Robert Calvert / Amon Duul - Urban Indian - Video
PUBLISHED:  Jan 10, 2010
DESCRIPTION:
One of the last recordings Robert made, this track was recorded at Dave Anderson's Foel Studios in 1987. Anderson and John Weinzierl were recording the latest Amon Duul album and asked Robert if he would like to get involved (Anderson having toured with Krankschaft the year before). Robert jumped at the chance, as Weinzierl recalls: "At the studio they had to hire two sound-engineers working continuously in 12 hour shifts each to keep up with Robert's creative pace.
During the sessions as we played along you could already hear it in the background: hack, hack, hack - Robert, hammering the lyrics into his typewriter which he handed out to us immediately.
Today he'd probably have a laptop..."
The album wasn't released until the year after Robert's death (1989), under the title "Die Losung" Weinzierl wasn't happy about the release, but that's another story...
