The music of Popol Vuh is inextricable from the Werner Herzog films it soundtracks. Scoring Herzog's 'Aguirre', Popol Vuh, lead by Florian Fricke, established a longstanding relationship with the director, providing him with a milestone of electronic music which is now commonly acknowledged as a masterpiece. Fricke's innately moving compositions presaged the electronic ambient and new age genres, incorporating avant-garde classical, religious music, prog and krautrock themes into a substantial, harmonically rich sound. A

As fellow krautrock pioneer Klaus Schulze "...he went on to create a new world, which Werner Herzog loves so much, transforming the thought pattern of electronic music into the language of acoustic ethno music" perfectly reflecting the films inherent themes of humanity, religion and nature. Over the next fifteen years Fricke's musical evolution was charted by his work for Herzog, weaving increasingly elaborate instrumentation into the electronic fabric of his compositions.

This box set of remastered LP's offers some of those albums for Herzog on new vinyl editions for the first time in years, alongside some of Popul Vuh's other best known work.
