I was looking for his Mozart album but it's nowhere :)

These guys do soundtracks for several of Herzog's films and they are great at it. The tracks to 1979's Nosferatu are eerie and perfect for the film. Beautifully done.

It says Florian did the music for Rescue Dawn, but that movie was released 7 year’s after his passing away- interesting. Popol Vuh did 1/2 the music for at least in all the Thomas Mauch-Herzog-Fricke-Kinski collabo’s (only saying half cuz hearing other music within a scene / maybe you’ll hear Monteverdi or something amid the Vuh tracks, besides that collaboration- At leasst 1/3rd/4th of film’s the first 30 years of Herzog’s filmography included Florian Fricke

this is wonderful. The track is part of the title track from their 1970 debut lp "Affenstunde".

calm, cool, the isness of sound transcends into image. what inspiration

Mitici i miei Popol Vuh 🖤

It is not very often that music reminds me that I have ears, this is one of those moments.

I've been coming here since they uploaded this video it's amazing 15 years has passed, and this is still as fresh as ever. whenever I am having musical writers block I just come to something like this and it always puts things in perspective. surrender and the sound will come to you

In my opinion the music in this clip lies somewhere between the first and the second album (In den Gärten Pharaos) soundwise. Not as cut up and un-melodic as the highly experimental pieces on the first more avantgarde-oriented album, but more in the droning eastern tinged wein of their second one. This is so good!!!

thank you donald from 15 years ago, hope you are doing well in sweden.

Krautrock and other great prog rock music from 60/70s is being brought back to life over KZread, we can already feel that influence coming to life with some of the new bands that are showing up all over the world, which have very similar sound and are really pushing over the limit of what mainstream audience was confined, people are not even aware of these bands since media don't give a fuck (same as in 60/70s) but they are here already. For example channel Stoned Meadow of Doom is a good start...

Florian is a Deva guiding us now! Great stuff, Transcendental.

The music is from the last part of Affenstunde, the first album. It makes more sense when heard as part of the whole recording - a journey from darkness into light. Apparently inspired by the film, 2001: A Space Odyssey. I love this video and wish there were 10 hours more of Popol Vuh from this period.

That opening shot is wild. What a fun clip.

Popol Vuh made consistently great music for over ten years

i LOVE this band ... all the iterations of it. truly unique vision and art. the world has always been a better place for them being here. thanks for sharing! eternitypoet

what a great video, good recording and excellent music, thank for the uploading.

A great documentary of an era. A spiritual game without frontiers. Claudio Milano

thank you for posting this, LOVE Popul Vuh!

Guys just thought I'd mention, since yesterday seems like a few of my videos are getting taken down for "copyright violation"... however I am told that the family of Florian are happy about this one being here. Indeed I've had many posts from the artistes themselves about the videos and how they love the fact they are reaching a new audience (selling new/old CDs, gigs and so on) because of it... so I guess its more to do with the publishing companies...

Sounds of sunrise at Stone Henge Summer Solstice Celebration back in the 70's... Beautiful and resonant together with the huge standing stones

I just recorded a short piece, in honor of this video. Called it "Galactic Humaya, space invaders". Thank to all artists who inspire each other, and use our gifts to create our planet's harmonic overtone! I will post up my inspired piece soon. Ollin

Just discovered Florian Fricke recently on a video called, "Sodom and Gomorrah" by Alessandro Bavari. I've not come across a more twisted collaboration than this - pure genius!

Werner Herzog found the perfect composer to put into music what he (Herzog) put into images.

Awesome!!!

This is amazing! I always look at the picture on Popol Vuhs first album (Affenstunde) to get the vibe of the moment so to speak. This is the first time I see live material from the same era .Purely amazing!!!! I am speechless...

I have fallen in love with their music.

indeed, beautiful music,and i want also to notice that its one of the best videos that i ever seen, plain, minimalistic and very hipnotic.The point probably that this video take you inside of music. Best regards to one who made this video and to one who put it in utube

Beautiful...

Beautiful.

Some here said this was an excerpt from Affenstunde, but it also struck me as strongly resembling the body of In den Garten Pharao, the first track on the eponymous album, at least in structure. Wish the video had shown more of the performers themselves. Thanx so much for this!

truly wonderful

thanks for posting this, dude.

Was das alles so gibt... Ist ja enorm!

Amazing!

Perfect! The keyboards don't have the dated feel/sound like most music of the 60s/70s/80s.

Those of you who like this also want to check out Terry Riley. "Persian Surgery Dervishes" and the "Poppy Nogood all night flight" b-side on his classic "Rainbow in Curved air" (which I think is rather dreadful, since i am into darker, more haunting and eerie tones). I just came to think of Terry Riley so much when hearing this.

still love it!!

gnarly, thanks dude

And that modular synth helped Tangerine Dream take the music to a whole different level.

incredible.

Looks like something from a Jodorowsky film, love it.

Thanks STG! ;-)

Absolute treasure

Lovely stuff :-)

No problem keep blabbering away :-) Big fan of electronics and ethnics...

Beautiful. Sounds like the back end of Affenstunde.

Late 60s/early 70s Germany produced some of the most creative and vital music of all time. The Krautrock bands influenced modern mainstream music in profound ways that most of the audience are totally unaware of. It's such an injustice that the musicians of that time aren't better known today, and even worse that most people would dismiss it all as atonal rubbish.

danke - eine kleine Zeitreise

love that old MOOG III

haha... horses for courses... I love this track... I also love early synth music

Thank you Thank Thank you Bliss

Classic!

Theres a difference between noodling and playing. Noodling is when theres no thought involved... Theres a certain vibe going on here with the indian like drone and a real nice repeating arpeg pattern, the congas and the indian-esque lead. Wether the guy went from mayan myth to christianity is irrelevent to me. All I can say is that it floats my boat and has been an influence on me without me having to do drugs or anything... :-)

This beautiful peice of music could be the soundtrack to one of my favorite books...Olaf Stapladon's cosmic masterpeice Starmaker.

very well said. I am a big fan of bands and artists ranging from Godspeed you black emperor to notorious B.I.G., not trying to claim any elitism in name dropping merely stating that I can hear A LOT of where the bands I love have gotten their inspiration from in this sort of music. If you haven't already, check out a band called Grails.

You are so right about Persian Surgery Dervishes. I would say PSD is way more minimalist (which explains why I can easily fall asleep listening to it). This tune from Popol Vuh has more variability but is indeed similar. I wish there was more classic synth just like this. Plus I'd love to find this track in stereo!

No idea... I got it from a WDR special on german rock music.. amazing what they have in the archives...

wow, check out this early early experimental dreamy and tribal electronica. fro germany 1971.

Fassbinder was a German director who made most of his films in the 70s, including Ali: Fear Eats the Soul. Wenders is still around and he did Paris, Texas. Riefenstahl was a famous German documentary director who did Triumph of the Will. Ophuls, Lubitsch and Sirk were American but came from Germany. Schlondorff did The Tin Drum.

Several Popol Vuh compositions appears as soundtracks from Werner Hertzog movies such as "Aguirre the Wrath of God", "Nosferatu", "Fitzcarraldo", and also I think it was with "Green Cobra". Herzog, was one of the initiators of the Neoexpresionist German Cinema which started at the end of the sixties and expanded until the beginning of the eighties.

Pretty cool. Popol Vuh is the Mayan story of creation

the first two from the 1970-72 period... check allmusic for the details...

eaaaaaa!!!!

Is this part of a larger video? Where can I find more of this?

what about the video guy. amazing.

First two LPs are much like this, then they got more into acoustic instruments as in the Kyrie clip. Great band, don't think they played live much...

@orangefunk It's great to see this online. Let's share the world. It's funny how companies will push what they sell at their convenience and for free but, when it's convenient for you to consume their product, they'll want to charge for it. They don't sell cultural products but the satisfaction of certain cravings instead!

Thankyou for the video. I've been interested in this music genre for a while now. Can especially. Electronics and hypnotic beats (I've just discovered Boredoms - they are tribal beat(Seadrum)/krautrock explorers). Being a Herzog fan - this video does have that contemplative/meditative/reflective quality that some scenes in Herzogs early films have. Was this a Herzog music video?

you sure? I thought they only ever did one live gig and that was in Munich... though maybe that was just a certain line up of Popol Vuh (with Djong?)

not off any CD/LP. Its an improv made for TV in 1971... though their first two LPs do kinda hint at this sound..
