon Düül II, Ash Ra Tempel, Faust, Popol Vuh, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Neu!, and Kraftwerk.
