"Känguru is the third album by Guru Guru, released in 1972 on the Brain label. It was produced by Conny Plank and features the 'classic' Guru Guru line-up of Ax Genrich (guitar), Uli Trepte (bass) and Mani Neumeier (drums, vocals). Känguru is basically made up of the same ingredients as its two predecessors Ufo and Hinten, which were released on Rolf Kaiser's Ohr label in 1970 and 1971. Känguru is pure Krautrock, the album contains 'only' four tracks, all between 10 and 15 minutes long. But the band moves away from the disorganized chaos of the previous two albums and gives the songs more structure, reducing the amount of heaviness. At the same time, the humorous component increases, see for example Mani Neumeier's spoken word in the introduction of 'Immer lustig.' In short, Känguru is a Krautrock gem."
