The Bone Dragon by Alexia Casale, reviewed by C.J. Busby
The Bone Dragon is an extraordinary book - strong, delicate, magical and matter of fact all at once. It's beautifully written, and will, I'm sure, be deservedly feted by prize committees. It's also gripping, and funny, and very original.
The main protagonist, Evie, is a young teenager who is adopted, and gradually recovering from childhood abuse. At the start of the book she has had a number of shattered ribs removed, and the remnants of one of them is carved into a dragon, to keep by her bedside. The piece of broken rib, symbol of her helplessness against the violence she's suffered, is transformed into a symbol of strength and endurance. But it is soon clear that it is more than just a symbol - the bone dragon comes to life, becomes a kind of protector spirit and guide. In a number of strange, magical interludes, the dragon takes Evie on a slow journey of healing, their night-time adventures exploring the moonlit fens around her house gradually helping to dissolve some of the anger and the strong defenses that have partially shut Evie off from her new friends and adopted family. Casales makes it clear that the dragon does not exist just in Evie's imagination - there is real mud on her clothes in the morning, and real consequences of some of the dragon's acts: this is magic. But it's a strange, wayward magic that is woven into an otherwise very straightforward narrative of Evie's life and recovery. We learn about her ups and downs with her new family, the process by which they themselves are gradually coming to terms with the death of their son and their brother's wife in a car accident, Evie's troubles at school, her relationship with a teacher who also becomes her counsellor, and the physical complications of her rib operation. Magic and matter-of-fact events mingle, as night follows day, each equally gripping.
It's the counterpoint of these two elements that makes the book so unusual, especially in children's literature, where books are generally either fantasy or 'real-life'. Casales is even more unusual in weaving this thread of magic into a book that deals with the very contemporary and troubling issues of domestic violence and abuse, and particularly in producing a book that deals with those issues obliquely, delicately, without the least bit of sensationalism or easy emotional tugs on the reader. What Evie suffered at the hands of her birth family is never specified, although it can be inferred - she herself, as the narrator, avoids giving it words, cleverly deflecting the probes of her teacher/counsellor, and indeed avoids even thinking about it except in sideways, partial glimpses. We feel the weight of its horror at moments, but always counterbalanced by the warmth, love and understanding Evie is surrounded with from her adopted family. Similarly, the bullying she suffers at school is painful, but always balanced by the support she gets from her two best friends. And ultimately, the anger and fear she still feels about her birth family is balanced by the steadfast, if elliptical, promise of the dragon.
The bone dragon acts as a kind of counterpart to the trauma Evie has suffered - as if the outrageous wrongness of what happened to her has called forth an equally outrageous and irrational magic in response, to rebalance the world. And there is indeed a kind of rebalancing in what the bone dragon achieves - a measure of peace for Evie and a measure of justice in the world. Along the way Casales offers us some wonderful characters and some extremely moving, funny, true-to-life interactions between them - I particularly love Evie's adopted Uncle Ben (everyone should have an Uncle Ben - where can I get one?). I've read reviews that carp slightly about how lovely Evie's adopted family are, as if Casales makes it all too easy. I don't think she does - I think what she shows is just how scarring this kind of experience is for any child, even when they get the best possible second chance, but also, just how much difference such a second chance can make. Personally, I mistrust books that pile on the misery, and one of the things I loved most about this book is precisely that Evie gets the love and security she deserves, and the help she needs, whether from her new family or from the magical bone dragon.
At the end of the book, Casales informs us that she herself, like Evie, has a piece of rib in a pot, and notes that potential critics should beware: it is just waiting to become a dragon. This, I assume, explains the incredibly assured and vivid descriptions she gives of the pain and feeling of shattered ribs. But since this is a nice review, she (hopefully) won't be needing that dragon to protect her!

Lesson objective: Determine if a given set of attributes for a triangle produce a unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle.
This lesson helps to build procedural skill with using the triangle angle sum and the Triangle Inequality Theorem. Visual representations are used here because students use the drawings to write equations that show the relationships among the angles and sides of the triangle. This work develops students' understanding that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180\(^\circ\)and that the sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side of the triangle.
Students engage in Mathematical Practice #7 (look for and make use of structure) as they determine the conditions that create a unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle.

Three persons were injured yesterday in a clash between two revenue contractors assigned to collect taxes on behalf of the Edo State Government.
The clash, which occurred at the City Centre, involved workers of Akugbe Ventures Limited and members of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RETEAN).
Sources said the RTEAN members clashed with Akugbe Ventures workers after the government appointed the firm to collect revenues from commercial vehicles and tricycles on its behalf.
Addressing reporters at the state police headquarters, Chairman of Akugbe Ventures Tony Kabaka lamented the inability of both the government and the police to bring the crisis to order.
He said three of his workers were attacked by RTEAN officials.

My webspace provider is updating the underlying php engine from php4 to php5, which is all nice and dandy — except for the fact that it completely breaks the XSLT wizardry on the current pages. Probably a good thing, though — it's about time to get on with the times and upgrade to a proper CMS.
So here it is, a new look for bastwood.com, powered by WordPress. Maybe now I'll actually have the motivation to update stuff more often, given that it's dead easy to do all kinds of stuff with WP. I'm kinda not happy with the page appearance at the moment, but I'm probably too lazy to actually make my own theme. If I find something that looks better, I'll switch.

Section: Daily Reminder Category: Zechiras Miriam
The Chofetz Chaim in his hakdama, lists 17 Lavin that you can be oveir with Lashon Hara. One of the them is Lo Sachanifu, do not flatter the sinners. By flattering and giving support to someone doing something inappropriate you become an accomplice to his crime. When someone speaks Lashon Hara to you or before you, by agreeing with him or adding to what he said you are oveir Lo Sachanifu. Even if you only nod your head in approval you are oveir. This is especially important to remember when you are sitting with a large group. When Lashon Hara is said there is intense social pressure to chime in and show agreement with the consensus. Yet Chazal tells is that it is better to be a fool in the eyes of people (i.e., social nerd) our whole lives, rather than to be a Rasha before Hashem for even a short moment.
The Ramban and other Rishonim count, among the Mitzvos Aseh Min HaTorah, the mitzva of remembering and saying with your mouth each day what Hashem did to Miriam when she spoke about her brother Moshe. The Chofetz Chaim in Shaar Tvunah Perek 12 says that being Mikayem this mitzva can save you from the aveira of Lashon Hara. More than just saying the pasuk, says the Chofetz Chaim, one must think about the incident in order for it to have its intended effect. Listen to our Shemiras HaLashon Yomi in our audio section.

The school-based dungeon crawler will have much of the same mechanics as the first two games, with the main protagonist being completely customizable. Players choose from three schools for their character to attend, and the story - and of course, the school uniform - will change depending on which school they choose. The third title will get a bit of a facelift though, with improved visuals and a more 'user-friendly' interface.
Like Class of Heroes 2G, Class of Heroes 3 will be fully voiced, and the J-pop group Sphere will appear as in-game NPCs. The two versions of the game will also link up to each other to access monsters and items; as well they will also link up to the the previous games.
Class of Heroes 2G will be released in Japan on July 15th. Both versions of Class of Heroes 3 will be available in September.

I was actually visiting Bath, but I stayed in Frome, which is an hour south by bus. The bus station is right outside the hotel for drop off from Bath, and the station going to Bath is right across the street. It's walking distance to the Frome Museum, there is a large outdoor mall with a department store, produce store, and many restaurants and fast food shops, and a tea room up the street. There is a Barclays Bank atm across the street.
The main business of the George is the pub. They rent out rooms, which are clean, with ensuite bathrooms with bath/showers.
The noise from the street is minimal, and the rooms are up from the pub, so there is minimal noise (I had no pub noise in my room at all, but I was up two floors from the lobby). The price is excellent, and even including round trip ( they call it "return" ) fare (6 pounds) to and from Bath, it's still much less than staying in Bath. Plus, you get a nice view of the countryside on the hour trip to Bath and the benefit of a small village atmosphere. It's got a nice atmosphere to it, the staff is friendly and helpful. The carpets are a little old, but they are in the process of renovating as time and revenue allows.
I wish, however, that they'd have told me to check in at the bar, not the locked hotel entrance. the free WiFi is not available in the rooms. You have to go to the pub. That having been said, they had the most comfortable bed I've experienced in the whole of my one month trip.
It's a nice place to stay if you want to drive to Bath or to Longleat, both of which are a short distance away. It's less expensive than the larger cities around there. I didn't have a car on this trip (it was winter, and I wanted to take public transport in order to see the countryside and not have to worry about any snow/rain/ice on the roads). Next trip, I rent a car!
For the benefit of the survey, they didn't have a swimming pool, nor fitness center. I'll forgo those, as I get good exercise walking. The city of Frome (by the way it's pronounced Froom), has a fine walking tour, and you can get info from http://www.askwhy.co.uk/frome/07frometour.php.

Out of the future ashes of the Munich-based hippy commune of Amon Düül, came this unit that seemed more serious about making music, other than as a social and political statement, Amon Duul II rose like a phoenix and built around Karrer (guitar), Rogner (bass) and Serfas (drums) and reputation growing, signed a deal with Liberty records and recrding their debut album in early 69, with two more members: drummer Leopold (from the other AD group) and bassist Anderson (pushing Rogner onto the keyboard stool). With two star guests, Burchard (Embryo, crosstown rivals) Trutzsch (Popol Vuh, also from the city), produced by Passport's Kübler, and graced with an astonishing psyched-out tree-and-sky artwork (courtesy of KB man Rogner), Phallus Dei is a landmark in Krautrock, also sung in a sort of medieval Upper German
Their sound is somewhat the full-on revolutionary psych of the sister group AD and much more accomplished psych groups like Floyd and the jammy Jefferson Airplane, yet having that typical early Krautrock raw sound of Can's Monster Movie. Opening the album on an Indian sitar and Burchard's vibes, the short Kanaan is an invitation to glide some 10 miles into the stratosphere on grass smoked-filled clouds for a 4-minutes short flight. The much slower strating Dem Guten Schonen Wahren turns quickly into a Floyd-like freak out (Saucerful-era) with its repetitive riff (but not too much, either) with some silly Zappa-like vocals and other artefacts like a semblance of Gregorian choirs and tons of others. Luzifers Gholom is the centrepiece of this first side, an ever-changing piece filled with an Eastern-sounding horn disappearing to let drum and bongo duet rhythming the track to chitter-chatter-like scat vocals and wild stop/go riffs, decadent ambiance and grass fumes floating about. The Henriette piece is a martial beat with semi-operatic vocals from Renate, but simply to short (2 mins) to make an impact on the album.
Of course, the album's tour de force is the title track, filling the flipside with plenty of freaky spacey sounds filling the first few minutes, much reminiscent of early TD, PV, Cluster or Kraftwerk, but past this lengthy improvised intro, Leopold (drums) and Karrer (fuzz guitar) pull the track out in open field under Andersson's pulsing and hypnotic bass (you can hear early Hawkwind in there). Later on, a weird sort of space whisper from Renate (not unlike Gilly Smyth's whims) over a Floyd-like organ, a lengthy percussion duet filled with weird sounds, including the eastern-sounding kazoo/oboe, still later Karrer's un-tuned violin, an hypnotic slow guitar until a slow ending, are the successive features of this monster track. Definitely one of ADII's crowning achievement.
With PD (the first of the Liberty Records era trilogy) is a much more accomplished album than their sister group AD could ever dream of. Later that year, the group would have one of their gig filmed while touring for this album and the film gave Amon Duul II plays Phallus Dei (now on DVD as well), but it is a still camera shooting part of the group and is best forgotten. Also that year, they would compose the soundtrack of a film San Domingo, for which they would receive a national award prize. So, while still a very inexperienced group (some members were still learning their instruments), PD remains one of those historically essential albums in rock's history.

Listened to this for the first time today, so have had no time to get a real "feel" for the album - but my first impressions are that here we have a prog album for the connoisseur.
If Jilly Goulden was reviewing this album, she'd probably say "I'm getting Hawkwind, Floyd, Jefferson Airplane and Focus - I'm getting Sandalwood, Patchouli... holy $^&* I'm getting freaked out!"
Wonderfully improvisational feel, with immediate appeal to lovers of the aforementioned bands, simply because Amon Duul II take their influences without directly plagiarising - and how could they? In 1969, Hawkwind were not the same band that recorded "Space Ritual", Floyd still had Barrett (just about!), Focus had yet to record "Moving Waves", and Jefferson Airplane were one of the most influential psychedelic bands ever.
So, first impressions - Superb psychedelia, but don't expect Genesis or Spock's Beard! Would appeal immediately to fans of post-Barrett Floyd, Lemmy era Hawkwind and Focus, principally because they show flavours of these bands. It's important to note that they are not simply derivative or plagiaristic (except, perhaps, of Airplane/Dead to some extent), and as such you should get a (very nice) surprise!
"Phallus Dei" was the beginning, a wonderful psychedelic offering. Certainly the vocals aren't the best, but most of the time, they chose to sing in German on this album. The sound quality, I hate to say it, is rather trash-can quality, but I guess I expect that with a then-unknown band and the budget they had, and it was 1969. The album has four cuts on side one and a side-length cut on side two. It's with the side-length cuts that show you what the band would be up to on following albums. It stars off in a rather experimental style, not unlike what's on "Tanz der Lemminge", then they go in to a lengthy guitar jam. There's extended use of bongos, before they get in to music.
It's also pretty safe to say that "Phallus Dei" is to AMON DÜÜL II what "Monster Movie" is to CAN: both being their most '60s sounding albums. "Phallus Dei" is a wonderful debut and I particularly recommended this album to those who like the more psychedelic end of Krautrock.

Guitarist/violinist/singer Chris Karrer stands out on this album. He sings lead on nearly all the songs and his violin playing gives this an eerie feel. "Kanaan" immediately establishes a mood with haunting sitar-like guitar and operatic, wordless backing vocals from Renate. "Dem Guten, Schönen, Wahren" borders on the absurd, with unearthly falsetto vocals from Chris, but definitely sends chills up and down your spine with some memorable violin work. "Luzifers Ghilom" presages Damo Suzuki's singing style in Can with an expressionistic, gibberish-speak section in the middle. The twin guitar attack arrives with this track. The A-side of the original LP closes with "Henriette Krötenschwanz", a morbid musical description of a fatal car-accident with demi-operatic vocals from Renate.
It's the 20 minute title piece that sends this album into the stratosphere, though. A new and exciting model for structured improvisation, it moves from outer space to an intense, tribal middle section with layers of percussion over which the band members scream and wail expressionistically. The closing section, where Chris' singing voice and sawing electric violin enter, is truly striking. It leads you to realize what a TIGHT band this was, that they could make such unforgettable music more or less spontaneously shows that they were a true force to be reckoned with.

"Kanaan" has an Eastern feel to it and the drums are prominant. German vocals a minute in and some good guitar melodies 3 minutes in. "Dem Guten, Schonen, Wahren" is a great tune. Crazy vocals, synths and drums early in the song.The sound is amazing 2 minutes in. The bass from Dave Anderson (from the UK) is really good. Aggressive guitar 5 minutes in as drums pound away. "Luzifers Ghilom" has some cool percussion and a catchy beat. Vocals follow and the drumming is fabulous. "Henriette Krotenschwarz" features marching-like drums throughout and female (Renate) vocals.
"Phallus Dei" the title track is over 20 minutes of brilliance. The first section is experimental with various disturbing noises.Then we are treated to some incredible tribal like percussion as the guitar melodies join in. Female vocal melodies 8 minutes in as the sound softens. Things pick up again as the guitar is emphasized, more craziness and percussion. Male vocals come in as the sound totally changes then we hear ripping violins that sound like they are straight from hell. Absolutely scorching violin melodies ! I have heard nothing like this before ! What a way to end the show! My particular cd has some bonus tracks that were previously unreleased from around the same time period. And as bonus tracks go these are amazing songs. A four part suite called "Freak Out Requiem" is incredible !
This is a 5 star record that needs to be heard.

'Phallus Dei' (literally god's penis) is one of the records that got me into kraut, it's quite a varied album with despairing moments of psychosis, powerful jamming and righteous riffing there is a lot to like here. The album opens with the worldy 'kanaan' conveying images of Indian slums and sheesha smoke hazes with a rich flowing sound, there are a lot of elements of late 60's psychedelia here too but taken to something of an extreme. The intensity gets dialed up on the next and my personal favourite song 'Dem Guten Schonen Wahren' with an opening riff straight out of a bad acid trip and fevered vocals speaking in tongues things look up a little with some psychedelic jamming before the next acid tab kicks in.
The album lightens up a bit with the upbeat 'Luzifers Ghilom' with some slightly more accessible material, there are some great riffs and moments here and some great jamming. Then after the filler track 'Henriette Krotenschwanz' we move onto the next side with the leviathan 20 minute title track (pretty well unheard of in those days) and we are subjected to a lot of avant-garde freakout noise for a few minutes before the bass kicks in and the song builds into a full blown jam lasting many minutes before a percussion respite followed by you guessed it - more jamming!, a pretty satisfying epic song in the end.
The musicianship on this album is fantastic, jamming and jamming well is hard, really hard and the key component to successful psychedelic jams is the drummer and as you'd expect from krautrock even very early krautrock the drumming is magnificent, very flowing and commanding, the percussion too as you'd expect from any decent kraut recording is amazing particularly in kanaan and Luzifers Ghilom. The guitar work is really good too, some great jam soloing and riffage to be had, I particularly like the clean diminished arpeggios in 'Dem Guten Schonen Wahren'. The bass is like all the other instruments is exemplary, it slots in nicely with the drums and guitar and is also nice and high in the mix which I always like. There is some great 'righteous triforce jamming' (as it has been so named by my band mates) between guitar, drums and bass where they all get into a groove yet are doing their own thing respectively - it just works. another thing I particularly like about this album is the organ and synth sounds, they add some great textures. The vocals would be my only major gripe when it comes to instrumentation, they can be a tad annoying at times with high pitched wailings and the like but for the most part the focus is on the instruments so it doesn't factor in an awful lot. Another thing I really enjoy the gritty 60's production of this album, it suits the music perfectly and enhances certain emotions and experiences.
Overall it's a great album worth 4 stars probably about 4.5, it just lacks a little direction in places and there are a lot of great things that aren't really repeated, well worth while for any fan of kraut or late 60's psychedelia.
The title track is weird and wonderful. This track always reminds me of some crazy spaced out Halloween party.
It opens with spooky weirdness and wails that you're granny does to try and scare the kids at Halloween except far far more musical. Come to think of ti, the kids woudl be a lot more scared of this album than gran trying to do ghost impersonations.
The mood moves on to up tempo jazzy riffing jazzy riffs with, at times, a guitar sound that reminds me of Toni Iommi. In fact, if you know early Black Sabbath then if you can imagine some of their jazzy interludes, you're not to far aware from one of the major passages in Pallus Dei. Since, Sabbath is good in my book, this saves the album from the liquidizer. Still working as a beer mat though.
Once the twiddling is over we enter the dark and mysterious world of echonig howling and screams (all of course still done in a musical way). Obviously gran has been Ushered out of the House, and Weird Uncle Al has come in the back door, a bit worse for wear, intent on rehashing his werewolf routine. Luckily for the listener he passes out and a new phase begins. the music lurches along with a passable rhythm and vaguely folky instrumentation, unfortunately cousin BinLid has escaped form the local asylum and starts giving his best Yip Yip Blurble Blurble over the increasingly manic drums (hmm is Uncle Al trying to get to the WC??). there's a sound of crashing galss, that must have been gran hurling herself out the window in an effort to preserve her own sanity.
Some sort of order is restored. Uncle Al pipes up "Oh I'm getting sick!". better out than in I say. That is until we listen to the fiddle. I'm sure in krautrock land this passes for excellence but for an ear brought up on traditional irish folk it has the same effect as scraping a fork across a greasy plate.
Everytime I listen to Kaanan I want to shout "Yee-Haw!": maybe it's just me but there is definitely some sort of country undertone here. But since this is waaay out there, such banalities are reined in and squished as true krautrock progness is asserted.
The vocals in Dem Guten make me burst out laughing. I just don't get it. it reminds me too much of people extracting the michael. I know it's meant to be serious and tremendous, but I just can't help myself.
Here we face on the the great dilemnas of reviweing a genre that just doesn't float your boat.OK I really can't stand this music. So for me it's a trash it & use the CD as a beer mat, however, each to their own. s.
This is album not for me (but I've already got it). I prefer Wolf City and Dance of the Lemmings, but being honest that's like saying I'd prefer my front teeth pulled out rather than have my tongue hammered flat by a meat tenderizer and spending a day with Blackadder and his codling grinder.
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator / In Memoriam
AMON DUUL 2!! AMON DUUL 2!! What a mysterious name! How more ''prog'' can you sound than ''AMON DUUL 2?? Tell me! I remember growing up in the beginning of the 70s with DEEP PURPLE,KC, YES and when i visited my favorite record store, there were those AMON DUUL LPs with their strange, psychedelic, stoned i should say, artcovers that told you you would not be getting any straight rock n roll from them. Instead you had a feeling those sublime covers were just a warning telling us: welcome to our world, enjoy your trip but only at your own risk!
My first AD2 purchase was the monumental YETI , their second album , a double LP full of psychedelic freak-out mayhem that remains one of the most essential recording of the prog scene. Only later did i buy PHALLUS DEI (!!!)-no need to translate, i hope.
PHALLUS DEI was AMON DUUL 2 first album, coming out in the musically burgeonning year of 1969 and remains a landmark not only in the AD2 catalog, not only in the Krautworld but is simply a must have to any decent prog collection. Beside its musical brillance, it was also an album that opened the doors to a new genre, inspiring plenty of new bands to produce psychedelic''kraut'' music in Germany and outside of Germany.
Sure, the Munich-based band were not the only ones at that time to introduce us to the German sound. TANGERINE DREAM with Edgar Froese and Klaus Schulze released ELECTRONIC MEDITATION , CAN came out with MONSTER MOVIE that same year, but PHALLUS DEI musically definitely stands above these other LPs.
As for the music, it goes from unstructured jams (you think, but it's not)l, bands like JEFFERSON AIRPLANE and the GRATEFUL DEAD made popular at the same time in the USA to weird singing parts, trippy ''world'' music with some African or Middle Eastern influences, haunting spacey backing vocals, a few good guitar riffs , a lot of violin soloing adding a lot of mystery to the music.
The main piece of meat is the 20mns title track that starts slow with tablas, bongos sounds, evolve in one of those jams before some structure appears with the keys and the great backing vocals from RENATE KNAUP, their female lead singer. Then follows some nice freaky violin parts and ''Phallus Dei''becomes a more structured song with vocals from Chris Karrer, their violin, second guitar and sax player.....A wonderful trippy entrance to the mysterious world of AMON DUUL 2!
The second side (I am talking about the good old LP here) is no letdown , believe me.If someone not aware of prog music would ask me for a good example to hear, KANAAN or DEM GUTEN SCHONEN WAHREN would be my choice....Spacey instrumentation, weird but great vocals, ethnic influences, numerous musical breaks.......everything a ''progger'' asks from this music!
The only downside of this album is the same problem plaguing a lot of German bands: the quality of the vocals or lack of it , i shoud say!! RENATE KNAUP even if she is not the best singer in the world does a great job and her voice fits very well with the music. However, the same cannot be said about CHRIS KARRER: a great composer, a great multi instrumentist but definitely a poor vocalist and the problem seems he doesn't even try like on LUZIFERS GHILOM. Thanks god , RENATE is superb when she comes back to close the album with the wonderful HENRIETTE KROTENSCHWANZ.
My new PHALLUS DEI CD includes 2 great bonus tracks ,the 10mns TOUCH MAPHAI and 10 more mns with I WANT THE SUN TO SHINE which fit very well with the original music....Just be ready for a very stoned hallucinating trip . You have heard nothing yet if you don't know this album!!
Close to a masterpiece, but not quite due of some poor vocals as LUZIFERS GROHM is the only track that fails to mesmerize me like the rest of PHALLUS DEI does.
An indispensable addition to ANY prog music collection,
Krautrock, the beginning..
This album is hard to rate. You won't find any other psychedelic proto-gothic albums dating from '69, but the recording is horrible! The ideas of Amon Duul II are clearly super original, highly innovate and very bombastic. Maybe they just were there just to soon! The recording was done in two days, which is the main problem of the album.
Though the songs on side one (on my vinyl copy it's called side two) are recorded with a just acceptable quality, the big 21 minute epic Phallus Dei has it's plain ugly moments with out of pitch string arrangements, sound-blurs and in-distinctive passages. For this reason I got mainly into side one (the side with four tracks). Another problem this albums has is it's lack of great musicianship. Some of the parts sound quite amateurish, unlike their late sixties colleagues from England and America. This might be due to the short recording time.
Kanaan is an up-tempo proto punk, proto gothic (due to the vocal arrangements) tracks with a pinchy rhythm and with abstract vocals. Great atmosphere! Other tracks follow the sound of the first one with some new details like a ding-ding vocal solo and some high pitched vocals. On side two there are more experiments with soundscapes and classical influences.
Conclusion. An album that proves the genius vision these musicians had, but it didn't become the album to change the world because of the lack of a proper recording and some poor musicianship. I would wish they had recorded this album some years later, I would be very interesting in buying it again! The ideas and vision of this album is as special as King Crimson's début. Still no more then three stars for this one, but ooowh this so interesting if you interested in music history, Krautrock, psychedelic rock, sound-scapes and even gothic music.

Kanaan is a briljant opener. In just 4 minutes it brings the best kraut rock has on offer. Entrancing grooves, spacey effects, semi-dissonant spooky sounds and weird non-melodic vocals, almost spoken word in this case. Esoteric melodies and rhythms complete it. Dem Guten is even better, certainly the use of the violins stands out here. The vocals are even stranger, very theatrical, almost operatic at times. Well, nothing is really normal in this music, also the guitars are very unconventional and somehow bring Captain Beefheart to mind.
One of the main attraction of kraut rock is the abundant use of wild and percussion-heavy rhythms. Phallus Dei has plenty of those. All songs have a dominating repetitive pace, sometimes funky, sometimes jazzy, sometimes rocking hard, sometimes Eastern, but always very stirring and entrancing. The centrepiece is the 21 minute title track, a loose jam with lots of inspired and original musicianship.
Phallus Dei is an essential album in the kraut scene and highly recommended to prog enthusiasts in general. Even if it might not be an album you will enjoy right away, it will certainly give your harmonic senses a good shake. And maybe your booty as well.
Part of the unique and innovative sound of Amon Duul II are the eclectic influences. Arabic percussion, menacing violin and unusual vocals, varying from loose and silly to chant-like and operatic, are recurring theme's in their catalogue. Therefore, it's no surprise that Phallus Dei has a diverse but consistent sound with many unexpected elements. The album is an enthralling journey from beginning to end, taking the listener through some the most manical dissonance I have ever heard. The epic title track in particular is full of this frightening dissonance, coming in the form of creepy violin playing, reverberated shouts of angst, and intense improvisation. Just as astounding are the other songs, such as the mesmerizing "Kanaan" with its relentless groove; the theatrical "Dem Guten, Schonen, Waren"; and "Luzifers Ghilom", which is more in the vein of what's to come on an album such as Yeti. These songs often come with folky tendencies, enthralling riffs, and sound quite heavy, looking at the year it was released.
Yes, Phallus Dei is a mind-blowing debut album, being dynamic, innovative, unique, but perhaps a tad immature, looking at future releases by the band. Nevertheless, I consider Phallus Dei to be a masterpiece and an absolutely essential album in Amon Duul II's catalogue. The album will surely be enjoyed by those who enjoy psychedelica, dissonance and menacing atmospheres.

From the ashes of Amon Duul we see the birth of a psychedelic band, and probably of Krautrock itself. There's still a lot of improvisation, but what we can hear on this album is music. Psychedelic, sometimes weird, as the album title is. In Latin it means "God's Penis".
"Kanaan" is an instrumental that's enough to understand what the album is about: non- spacey psychedelia reminescent of Syd Barrett and more acoustic than electronic, in the sense that the organ is not invasive and the guitar is the more "acid" instrument in the ensemble.
"Den Guten, Schönen, Wahren" (The Good Nice Wares) is a real song. Nothing to do with the old Amon Duul. Here the guitar sounds very acid as well as the vocals, some high- pitched. It's a very good track.
"Luzifers Ghilom" (The Chiloum of Lucifer) is opened by bongos which give it a "hippy" mood. This track sounds a bit indian, but just a bit. It's an acid track with a nice bass interlude and upbeat tempo. Psychedelic rock in 1969.
" Henriette Krötenschwanz" is a short song that closes the A side. Some "Renate" sings in German with a soprano pitch. Are we sure that they didn't influence Christian Vander and Magma in some way?
The B side is occupied by the side long title track. Very Floydian, in the sense of the most psychedelic and chaotic parts of Ummagumma plus some sounds reminiscents of Syd Barrett. Four minutes of this stuff and the bass guitar introduces a part very similar to the central section of Interstellar Overdrive. The long unstructured (and awful) improvisations of the old Amon Duul are here transformed into real psychedelic music. The musicians play their instrument that are correctly tuned and the suite has a sort of structure and don't appear to be so improvising. It takes 12 minutes to find a sort of melody (same chords of Deep Purple's Child in Time, just as curiosity). Then violins play a short folky part with a little classical flavour just to be replaced by strong and fast percussions and background voices. A few of this stuff and the acid rock is back. The two violins seem to be driving the game, even when the track is not instrumental only. This until the end.
This is quite a double-face album: The A side has interesting moments and is averagely good, but the B side is a very good long psychedelic suite. 3.5 stars really, but it's seminal and probably the first album ever that can be called Krautrock so I roud it up to 4
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Post/Math Rock Team
You could describe the music here as late '60s psych, but that wouldn't be a fair description. The music is more experimental and "progressive" than that. The main instruments are the typical guitar, bass, drums and organ, but violin and percussion play an important part. There are both male and female vocals, singing mostly in German I believe. The vocals are kind of strange and even the English ones are hard to understand. You sometimes hear two drummers at the same time. In general, ADII is more melodic and composition-centred than a lot of their contemporaries.
Things begin with "Kanaan", which is almost raga-rock at first. It then switches to psych rock with vocals. Later returns to the raga-rock part. A psych jam with guitar solo afterwards. "Dem Guten, Schonen, Wahren" opens with psych guitars and cymbals. Then vocals and some steady drumming. A very '60s sounding song but very good. I love the 'chorus' here which is obviously sung in German. Some of the vocals here are real oddball, which is a good thing of course. A psych guitar solo near the end. Then the band plays the music to the 'chorus' part while someone talks on a megaphone.
"Luzifers Ghilom" has some nice sounds to open it; I don't know what instruments I'm listening to. After a funky drumbeat and bongos appear. Guitars and violin come in playing a riff/melody. The music stops and you can hear gibberish "chicka-chicka-down-down" vocals. The band then proceeds to play a different section of music. More vocals and some organ now. Later some kind of chanting. Nice guitar is joined by two drumkits and more gibberish vocals. The guitar and organ parts here are great. More chanting. Over halfway changes to a new section with violin and wordless vocals. A cool riff to end it.
"Henriette Krotenschwanz" starts with a marching beat. Bass and guitar is joined by vocals. First Renate and then male vocals. I never really liked her vocals, especially this early in their career. The music is like a weirder version of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit". And now we get to the heart of the album. The title track is a great journey through German progressive rock circa 1969. It begins with random sounds on different instruments for a few minutes. Very spacey and avant, gets more noisy. About 3 1/2 minutes in a repetative bassline starts and other instruments join in with the tempo increasing. Goes into a jam/improv.
The music after awhile calms down, and then some organ and wordless vocals. Things get more intense and a violin appears. The music proceeds to do a start/stop thing. Then a brief melodic section with guitar, violin and drum rolls. Violin solos briefly with some percussion. Then percussion and voclas dominate along with random sounds and a weird altered voice. Music gets very intense and tribal sounding. Full band comes back in sounding like symphonic country music. Later guitar and violin duel with each other before the rhythm section returns and there is now singing. The lyrics are in English, but I'm not sure what is being sung. Later on some melodic bass and vibraphones. Ends with a great riff and a good drumbeat. More wordless vocals.
ADII would make both more accessible and less accessible albums after this. This is the debut album from an experimetal German rock group from the 1960s; so don't expect the greatest sound quality. The thing about ADII, compared to other Krautrock groups, is that I don't think these guys really influenced too many other artists. Not in the same way Can, Faust or Neu! did. Anyway, this is a great early prog album and one of the very first Krautrock albums. A must hear for anyone curious about early non-UK/US prog. 4 stars.
The first one is to take it for what it is. The second one is to take it as a revolutionary album from the late sixties. You can also consider it as a disjointed psychedelic adventure (even if the great albums from the genre were released in 67/68). One can also be totally closed to this sort of music.
I would say that it is way better than most of their "Can" German counterpart (but this is a strict and personal opinion). At least some music is achieved (that's really how I feel) and the psychedelic mood (which I like quite a bunch) is quite decent, even if the comparison with the greatest bands of the genre doesn't speak in favour of AD II.
Some tracks from the first vinyl side are quite under par ("Luzifers Glhom", "Henriette Krotenschwanz"), but I won't be too much of a critic about this since one has to consider the album as a breakthrough in space rock really. At least I feel so while I listen to the highlight from this work which is the side long title track.
It is full of mystery, weirdness at times, disjointed moments for sure, wild beat at times, "organized" improvisation, crazy drumming and exploding guitar breaks. I was way too young to have discovered this album while it was released (I was only ten) but I would have endorsed it for sure with a few added years.
Anyway, I would say that this work can be rated with one or five stars; depending how you sit with my introduction. As far as I am concerned, three stars is the judgment. Side one is too weak overall.
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Symphonic Team
Dem Guten, Schönen, Wahren continues the trend with spacey effects and ethereal vocalisations. The chilling atmospheres are akin to the type generated by Magma or Can who were all into this type of macabre music. It all sounds like a Gothic Rammstein these days but this Krautorck was essential to the movement as was Can, Neu! and Popol Vuh.
Luzifers Ghilom has a driving rhythm and some fantasy language that sounds perfect to the music. The time sig changes are terrific on this track and it focuses on bassline embellishments and manic vocal intonations.
Moving onto the side long 20 minute epic Phallus Dei the album becomes an improvisational delight. The track goes forever but with enough variation to maintain interest. It has some dark atmospheres and begins with soaring guitars and caterwauling vocals. The ethereal soundscape builds into ominous nightmarish textures. The violins are especially unsettling like a horror movie soundtrack with someone being stalked by a killer. The sound breaks finally after a free form passage, into pulsating bass and percussive shapes. The quick tempo is full of urgency and the echoed vocals are heard as a fuzzed guitar solo takes off. The tension is created with frenetic percussion and duel soloing improvised to the max. Eventually it settles into ghostly echoed cries and some spine chilling organ. The tribal rhythms break into a fractured time sig and twin violins. There is a more peaceful sound and it even lunges into a psychedelic jig. The duel tom tom soloing section is full of primitive sounds, like some bizarre ancient ritual. It is quite unsettling to hear the expressionist wails and cries but this was an innovation rarely heard on vinyl in this era. Finally the guitars lock in again and drive the track along with vibrant melodies. After about 15 minutes the song turns into a whimsical sound like a spooky Irish jig merging with ruptured violin solos.
This album is a terrific debut full of daring and experimentation and one of Krautrock's shining jewels.
It's still very much a late '60s head-trip. Expect to hear a lot of psychedelic jamming and silly voices (note the whacked-out konnakol scat in "Luzifer's Ghilom"), all of it top heavy in studio reverb and colored with an unmistakable shade of anti-establishment rage, hardly surprising in Germany so soon after the horrors of World War II. You can hear it in the first angry downbeat of the album opener "Kanaan", and in the lysergic military march of "Henriette Krötenschwanz". This is music that could not possibly have come from any other country or era.
Some of the more free-form passages take their cues (like a lot of supposedly but not really Anglo-free Krautrock) from PINK FLOYD's "A Saucerful of Secrets", released one year previously. More surprising are the elements of what might be called electrified Bavarian folk music, hidden between the chords of "Dem Guten, Schönen, Wahren" (which also includes one of those quintessentially cross-eyed guitar solos that were a hallmark of the German underground in 1969), and during the epic twenty-plus minute title track: one of the best of Krautrock's many side-long jams.
The latter example is likely a credible facsimile of a typical ADII concert from the time, minus the liquid lights and copious pot smoking (the lack of which only improves the experience, at least to this particular square pair of ears). Even at its most improvisational the music has some form, marking a huge leap forward from the otherwise totally unstructured noise of the other Amon Düül.
But the band never did shake itself entirely free from its hippie roots, and the insecure line- up throughout their long, confusing history might have been a legacy of the group's early communal lifestyle. As was the admirable democracy of their sound: among the eight credited musicians here (with two additional guests) no one is allowed to hog the spotlight, although the wordless (and often tuneless) vocals of Renate Knaup merit special attention.
For newcomers to the collective soundworld of Amon Düül (as I was only recently) it might be easier to start later in the band's discography, and only afterward work your way gradually back toward this beast of an album. Consider it an invaluable time-capsule snapshot of the German counterculture at Stunde Null, Hour Zero, when an entire generation turned its back on an ugly past and tried to write its own rules, musically and otherwise.
COLLABORATOR PSIKE Team
I have to say that this caught my off guard since my only reference to this band upon hearing this was their second album YETI. I actually like this one a lot better and this has to go down in my book as one of the wackiest and most fun albums of the whole 60s psychedelic scene. Unlike many, I actually really like the spooky ghost haunting sounds of the title track. Once again it reminds me of the title track on SAUCER FULL OF SECRETS. Really cool avant-garde psych freakout complete with that signature bass sound. 4.5 rounded up
3.5 stars
After the split of the German collective AMON DÜÜL, the musician ex-members reunited to form one of the craziest and most creative krautrock band ever, AMON DÜÜL II. Gorged with multiple western and eastern influences, "Phallus Dei" is their first opus, and also one of their most experimental, inventive and psychedelic records. Exotic and mystical sonorities are partly due to the presence of their fellow countrymen EMBRYO's Christian Burchard and POPOL VUH's Holger Trülzsch as guests, but the identity of the band is already strong. Since the first notes of "Kanaan", you know you're in for something special. The music sounds like an incantation ritual for a mythological god in an ancient temple. It also contains a slight Indian feel. Simply unreal! The freaky "Dem Guten, Schönen, Wahren" is quite haunting with its weird voices. "Luzifers Ghilom" displays an esoteric ambiance similar to "Kanaan", however rock-ier and more tribal. This nice piece incorporates Indian vocals and possesses an unique depressive finale. "Henriette Krötenschwanz" is the shortest track and not a very necessary passage too.
However, the longest and maybe also the weirdest composition of AMON DÜÜL II is the title track. Beginning with a nightmarish atmosphere and creepy voices, it continues on a long psychedelic journey into unknown lands. The violin and tribal bongos take you all around the world, you don't know where you are anymore. The finale is just mesmerizing. This 21 minutes mastodon can be a bit harsh to enter, the overall is not very accessible and lacks coherency. Nonetheless, it contains cool passages where the listener can catch up and is finally pleasant.
As one of the first krautrock albums, "Phallus Dei" unveils a novel and unique style, mixing mystical, rock, psychedelic, incantatory and eastern sonorities. Maybe this can be considered as one of the first records of the so-called "world music" genre, as it displays a long journey through different continents. The other important krautrockers strongly incorporating exotic influences to their compositions are EMBRYO and POPOL-VUH, who are represented in this disc by one invited member. A coincidence? I don't think so.
For a first release, "Phallus Dei" is really innovative and groundbreaking. Although not always accessible and still bathed in freak'n'roll jams of the late 60's, it's nice to hear this mixture of different musical landscapes. Not the best place to start with to discover AMON DÜÜL II, as this is their most experimental and weirdest efforts. But don't miss it if you want to hear something original. Essential for krautrock, psychedelic or mystical music fans.
Fortunately, the minor flaws will be quickly corrected for the next opus...

iPad App Available Worldwide and Website Update
I'm happy to inform you that our update of the Wormworld Saga App for iPad got approved by Apple and that the app is now available worldwide! You should find it in your local iTunes App Store now by simply searching for "Wormworld".
I'm really sorry for the delay that this caused for a lot of you. But we reasoned that it would be better to wait a few days instead of presenting you a potentially flawed experience of the Wormworld Saga App. I hope that you will enjoy the app now.
By the way, you all would help to promote the app tremendously by giving it a rating or by even writing a review in the App Store. These things are very important to get the app to places where it receives better recognition.
And there's other news, too! I updated the Wormworld Saga Website to reflect the launch of the app and to prepare for the fact that there will be two chapters soon. This is the first update of the website since December 2010. It really was about time!
I got a lot of stuff out of my way now and I'm finally able to concentrate on Chapter 2 again. Next week Frankfurt Bookfair will occupy me for some days though. By the way: there will be an official Wormworld Saga Event at the Tokyopop booth (hall 3.0, booth K834) on Saturday 15th October at 1:30pm (13:30) and I will do some signing afterwards. I'm really looking forward to that! Maybe I'll see some of you there?

I got a late start up the mountain due to working late the night before. Hiked with a buddy of mine who went a lot slower then I anticipated. Hit the incline at 8:45. The incline and most of the Barr trail to Barr camp is clear. Occassionally small patches of ice/hard packed snow. From Barr camp to the A-frame the enitire trail is hard pack snow with a thin layer of ice. I only had hiking boots on and struggled a few times. Microspikes would eliminate any slipping at all but aren't neccessary. The trail was clearly visible from previous hikers and I had no problem following it. If you step off the trail the snow is about knee deep and you will sink. Can't say how the trail is above treeline because I didn't go past it. I made it to the A-frame by 3 and ran most of the way down so I wouldn't be on the moutain after dark and my buddy turned around at Barr camp. |
