Popol Vuh - Improvisation (1971)

Very nice clip of Popol Vuh in the electronic era. Florian Fricke on the moog modular that would later be owned by Klaus Schulze.

Very nice film style too...

Just a comment. I will delete all negative hateful religious remarks....

Late 60s/early 70s Germany produced some of the most creative and vital music of all time. The Krautrock bands influenced modern mainstream music in profound ways that most of the audience are totally unaware of. It's such an injustice that the musicians of that time aren't better known today, and even worse that most people would dismiss it all as atonal rubbish.

Check out Stars Of The Lid.

Some here said this was an excerpt from Affenstunde, but it also struck me as strongly resembling the body of In den Garten Pharao, the first track on the eponymous album, at least in structure. Wish the video had shown more of the performers themselves. Thanx so much for this!

The bit about the Moog Modular is a great little anecdote. You're doing it right.

De acuerdo amigo! Yo tambien soy del D.F. y nuestra cultura Indio suena tanto por esta pieza Aleman. Ha escuchado de Vytas Brenner? Era un talento immenso de Venezuela durante la epoca de los 70s, al mismo tiempo que el Krautrock se subio.....Saludos desde Chicago.
