Amon Düül UK

Amon Düül (UK) was the British splinter of the German krautrock group Amon Düül II that was active during the 1980s. The band released four original studio albums during their career, and one compilation. The band was initially named Amon Düül II, then Amon Düül - the (UK) designation was later added by fans to differentiate this lineup from the earlier one.

The band was formed in 1981 by guitarist John Weinzerl and bassist Dave Anderson in Wales, both of whom had been members of Amon Düül II, and featured drummer Guy Evans from the British progressive rock band Van der Graaf Generator, with Julie Waring on vocals.

Four Amon Düül (UK) releases have now been remastered and reissued as of August 2008.
