Popol Vuh are considered one of the most influential German “70s progressive rock” avant-garde acts of the Seventies and are also known as a a pioneering Band in Ambient and Progressive Rock Music. Their records "Affenstunde" (1971) and "In the Garden of Pharao" (1972), played with with the Moog Synthesizer, are claimed to be fundamentally influencing works in Electronica. In 1975, Fricke and Popol Vuh began a lengthy creative partnership with the most acclaimed German filmmaker Werner Herzog, which yielded to epic soundtracks for feature films including “Aguirre- Wrath of God”, “Fitzcarraldo”, “Nosferatu”, “Heart of Glass”, and “Cobra Verde”. As a consequence, Popol Vuhs Music got three times nominated for the Oscars. The name and the book POPOL VUH comes from the mythology of the Inca cultures and is the memory of the history of becoming humanity. Florian Fricke himself was reluctant to put his music in order. "Music is for me a form of law". He died on December 29, 2001 in Munich.

Essential
Pressing is perfect what can not be said gor some past issues especially Nosferatu collection. Disapointment is that bruder des schattens is not integral 16 min version just shorter cut version from movie.

Slight mark
Bought from momox who I've used in the past and always rated highly. 4 rather than 5 stars as there was a mark on one of the records I wasn't expecting. Looked like a scratch but doesn't impact playback. The box and music are excellent

A very nice set.
The sound is all right. The pressing is just fine. The music varies. I prefer the older synth-driven, not-very-sweet sound, but that's just me.I'd love to see more effort put into sleeves. These look cheap and thin.
