AMON DÜÜL: PARADIESWÄRTS DÜÜL
Paradieswärts Düül is the first Amon Düül incarnation. Although the band was still a little amateurish, this record is probably the most accomplished, and probably the one which features the cleaner production, among Amon Düül (I) records. The music can be described as a cross of US psyche and early prog. This album is very interesting because it shows German prog genesis: half progressive, half psychedelic with a strong west coast flavour for the experimental side.
