Reviews

14th album, from 1980 ("Be Quiet, You Know I Am"). Originally a one-off for Klaus Schulze's Innovative Communications label, the opening moments contain a massive ritual chant, with some of Fichelscher's heaviest guitar playing pushing choral ensemble multi-voices to spectacular heights. "...deep mantric release. In addition to Florian's weaving keys & Danny's awesome guitar & percussives, they added a choral of over 100 voices & used them as a mantric/phonetic foundation over which their beautiful kaleidoscope sound paintings take you way inside yourself! Probably their most demanding album, also one of their finest."-- G.B. Was used in the soundtrack to Fitzcarraldo.

In the eighties the groups activities gradually decreased. Renate Knaup still contributed as a full member. On Sei Still .. another Amon Duul 2 member (Chris Karrer) helped out. This album has a dark and doomy, dense atmosphere, created by the choral voices.
