The long and winding four-piece opener Soap Shop Rock is sure to turn some heads, but I prefer even more the wild guitar solos of Eye-Shaking King. This is a pretty great psychedelic jam record that shines on some of its longer passages.

German psychedelic masters Amon Duul II's earlier albums rank high among the best psychedelic-rock/jam records ever released.

Soap Shop Rock is one of the most important krautrock pieces of all times, period.
