I'm shocked that there are no comments yet for this great piece of music by a unique band. Their later albums were very different to the first two, but they all had a kind of otherworldly feeling, or as some people put it, 'spirituality'. So sad that their main man, Florian Fricke, died so young.
Hey amigo,i share your opinion .this Is AN incredible Mystic experience ,Is beyond music.shure One the most beautiful track ever conceived from (or by) human being,this Is pure ,real nirvana.from.Treviso Italy
Pretty astonishing to be able hearing a Moog modular on an experimental record from 1971. I mean jeez, there were only a handful of people worldwide with that sort of scrap money laying around to spend on a machine like that. Florian Fricke's Moog was valued at 800.000 DM (thats 1.4 Million Euro adjusted for inflation, let that sink in a for a second...). So how did he do it? He was supposedly from a very wealthy family. The Moog later got sold to either Klaus Schulze or Tangerine Dream, conflicting reports as to whom got it in the end.
Florian Fricke from the beautiful lake Bodensee - Florian from Lindau was a tipical example from a very normal German middle-class family, nothing special.... this first moog was financed from the income of other jobs from Florian, the movie scene and friends, today we would call it crowdfunding.... Florian was like a freeclimber - if you start, you always have to reach the top.... :) I miss you, you were a real friend and very special creative object from another spiritual galaxy.... your W. H. crew....
When the world crumbles, when the structures of a civilization falter, it is good to return to that which in history does not flex, but on the contrary recovers courage, gathers the separated, pacifies without bruising. It’s worth recalling that the genius of creation is also moving in an history devoted to the destruction 💥
So right. Their music always took me to places no other music did. Strange to me that so few other people wanted to go there - at least back then. I'm heartened to so some younger people discovering them through youtube.
Dont insult him... we all have opinions, but we must think before we type something mean to someone... Thegameroomblitz has the right to not like this, but you shouldn't say this isnt music, you should just say you dont like it.. thats it. And Daniel hintz, hes does not have problems with his brain.. he's just different. people RESPECT! please.. even on the internet... have a good life, both of you. peace!
Very gothic and eerie! Must have been an article on Joy Division (my absolute fave band at that time) in the NME back in the early 80´s, publishing Ian Curtis admiration for the films by Werner Herzog and the music by Popol Vuh. They defininetly had an influence on JD and other bands around that time.
Florian Fricke - pipe organ and Moog synthesizer Holger Trulzsch - percussion Bettina Fricke - percussion Jimmy Jackson - choir organ Frank Fiedler - Moog programming
F. Fricke, Trulzsch and Fiedler per the liner notes. Choir organ has to be Jackson because a) he owned the only one in existence and b) he played on all kinds of krautrock records with Fricke and friends of Fricke like Amon Duul II around that time. As for Bettina, it is generally accepted that she played on the early Popol Vuh records. She's in all of the admittedly few videos and band photos from that era, and there's definitely more than one percussionist on those records.
Very beautifull psychedelic deep-impact sound from the German pioneers of electronic music, called Popol Vuh and later Ash Ra Tempel! Popol Vuh was Mayas holy "manifest of the Council" where is told everything about all things (beginning, genesis, evolution, astrology until the end of time).... The Mayas had an incredible high level of consciousness, culture, astrology and spirituality, taken in count the ancient times.... even there existed thoughts about the beginning, we are calling today the "big bang theory", this incredible power-start (explosion and expanding - the times of inflation, light and darkness) of our universe from just a singular neutrino-quarks-dimension growing up to an hiperdimensional space with distances of trillions of light years: "In the beginning there was only empty space, quiet and silent, nothing moved.... suddenly everything began to quake with much tension, there was not only empty space anymore and the gods created the earth and all other celestial bodies (the Mayas thought that earth was the center of a kind of ciclic universe).... Finally the gods created (after all plants and animals) in the 4. attempt the humans (homo "sapiens" - our actual version of humankind) which were similar to the gods, they saw and understood nearly everything and knew perfectly how to satisfy the gods - but with time there occured some misunderstandings (today it would be the destruction of life conditions on earth, the ecologic catastrophe and the greenhouse effect), so the gods got angry and demanded sacrifices, sometimes even a lot of humans from all different classes of society, but normally they sacrified the prisoners and slaves (today the poors, outlaws and minorities etc.)".... Really INCREDIBLE level of advanced traditions and knowleges, in some aspects even on a similar level of modern science!
actually* you should say “I THINK this music is crap” “My opinion about this music is that it is crap” you cant just go pretending your opinion is a fact man chill
Well, one...this isn't progressive rock. Two, I don't understand the point of hating on other music when you can simply move on to something you can appreciate. For someone that claims to like weird prog rock, you really shouldn't talk about what is and isn't music....
honestly i beg to differ. sure, it definitely stretches the meaning of the word “song” but it is beautiful and not all ambient music has to have different things happen. ‘tis simply ambience. really beautiful ambience at that. have a nice day
A full power masterpiece. These massive organ chords + mellotron-like sound + the pedal note. Amazing,
it's not just music, it's the soul that vibrates

This is a masterpiece!! Florian Fricke was a genius....and Popul Vuh a sublime band!!!
I love listening to this with headphones to absorb everything
The greatest side of vinyl ever recorded .

I'm sure Terry Riley love so much this master piece
There Is another incredible gem of this group: Aguirre wrath of God expecially the First track "lacrime di Rey"
Me fascina este tema.
Los alemanes son unos genios, de verdad.
Empezar a escuchar krautrock fue la mejor decisión de mi vida.
Florian Fricke was a genius! Mindblowing Mystical Music! Most Powerful, Spiritual Recording of All Time! The Soundscapes of the Universe!
We can hear perfectly where Swans went to get inspiration in this most experimental phase of his career!
Indeed. Especially the Soundtracks For The Blind era
Absolutely! 👍🏼

@@thekingofmojacar5333 Thanks for this comment
The climbing and crowdfunding metaphors were great
20 minutes of sonic beauty.
very very well........................................................................
Been looking for this for decades, now here it is--love it: out of time, out of space and out of mind, sheer classic space music!
This is amazing music.

one of the most beautiful albums of all time

I didn't know Popol Vuh until I've heard this true Masterpiece of Music...

¡What an ambient that is created whit this -out of serie- music! Orgasmic. like a dream, like a fly in my own space...
A powerful masterpiece

I love the part when the cymbals come in.... sounds like rain.
This is what i call chaotic music.
Super!

@@JamieRiley1 damm this was long ago on my other account

cosmic masterpiece
amazing horizon of vibrations in my heart and memories in my mind, magic kraut
no greater heaven musically
superb

cet album a des vertus magiques ! à écouter la nuit....
twelve and this is the most amazing thing i’ve ever heard
This is beyond amazing & way ahead of the curve. I can even hear "Che" from Suicide.
RIP Florian
Here to melt the face off
You came to the right place.
Outra banda alemã incrível!
Musica senza tempo...no time no space...!!!
An interesting soundscape. It gets a thumb's up from me.
timeless
Classic, a brutal attack on the mind. It's pounding my thoughts, feelings and very soul to mere dust. Not of this UNIVERSE would be more apt.
this is ridiculous, so awesome
my god this is awesome!
Elegična poema...predivno :)
Prejaka stvar! Muzičari iz "Igra staklenih perli" mora da su slušali ovaj album. (uz Can, naravno)
beautiful
This song and Lucy leads to a cosmic rebirth
amazing.
Much love to you and yours.
Wunderbar!
word just cant describe it ;) we better dont even try it ^^. i aaaam in the muuuusic, thru the gardens of the pharaos I mooove...
Oh man, I have to get this CD. I wish there was a Krautrock music booth at a flea market in NJ.
I like ambient moosic
this is mental
Best comment on the whole of UA-cam !
...and the dream goes on...
great
O rock progressivo alemão é único.
This reminds me of Pink Floyd's "A Saucerful of Secrets", 1968. Sorry, I cannot spell. Otherwise a very heavenly and spiritual piece of music.
Great record too. And for what I see, your spelling is 100% correct. ❤️
It's more ambient, than krautrock.
That´s right.
Best regards
uma obra prima vuh do pool vuh.
Their sound track for 'Aguirre Wrath of God (1972) is awe inspiring :) check it out!
Fabian Patrizio They made soundtrack for this film.
GIANT ELF FIST love them
Even at 20 minutes, it's gone too soon.
Chevrolet brought me here
Watch my popol dedication
1:49
I've been searching for a Popol Vuh song, that said: "A mia sangre a sua sangre, siamo uno". (Something like that hahaha).
Anyone knows which song ls?
Something from Hosianna Mantra perhaps?
It's from the album "messa di Orfeo", the track is "Strofa 4", this mantra is mindblowing. Cheers man.
@@FlySparksVideo thats what i was thinking! but i might just be astonished by ah.

The music is crap.
You do not know ...maybe when you grow up.
actually* you should say “I THINK this music is crap” “My opinion about this music is that it is crap” you cant just go pretending your opinion is a fact man chill
People like this? Seriously? I'm a fan of some really weird progressive rock, but geez, calling this music is stretching the definition of the term.
go back to your pacman-music, kiddy
u got no sense for spiritual things.
im with you. literally nothing is happening here. theres actual real music that is spacey and ambient where shit happens occasionally.
@@albertfish69 did you even listen to it? There are several changes throughout this piece. I don't understand how you don't hear it.
Well, one...this isn't progressive rock. Two, I don't understand the point of hating on other music when you can simply move on to something you can appreciate. For someone that claims to like weird prog rock, you really shouldn't talk about what is and isn't music....
