4 stars One more time an emotional & "spiritual" musical recording by the legendary Popol Vuh. Florian's Frike music has never been so hugely inspired by the "sacred" soul of religious music (excepted in the deeply meditative "Hosianna Mantra"). This album oscillates between massive ritualist "world" choir parts ("Hand in Hand", "The Christ is near") and floating rock tunes ("They danced, they laughed, as of old"). This universe is largely made of meditative effects thanks to the help of "repetition" and "gentle" melodies. a few songs remind me previous compositions from their classic progressive years (a song as "Love Love" is closed to "Coeur de Verre" / "Das Hohelied Salomos" era): a poetic, "pastoral" rock in search of infinity and quietness. "Why do I still sleep" which closes this initiatic pilgrimage is a romantic, "dreamy" ballad for the piano. Not the peak of the band's career but surely their best from the post 70's progressive rock years. This one can ravish every fan of the band and those who are in touch with deep spirituality
