Popol Vuh - Spirit Of Peace (1985)


The 16th album from this German band.

The band was now as trio with a lineup of piano, acoustic guitar and vocals.
Two guest musicians helped out with electric guitars.

The trio was Daniel Fichelscher, Renate Knaup and Florian Fricke. These are legends in the scene.

The band has released albums also after their best period in the 1970s. A lot of these albums are movie soundtracks. In this respect, they went down the same route as Goblin from Italy.

This is to my knowledge not a movie soundtrack. It is an independent release with nothing else to support.

The music is some sort of new-age chanting and music. It is very very pedestrian and these forty minutes are pretty much bereft of any dynamics and ideas. It is one idea throughout. One theme, one idea.

I am finding it hard to find anything positive to take away from this album. The theme here is half decent but nothing more than that. This is an album best forgotten and ignored.

1.5 points
