s/d popol vuh

Also "Brüder des Schattens – Söhne des Lichts" and "Die Nacht der Seele" albums.

also there's probably a lot of roy montgomery albums you would enjoy

i’ve dabbled in him but didnt find anything i really loved right off the bat like this. i like the syncopated guitar parts and the trance-like feel. i’m all ears for recommendations though!

I think the music on side two of Spirit of Peace IS King Minos II

it definitely is- more layers and stuff obviously. love it

Same track yes, if not the same recording, which is why putting it as a bonus track on "Einsjager" and calling it "King Minos II" makes no sense.

new vinyl box. looks nice. 'Affenstunde' (1970), 'Hosianna Mantra' (1972), 'Einsjäger & Siebenjäger' (1974), 'Aguirre' (1976), 'Nosferatu' (1978) 2LP.

ooh, tempted to splurge on that. wonder how many volumes there'll be?

weird selection!

is it a weird selection? not that I'm saying you're wrong but from a purely personal and subjective point of view Affenstunde' (1970), 'Hosianna Mantra' (1972), 'Einsjäger & Siebenjäger' (1974), 'Aguirre' (1976) are the classic PV albums

That is indeed personal and subjective.

They’re all classic but those are a weird combo imo

I guess they wanted a blend of PV styles in the box?

I think they managed that!

Definitely managed that

Does anyone know what the bonus tracks are. Also, I never previously knew there was a 2LP version of Nosferatu. How is that?

iirc the 2nd LP is "On The Way To A Little Way"?

Bruder des Schattens is the rejected soundtrack and On the way... is the one that was actually used in the film iirc?

... not dead, please God.

jesus, i hope not. i'm just here to express gratitude and commune with my fellow adherents.

Phew, what a relief. And what a guitar player!

incredibly gifted player. been on a popol vuh marathon all day and his guitar parts in particular are making my spirit soar

OMFG I have a google alert to prevent scares of this kind and received no alert about his passing so PHEW!!!!

Amazing drummer as well. His sonic sensibility is so great imo.

Incredible guitarist, all-time #1 musical sidekick

you can hear that fur collar on Einsjäger if you listen carefully

pains me to say this but strict quarantine is a pretty great time to sink into some popol vuh eh?

my PV google alert yielded a quarantine "what are you listening to?" and i gotta say, this guy is otm!

i have listened to my two personal faves while walking with my dogs, a time-honored activity that always makes me feel good :)

I don't think I've ever considerd listening to Popol Vuh while standing up let alone walking.

oh man why did THIS never come through my google alert?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-UkhqvoQPU

that's a cover that i would probably recognize in like 3 notes and embarrass myself by yelling

i love to listen to popol vuh while walking but i also love walking

what are your two personal fav PV records ?

also shouting things that you should feel embarrassed about is standard protocol at union pool iirc

If I had to just go by the ones I choose to listen to the most, it's easy
Letzte Tage – Letzte Nächte
Herz Au Glas/Heart of Glass

Runners up:
Einsjäger und Siebenjäger
Agape-Agape

I haven't met one I didn't like but those are my personal faves

Forgot about Seligpreisung
That one is really good too, second tier

I love Seligpresung! "Selig sind die Sanftmütigen", especially if you play the whole album to build up to it, is one of the most joyous affirmations in song I've ever heard.

yeah and it’s rather nice to hear florian sing

since we're probably all trapped inside, I'll post another entry in my Popol Vuh travelogue from January 2019... listening to Die Nächt der Seele while hiking the Halemau'u Trail in Haleakelā National Park in Maui, and then pausing above the cloud deck over Ke'anae Valley, listening to Morgengruß:

that's the stuff, thank you

That’s right indeed

If a photo could sing it would sing PV

I think "Wo bist Du, der Du überwunden hast?" from Die Nacht der Seele is the best hiking jam of all time

to think I lived most of my life not knowing that until that day in Land's End

I heard ONE NOTE and said
NO! out loud in a room w my dog 😢

Noooooo not a car commercial!

aahahaha fuck

i always knew this would happen

lol I thought it was gonna be Letzte Tage – Letzte Nächte, so I'm very slightly relieved to have been wrong about that

I hope Fichelscher has been properly compensated

It's Engel der Gegenwart from the Herz aus Glas soundtrack... I wonder if all the actors in the Chevy commercial were hypnotized locals
