Description:

At the end of the 1970s while Disco, Punk and New Wave introduced new standards, Popol Vuh produced one of their absolute highlights with â??COEUR DE VERREâ? (1977). After the more explicit (raga) rock album "Letzte Tage, letzte NÃ¤chte", they released â??COEUR DE VERREâ? (Heart of Glass), an album in the same style and with the same intensity, but with even more refined and subtle arrangements. This was their first all-instrumental release since 1973â??s Hosianna Mantra. The album was recorded in a smaller line-up with Fricke and Fichelscher; guest musician Matthias von Tippelskirch played flute, Al Gromer contributed flute and sitar. The compositions have unprecedented dynamics with a deep, hypnotic effect, created by irresistible trance-like ambient rock effects. It was hardly a surprise that Werner Herzog chose the music as the soundtrack for his feature film "Heart of Glass." Herzog claims that almost all the actors performed the entire film under the influence of hypnosis. Subsequently, this album was released as the soundtrack to the film. â??COEUR DE VERREâ? proves that Popol Vuhâ??s intense soundscapes can flourish even without vocals. Interwoven with influences of eastern world music, an unmistakably rich progressive rock sound emerged. Heavy, groovy guitar patterns dominate on â??HÃ¼ter der Schwelleâ?? and â??Der Rufâ??. "Das Lied von den hohen Bergen" and "Singet, denn der Gesang vertreibt die WÃ¶lfe" are another two brilliant pieces fusing world music and rock. The atmospheric bonus track "Earth View" serves as the epilogue. The motif, which slowly builds over repetitions, is an ambient solo composition by Florian Fricke from 1977. -

CD reissue. Born as Florian Fricke's brainchild, Popol Vuh needs little introduction, the band stayed active between the late 1960s and late 1990s (until Florian's passing in 2001). Regarded as pioneers in avant-garde German electronic music, their early works practically laid down the foundations for 'Kosmische Muzik' (Space Music) with the then new sounds of the Moog synthesizer joined with ethnic percussion.
