Amon Düül Paradieswärts Düül (LP)

(Ohr Records) 4 tracks

Paradieswärts Düül is the third album by Amon Düül. Amon Düül's only album for Ohr, recorded in 1970, was a visual piece of acid folk that gained cult status over the years. Ritualistic folk-rock, pastoral hippie songs, stoned jams, Eastern flavors, mystical passages and heavy, hypnotic riffing are markedly different from the epic, freak-out improvisations of early Amon Düül (Psychedelic Underground) or the complex, psychedelic, progressive works of Amon Düül II (Phallus Dei).

These were archival recordings made by another incarnation of Amon Düül, one that united members of both factions into a floating lineup that welcomed many guests, and released by R. U. Kaiser without the knowledge or permission of the musicians, most likely to catch up with the rising popularity of Amon Düül II.

All in all, a mythical recording with such underground classics as Love Is Peace; Snow Your Thurst Sun Open Your Mouth and Paramechanical World. Also included on our edition is the coveted ear single: Paramechanical World / Eternal Flow.
