s/d popol vuh

lol this "play popol vuh albums in a church" thing is weird! is this a specifically popol vuh thing, or do they do other artists? i guess the tangerine dream pic suggests they do. i guess i can imagine going ...

is that milan show a decent recording?

i saw mention of an upcoming ash ra tempel one somewheres

tylerw - its kinda hissy and muffled

He's used to Velvets bootlegs, that won't bother him!

They're organised by these guys : http://www.sonic360.com/
I think they were talking about doing Ash Ra Tempel too maybe? Easier than organising a tribute band...

Who am I kidding, I'm already downloading it. Thanks for the link!

i love popol vuh tons and tons and tons but i couldn't imagine going to sit in a church and drink beer to hear one of their records.

Finding someone who can play like Manuel Gottsching might be tricky...

i can imagine going to sit in a church and smoke w33d to hear one of their records ... are there rules about that?

You'd have to ask the vicar. Hey, it's in Hoxton...

Yeah, the vicar will roll one for you on the way in

now you're talkin

It's called a camberwell carrot because it was invented in camberwell and it resembles a carrot.

Love that first cover- it's a Herzog megamix!

That first comp pictured above was my introduction to PV, I'd actually recommend it as a good starting point.

both of those covers are intense!

Die Grosse Ekstase die Bildschnitzers Steiner (The Great Ecstasy of the Woodcarver Steiner) (director: Werner Herzog, 1973)
This is a typically idiosyncratic Herzog documentary on the Swiss show jumper, Walter Steiner. Features some lovely Popol Vuh music, music which I’ve yet to hear on any album – damn it!

Has any of the music for this ever been released? It drives me crazy that I can't find the main theme for this film anywhere.

Nice-looking boxset, though it's just five of the SPV soundtracks and no bonus tracks:

**Super luxurious, Limited edition 5CD collector's box including 98-page hardback book** The divine music of Popol Vuh is inextricable from the Werner Herzog films it soundtracks. German label SPV have compiled their body of five full length cinematic commissions Heart of Glass (1976), and the Klaus Kinski-starring Aguirre (1972), Nosferatu (1979), Fitzcarraldo (1982) and Cobra Verde (1987) in one beautiful box set. Scoring Herzog's 'Aguirre', Popol Vuh, lead by Florian Fricke, established a longstanding relationship with the director, providing him with a milestone of electronic music which is still named as a masterpiece to this day. Fricke's innately moving compositions presaged the electronic ambient and new age genres, incorporating avant-garde classical, religious music, prog and krautrock themes into a substantial, harmonically rich sound. As fellow krautrock pioneer Klaus Schulze says "Here, he went on to create a new world, which Werner Herzog loves so much, transforming the thought pattern of electronic music into the language of acoustic ethno music" perfectly reflecting the films inherent themes of humanity, religion and nature. Over the next fifteen years Fricke's musical evolution was charted by his work for Herzog, weaving increasingly elaborate instrumentation into the electronic fabric of his compositions. Between his captivating choral work for Nosferatu, the operatic classicism of Fitzcarraldo, or the breathtaking lushness of Cobra Verde, Fricke and Popol Vuh inspired a generation and re-defined the art of the soundtrack. This box set is a tremendous testament to his accomplishments - grab one while you can.

vinyl box of hard to find stuff, please!

pleeeeeease
that i would buy

a box of 5 albums i already have with a book? only if i had a gift card that needed to be spent. lovelovelove these albums but i already have them and i'm not crazy enough to double up on cds.

^

Aguirre is the only own I already own out of those five.

Same here, though the fact that they're all on Spotify makes me substantially less likely to shell out £40. It does look nice though.

yeah kinda want this -- don't have cobra verde or heart of glass. box is not terribly expensive, given that it's "super luxurious"

already have most of these, curious about the book but not enough to buy it

coeur de verre is one of my favorites of all of their records -- get it immediately!

Yes, I have heard it.
