Originally released 1981
"Vortex" was the first and also the only album the band recorded in the 80th.
Renate Knaup, Chris Karrer, Daniel Fichelscher, Jörg Evers and Falk U. Rogener, and the "guests" Lothar Meid, John Weinzierl and Stefan Zauner met 1981 in the studio too try it again. With 'Vortex' they wanted to show, that there is still that old magic in the music of Amon Düül 2.
And they didn´t felt. Songs like 'We Are Machine', 'Vibes In The Air' or 'Holy West', are comparable with all the Düül-Classics. The song 'Wings Of The Wind' is a song that could be from the milestone album 'Wolf City'.
For the complete re-issue series of the Amon Düül 2 catalogue, the band recorded exclusive bonus material. "Vortex" featuring 18 minuntes of never before released music. The CD will be released as a deluxe edition, with enhanced booklet, featuring new liner notes and photos.
