Had a vinyl binge today...sigh


Anyways! I passed up a record from Popol Vuh: Seligpreisung

PA only has 4 ratings on this record, mostly essential, but I would like a little more feedback. Would this be a decent purchse?

As far as krautrock goes, I enjoy Tangerine Dream, Amon Duul II, Ash Ra Tempel.

Yes, you should defintely get it. The only drawback is that it is quite short, but there are no weak spots, it's truly beautiful.

Yes, it's a good PV one. The only weak point is the male singing, but there's only few, fortunatly.

Make sure you get the latest CD issue on SPV. It has one side of their female singer Djong Yun's incredibly rare solo single as a bonus track (the other side is on "Hosianna Mantra", their best album along with "Sei Still, Wisse Ich Bin").

Thanks man! Yeah i'm heading into Krautrock now (the least explored progressive genre thus far) and i've really been missing out!

I will be purchasing the album, along with others from Ash Ra Tempel and Brainticket (if I can find it)
