About this episode

No Dogs is back to continue your musical journey through the vast, winding history of Experimental Rock. This time embarking on a brand new series with the intention to shed some light on an often misunderstood side of the experimental rock world - Krautrock!

It's time for the one and only, Amon Düül II.
