Various - Progressive German Pop Experience 2 (1973)

Progressive German Pop Experience 2 is a 1973 vinyl compilation released by United Artists Records to document West Germany's booming underground rock scene. This collection serves as a sequel to the 1971 compilation and introduces the movement's most daring musical groups. The recordings, made between 1970 and 1972, showcase a significant departure from traditional Anglo-American pop music toward experimental structures. Notable acts such as Can, Amon Düül II, and Embryo contributed tracks recorded at facilities like Dierks Studios. The album features a wide sonic range, spanning hypnotic avant-pop, heavy organ arrangements, and jazz-rock fusion. As a historical artifact, Progressive German Pop Experience 2 preserves the state of the progressive movement just before the mid-1970s boom of synthesizer-based music.
