Hijack (it)
'Hijack' is the eighth studio album by the German band Amon Düül II, released in 1974. Departing from their earlier experimental and psychedelic style typical of krautrock genre, the album embraces more accessible elements, incorporating pop, glam rock, and jazz fusion influences. The album's opening track, 'I Can't Wait (Part 1 + 2)/Mirror,' exemplifies this shift, blending string-driven pop with bass-driven boogie and horn-filled psychedelic funk. Other tracks, such as 'You're Not Alone' and 'Explode Like a Star,' showcase the band's exploration of various musical genres, including minimalistic folk and space-pop, while 'Da Guadeloop' and 'Liquid Whisper' delve into more experimental territories. 'Hijack' has been recognized for its diversity and the band's ability to adapt to different musical styles while maintaining their unique identity.
