Cicada Records ?– C001 1985 Norway Original Issue
Track A1 is the original soundtrack to "Gasherbrun, die leuchtende Berg" (English translation: The Dark Glow of the Mountains), Werner Herzog's 1984 documentary about Reinhold Messner (the German alpinist who first ascended Mount Everest alone, without any medical assistance, in 1980).
Recorded at Quadrat Studio, München, March-June 1985
Pioneers of German "krautrock" music, Popol Vuh was the creature of Florian Fricke (1944-2001). The first album "Affenstunde" (1970) is an early jaunt into electronic music with its massive use of the Moog synthesizer as well as added percussion. "In Den Gärten Pharaos" (1971) experimented with a fusion between electronic and organ sounds, creating an intense, almost religious ambient music. From "Hosianna Mantra" (1972) on, Popol Vuh abandoned the electronic medium to develop a personal avant-garde progressive rock music. Florian Fricke died in 2001 in his sleep.
