A joke of "kosmische" proportions by the Spalax label. This is not the "best" of Amon Duul, either I or II, and in fact is not even the "best" version of either band. The music on this CD is a collection from the early-'80's version of Amon Duul which featured none of the principals from earlier incarnations (it included Dave Anderson from Hawkwind). The sound ranges from lame synthpop to meandering jams which display nowhere near the adventurousness or intrigue of the vintage Duul style(s). Further evidence of label trickery: the copyright year on the back of the CD is listed as 1972, although none of these tracks were recorded until at least eight years later. Avoid this like the plague. (Robert Kennedy)
