Paradieswärts Düül is the third album by the German band Amon Düül. With its careful songwriting structure, it sounded unlike any of the band's previous work. In contrast to the communal, free-form improvisations of the earlier Amon Düül albums, Paradieswarts Düül was recorded with a smaller, more stable lineup of musicians. The pastoral, folk-influenced sound of the record has been compared to the gentler work of American bands Love and the Velvet Underground. The first word of the title is a German construction meaning "paradise-wards", as in "towards paradise". The album was re-released on CD in 1996 by Spalax Records. This version added two bonus tracks, from the single "Eternal Flow / Paramechanical World" released slightly before the album. This same master was also used for the 1997 edition issued by Repertoire Records in Germany. Though the groups had split apart some years before due to differing musical aims, the album features contributions from Amon Düül II members John Weinzierl and Chris 'Shrat' Thiele on the track "Paramechanische Welt".
