      Amon Düül
      Paradieswärts Düül
      1970

      Amon Düül began in 1967 as a radical political art commune of Munich based artists calling themselves, in part, after the Egyptian Sun God Amon; Düül has been cited as a character from Turkish fiction.

      The commune quickly attained cult status for its free form musical improvisations, usually performed around the happenings and demonstrations of the contemporary politicized youth movement. The orthodoxy within the commune had a highly liberal attitude to artistic freedom, valuing enthusiasm and attitude over artistic ability; membership was fluid; anyone who was part of the commune was part of the group. However a faction within was more ambitious, conventional and musically structured, leading to the inevitable split within the collective, which separated in 1969 into the components "Amon Duul I" and "Amon Duul II".

      Paradieswärts Düül is a 1970 psychedelic rock album by the German band Amon Düül. It was the final Amon Düül album to be recorded. In contrast to the free-form nature of the bulk of their output, it is a contemplative and pastoral affair that has been compared to the gentler work of American bands Love and The Velvet Underground. The first word of the title is a German nonce construction meaning "paradise-wards", as in "towards paradise".
