(SPV - SPV08570182) Incredible soundtrack to an incredible Werner Herzog film, by an equally incredible band, although Popol Vuh was really just one man- Florian Fricke, one of the seminal names in German electronic music. Not to discount the guitar work of Daniel Fischelscher, who on this album excels himself with a range of textures not often wrung from the six-string sword. As usual, sloth and evocation of mood is the order of the day, as the trance-like drone mantras build up around the listener. And that lucky listener also gets a high quality digipak with bonus tracks, a special booklet detailing Popol's soundtrack work, and extensive liner notes with more information than previously available.. Hey, trip, dig the slowness!! (He's off again- Ed)Due In: 23/05/2005
