1979 Die Nacht der Seele
KRAUTROCK-
NEW CD
Affenstunde is the 1970 debut recording by composer and multi-instrumentalist Florian Fricke's Popol Vuh, named for the sacred Mayan text.
Affenstunde is somehow akin yet very different.
The music here all seems of a piece, despite the different selection titles and the single percussion piece on the set.
The sheer momentum of the title cut, which closes the album and integrates spacious electronic soundscapes, ever deepening tonalities, found taped choral vocals whispering in the background, and percussion is one of the most provocative pieces to come from the Krautrock generation.
This is an auspicious debut, which holds up wonderfully in the 21st century.
13th album, from 1979, ("The Night Of The Spirit"). DjongThe 1st & 13th albums by this great group. These excellent and hard to locate versions of most of Popol Vuh's classic works are markedly superior to the more common Spalax versions, as they generally boast better sound, and most of these feature two full albums! Affenstunde is the only release by them to feature electronics, while Der Nacht has Djong Yun and Renate Knaup back again with the duo ofFricke/Fichelscher. [High Tide]
