Aguirre I (L'Acrime Di Rei)

Popol Vuh are considered as an influential German 70s Progressive Rock avant-garde act and are known as a pioneering band in Ambient-Electronica and Progressive Rock Music. Their records "Affenstunde" (1971) and "In den Gärten Pharaos" (1972), played with the Moog III Synthesizer, are claimed to be fundamentally influencing works in Electronica. They went down in the annals of German film music history with their soundtracks for legendary cinema classics like "Aguirre", "Fitzcarraldo", "Nosfeartu" and "Cobra Verde" by German film director Werner Herzog. 

In the light of a current rediscovery of the 1970s Ambient- Electronica and German Progressive Rock movement featuring bands like Kraftwerk, Can, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze or Harmonia, Popol Vuh is now the 2nd band, being remixed by today´s Electronica avant-garde, including treats by Stereolab, Mouse on Mars, Peter Kruder (Kruder & Dorfmeister), Thomas Fehlmann (The Orb), Moritz von Oswald, A Critical Mass, Alex Barck (Jazzanova), Roland Appel, Mika Vainio (Pan Sonic), and Haswell & Hecker. 

 Many thanks to the great interest and the great mixes by all of the above.
