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.

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

weird selection!
― valet doberman (Jon not Jon), Thursday, 11 April 2019 21:32 (five years ago) link
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?
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Thursday, 11 April 2019 21:44 (five years ago) link
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?
― stirmonster, Thursday, 11 April 2019 22:59 (five years ago) link
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?

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! http://www.brooklynvegan.com/heres-what-brian-cook-russian-circles-sumac-is-listening-to-in-isolation/

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

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

what are your two personal fav PV records ?

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

Forgot about Seligpreisung That one is really good too, second tier
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 25 March 2020 18:29 (four years ago) link
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.

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:

The use of the song in Herz aus Glas (starts at 32:47) shows that Herzog also knows that Popol Vuh make the best hiking soundtrack:

I know this might come across as a big ask, but someone might really enjoy it?
(Like, I made a similar request a few years ago for Tangerine Dream, and Elvis Telecom both graciously and enjoyably for both of us, went to town on it!)
Popol Vuh has a huge catalogue of which I'm familiar with only a tiny portion - I could dig through this thread for suggestions of places to dig further, but it is like 800 posts long.
Does any kind krautlover fancy making a Spotify playlist of about, 10-12 songs pointing where to dig further?
