Another great album that I have heard about because the Fall covered one of their songs.

The 4 bonus tracks are actually my favourite parts of this ironically. 'I Hate You' & 'That's My Girl' are my favourites.

Punk that was about 10 years too early for punk, Krautrock before Krautrock had even been thought of... a brilliant album that was years ahead of its time. Favourite Track 'Oh How to do now'

Sorry to correct Mr. Music - they weren't German, they were American G.Is stationed in Germany. Ironically their proto-punk not only pre-dates the Stooges and VU, but they also kick-started the hypnotic, metronomic drumbeat found in the Krautrock of the early-mid 70s, got covered by the Fall and were as scary as shit live (check out the YouTube videos). The benchmark by which all modern bands should be set, if you ask me. The album's wonderful.

From Mr.Music 07/22/2008 16:22
Amazing to say but this one is a late find for me. But now its in the third place in My Chart.You ask me why? This album is made in 66, same year as Blonde on Blonde, before VU & Nico, before the Stooges came and the scene start to really rock, before the amazing krautrock albums. The Monks were a german band and u might say they were ahead of everyone. Angry and even violent as punk, motorik as the later krautrock and with a touch of naive avant-garde sound.Check it out!
