SING, FOR SONGS DRIVE AWAY THE WOLVES

Interesting collection prepared by Florian Fricke for American and world wide release on Milan label. Two new compostions - "Song of the High Mountains" in Oriental style and short ambiental track "Sweet Repose". Other compositions are from the albums "Coeur de Verre", "Seligpreisung", "Einsjager & Sebensjager" but with the titles in English. They are presenting "raga rock" period of Popol Vuh, i.o. rock with Oriental roots - instrumental tracks with repetitive mantric feelins and long epic compostion "Einsjäger & Siebenjäger" ("You Shouldn't Awake Your Beloved Before It Pleases Her ") with the vocals by Djong Yun. In company with the new young (for that time) member of Popol Vuh - Guido Hieronymus - Florian Fricke remixed old compostions, partly rerecorded them, added keyboards and bass parties. As a result familiar for old listener of Popol Vuh music sounds more tight and polished. If you like authentic sound of the 70s - "Sing, for the Song Drives Away the Wolves" wouldn't impress you. I'm the man of the 80s - so I like this collection.
