The second Amon Düül album bore marked similarities to the first for very good reason – it too consisted of tracks recorded at the 1968 jam session which ended up being the bulk of the group's released work. Instead of longer tracks, Collapsing instead consisted of snippets or songs that were the length of more conventional pop recordings, while sounding nothing like said recordings at all. The same sense of "instantaneous taping and damn the fidelity" is here as well, though at times things are much crisper than might be expected, as the piercing two-note guitar riff on "Booster" demonstrates. Though the album is also apparently credited to a mysterious outfit called Singvögel Rückwärts, of whom nothing appears to be known (a song is named after them, which actually has a clear introduction and plenty of post-production touches like backwards instruments and jarring edits), this sounds like Amon Düül straight up. Percussion here is even rougher than on Psychedelic Underground, feeling much more stripped-down and basic, while vocals are even more unintelligible or wordless (on "Bass, Gestrichen," only a low moaning is heard amongst the clatter, while the impossible-to-interpret grunts and wails on "Krawall" are weirdly fascinating). Evidence of later studio tweaking appears here as on Underground, with the muffled classical fanfare sampled to introduce "Tusch F. F." and the repeated vinyl skip-loop on "Lua-Lua-He" being two examples among several. "Nachrichten Aus Cannabistan" has one of the funnier such moments, when, 30 seconds in, the stomping rhythm is audibly slowed down as if a vinyl player were stopped, to be replaced by another drum pattern fading up in the mix. Very strange and interesting stuff, with a unique flavor to it that may never be recaptured. ~Allmusic
