Popol Vuh / Spirit Of Peace (2LP)

德式泡菜（Krautrock)場景中最低調的多產傳奇，神秘飄渺的第15張概念性專輯，融合西藏、南美、非洲等世界性音樂元素，猶如德式的阿福柔未來主義（Afro-futurelism)，多次受大導演韋納荷索欽點為電影指定配樂。

Limited double vinyl LP pressing comes with exclusive bonus tracks and screen-printed D-side （music is on three sides）. Includes insert with extensive liner notes. Born as Florian Fricke’s brainchild, Popol Vuh needs little introduction, the band stayed active between the late 1960s & late 1990s （until Florian’s passing in 2001）. Originally released in 1985, Spirit of Peace is the fifteenth album by Popol Vuh. The first track was used by Werner Herzog as original motion picture soundtrack for his documentary The Dark Glow of the Mountains. ‘Spirit of Peace’ is about making the journey into the destination and it truly achieves the meaning of the album title. ‘Yehung’ chants and beautiful intertwined mellow, yet complex guitars grooves make this album an ambient （or even a new age） masterpiece. Out of print since 1985 and never released outside of Europe, now back available as a gorgeously packaged expanded double vinyl edition.
