Popol Vuh, Florian Fricke - In the Gardens of Pharao / Aguirre (1971)

This reissue includes the complete contents of two Popol Vuh classics, 1971's In den Gärten Pharaos and 1974's Aguirre. In den Gärten Pharaos ("In the Gardens of Pharao") was the first true work of "sacred music" by Florian Fricke. Consisting of two extended works (the second of which was recorded live), his mixture of electronics and church organ with assorted winds and percussives conjures up visions of deep, mystical emotion, marking the dawn of new age music, and still today is a wonder to behold. Though Aguirre jettisoned the electronics in favor of piano and electric guitar, its six lengthy pieces are nevertheless quite atmospheric and meditative.
