LA RECENSIONE

How long does it take to make forty minutes?

How many minutes does it take to make time?

How long does it take for time not to be?

In the evening, I always set up for my ghosts

which stand next to me without hurting anymore

Everything unfolds gently,

no pin pricks,

no psychic war.

They start a chat

hint at a smile....

Then we listen to this record...

 No one before Fricke had created rock music as a means of spiritual ecstasy.

 Popol Vuh have created something immense and unreachable, and it would be a shame if it were unknown.


By bigbigkeys

 Before Brian Eno, before the term 'ambient' was applied to a musical genre, second only to the experiments of the Cologne School, there were Popol Vuh.

 The anthropological value of authentic musical expression becomes the heritage of humanity, recognized by few but great and true masters like Werner Herzog.


By Battlegods

 An excellent way to make the listener work with their own inner self, thus a true psychoanalysis.

 The idea being conveyed is to create a solemn, liturgical drawing, which then materializes in an effective crescendo with an organ that captivates the ear.


By CosmicJocker

 The human being is at least twofold; we are amphibians capable of wallowing in our waste or whispering to the stars.

 On top of a cliff, we gaze petrified at a monstrous maelstrom below; inhuman beauty that pins us to the rock where we await, at any moment, the end of the world.
