Popol Vuh always seemed to me to be more spiritual than the other German bands of the '70s. Especially the track off this album called "Abschied"....I was listening to that on the way home from work one day and cried, because I felt so much simple gratitude and love in it. Absolutely beautiful.

They're totally spiritually

I have more than 400 cd's and Hosianna Mantra is my favoured of all!

Popol Vuh ist so göttlich! Popol Vuh is so divine!

I read the popol vuh in highschool, I can tell this is no insult to the book, this is like a tribute. Hermosas canciones de Popol Vuh, hermosa fué la civilización Maya.

Un suono senza tempo, senza luogo, una catarsi che libera l' anima dal corpo, una voce della madre di tutte le cose che ci prende per mano e ci porta in emozioni che mai e poi mai ci lasceranno....un abbraccio a tutti i cuori che hanno amato Hosanna mantra, un giorno nel suo grande cuore ci incontreremo....Ciao Geppo.

Popol Vuh: 100% intellectual music and 100% alternative music! 5 stars!

you mean "spiritual" not intellectual

I can't believe how much on another level they were, their music just sounds so timeless, and yet it has a kind of progressive cinematic 70's feel to it.

This feels so comfortable, the room, music, the people - exactly the kind of "seventies" gathering I grew used to in the 70's. We were a different lot. Oh, how I miss the seventies, and the people I knew then.

magical voice, sounds and spirit rip florian

It's such a shame that there is very little footage available of them at all, but in a way it keeps the mystery. This is a stunning album, one of the best of the 70's.

Popol Vuh a banda predileta nas trilhas cinematográficas do Werner Herzog 👏👏👏

Pero que viajesote se Dieron estos pibes...

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. We have several Kyrie's in the Service Music section of Evangelical Lutheran Worship. They are in the Service Music section (#151-158). They are by: Dinah Reindorf, Franz Schbert & Richard Proulx, G.M. Kolisi, Avon Gillespie, Russian Orthodox, Plainsong, Marty Haugen, & Swee Hong Lin. Just thought I'd share.

"Kosmiche Musik" was the term coined in Germany for the wave of bands that begain emerging in the late '60s there, many of which had completely different styles and backgrounds, but all shared a strong experamental bent, and varying degrees of fondness for psychedelia. In Britain, the term "Krautrock" was used by the press for the more popular groups such as Can and Faust which made their way across the channel. Some German musicians still think of it as derogatory, and I can't blame them.

Wow!

For me- this is playing shaddows , clouds, and winds near Shigatze, Tibet...

my favorite band.

This is KOSMISCHE MUSIK !

He estado en los bosques,frente a las grandes piramedes mayas,en logares remotos observando las estrellas siempre escuchando popol vuh,ha macado mi vida para siempre. Y lo conoci viendo las peliculas de herzog y kinsky.

no words for this incredible band..only emotions..!

Unbelievably magical and evocative....

i'm here and i thank TINTORIA

just.... wow........ fabulous.

splendido! una vera gioia per la mente. om jaya namo vasudevajee !

I'm reading a book Popol Vuh and at the same time I listen to their music and it fits very well with all those pictures from the book

Rest in peace Florian Fricke,Connie Veit,Klaus Wiese and Robert Eliscu.💔

Best piece ever

Enjoy, why waste perious time and thought on such small matters, when this beauty is in the air and your head

what a beautiful moment.

Popol Vuh fits like a glove in Werner Herzog movies.

I have only just discovered these guys. Way before my time, but they are so dam good. I have got to get my hands on Hosianna Mantra.

liniquin - I'm at the other end of the time spectrum to you - have been listening to Popol Vuh for 30+ years. Their music remains as unique and as special as way-back-when.

Amazing, and by far my favorite era of PV...

in the music of PV there floats a kind of mist suitable for dreams and gentle drifts. A climate of rediscovered peace that we sometimes feel without knowing exactly why during certain summer nights! these artists builds a discourse of interiority, of breathing, who knows how to make room for silence.

I understand deeply what you're saying... seems to be past a thousand years from then

So beautiful

Thank you Thank you from one my all time Fav Albums wonderul thank you so much for posting this little gem

Υπεροχο!!!

@PabzGLRP This is why I say we should sort everything by time and place. Early 70s, Germany.

Nice style, intelligent and original, just like Mayans (beautiful and intelligent civilization, eventhough according to them our end is near).

Music of THE Soul. In my opinion they influenced (in particular sense the Singer) the great Artist Enya. Davvero un grande gruppo. Egidio

🤤🎶

Aside from both being German bands who incorporated electronic instruments into their music, I don't see Can and Popol Vuh as having much in common. I love them both but for very different reasons.

Oh Yun !

Nice

Popol Vuh is the name of the band.

@honeypower once music is labeled and packaged ...creativity becomes constricted

dope song, my fav. krautrock song has got to be 'Can - Halleluhwah' though

@palteonato No, cosmic music was Tangerine Dream or Cluster. This is early instrumental New Age!

mafaldiita, don't worry: popol vuh was a great, great band and they honored the Maya culture like no other. nobody could love maya as florian frieke did (popol vuh leader)

@andrewcramer13. You mean the other way around. This was 10-years before the Cocteau Twins.

this is so very hot.

@divinityboy likewise, i'm sure divine one!!

mi gustar escuchar rolon poca progenitora mucho bueno, ectasi coloidal de la reaccion sinergetica de la anorexia colombina.

@PabzGLRP When I get fancy about it, i just think, "early 70s Germany".

@KingCrimson776 agreed

I would, however, buy Polrock. :D

@Sandyhendry yup, popul vuh and most krautrock bands were very influenced by them

perhaps there are long time version of this video...

@fujivoo hey I love woprock

@divinityboy wasn't meant as reinforcement, but if it makes you feel better, then by all means, you're reinforced

Wonderful - didn't they work with Tangerine dream on Zeit?

Oooh, a bit creepy. I'm liking it.

@fujivoo I always say the same thing, can't understand these people obsessed with putting things into boxes

@fujivoo "alternative" was always a marketing term, it was created for that only purpose. when you talk about krautrock, you are referring to music that was made in a certain context under more or less the same premises concerning the making of the music. of course when that is developed by different people with different means the style results diverse, but the core remains. i think labellin is useful.

I disagree that Fricke's music was inconsistent. I think Popol Vuh left behind an amazing varied body of music, most of which is great stuff. Perhap you confuse inconsistency with diversity. It's true that Fricke attempted many different musical styles and not all of it was successful but it makes for a fascinating discography and many gems--Herz aus Glas and Nosferatu are just as good.

Wait a guy there playing a sitar. That explains the link.,

@robwyattfan can you suggest some of the electronic artists similar to popul vuh?

@fujivoo even Faust recorded one song called Krautrock, we all know that. I guess what happened to the "alternative rock" label didnt happened to "krautrock", cause all these german bands are too good and diverse that it makes it really dificult to banalize them into just one word and even harder to have new bands copying what they sound like and making "krautrock" just another musical industry repetitive style

interesting

Good to see early Yoko footage, thanks!

If anything, this genre has been labelled the most appropriately, detracting the least from their musical dexterity. The term is applied as they're all German rock bands of the post-war era, which has little do with their music; more their identity on an international basis. Much better than pinning them with a tag that reflects upon their overall sound, but I suppose that simply wasn't fathomable, due to the sheer breadth of each significant band's sound - they were all too experimental.

Looks like it was just 8mm stuff shot around Fricke's house or someone's studio. Very cool. Also: boners. Sorry, I just wanted to test out the audio preview thing.

when Nirvana, pearl Jam etc. became more popular in the late 80's early 90's, the industry began marketing new acts as "alternative, but all of a sudden, they all had to sound and look "alternative" according to the music industry record executives version of safe bland version of alternative thus killing the true meaning of the word..so when really diffierent sounding pop bands and rock bands rolled around, they didn't fit into that mold...all of a sudden..goodbye true creativity

Good point. But there are still creative artists/composers/bands from the 80s till now. Like buckethead and Steve Roach. Creative music still exists and always will. It just depends on the artist. If they do it for a philosophical idea or meaning then yes.

German Krautrock

yes, that totally proves it. I guess that must mean that deep down I'm probably a jehovas witness or something

Sounds like Cocteau twins!

Prog Rock? Neo Prog? Jazz? =S Help me!

Krautrock

It's similar to Indian classical music cos you have some repetitive looping stuff and then improvisations over the top. What is cool is that A.R. Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire) and other modern Indian composers got into synths and copied dance styles that were copied from Kraftwerk that were copied from Indian music that inspired Krautrock...That's just my BS theory.

no proper style... for some ... for others its surely an original approach of music ...popol vuh used many (ethnically and culturaly) different colours of music from their travelling Bag ...for and with the surprised silences of the others and me.

Krautrock is a broad term-- Faust is Krautrock- I personally detest Faust Popul Vuh is always pure emotion, pure wordless emotions thee only thing all Krautrock has mainly in common is it is all very new and innovative: Klaus Schulze Tangerine dream, Neu, Kraftwerk, Guru Guru, (dreaded) Faust, Cluster , Conrad Schnitzler, Ash Ra Tempel
