Phallus Dei was the first album by German band Amon Düül II. The Latin title translates into English as "God's Penis". The album was the result of the Amon Düül commune in Munich splitting. The album features layered guitars, abstract percussion, and chant-like vocals. It is often cited (alongside Can's Monster Movie) as the original Krautrock album.
It was reissued in 2001, digitally remastered, and contained five extra tracks: "Freak Out Requiem (I-IV)" and "Cymbals in the End".
The 2006 remastered reissue on the German label, Revisited Records, contains two bonus tracks, TouchMaPhal (10:17) and I Want The Sun to Shine (10:32). It does not contain the bonus material from the 2001 reissue.
