Stylistically, this "wacked-out bunch" presented experimental progressive rock with a touch of psychedelia, which took the liberty of borrowing from international luminaries such as Pink Floyd and Velvet Underground, benefiting from their inexhaustible surrealism, great talent for improvisation, and countless trance-like references. Amon Duul II recorded Carnival In Babylon in autumn 1971. Their penchant for experimentation, which had marked their predecessor albums, mixing numerous European and Far-Eastern influences, made way on Carnival In Babylon for a tighter, more contemporary approach. Vocalist Renate Knaup benefited most from this change of direction and proved on Carnival in Babylon to be more of a presence than ever before. While tracks such as Shimmering Sand' or Hawknose Harlequin' still allowed the group's earlier love of experimentation to shine through, Amon Duul II relied on shorter and clearly tighter arrangements on the tracks, C.I.D. In Uruk', Kronwinkl 12' and Tables Are Turned'. |
