Amon Düül - Meetings With Menmachines Inglorious Heroes Of The Past (1984)

The second album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

The Great Britain splinter group of the two Amon Duul's returned with their second album. 

The first album was improvised krautrock. This, the follow up album is something totally different again.

The music reminds me about the Scottish band Beggar's Opera and their transformation into a dream pop band.

Dream pop with female vocals is what we get here. Power pop is almost a better label as the music has some punk influences. A lot of them, in fact. There is no connection between this album and the debut album.

There are some decent instrumental and male vocals krautrock here too. But most of it is female vocals dominated power pop.

The result is a half-decent album and one best forgotten. 

I am not impressed.
