 Topic: Help with Popol Vuh

I'm trying to buy some Popol Vuh. What is the best album to start with (Except the herzog soundtracks, I have nothing against Herzog, he is an amazing filmmaker with Aguirre and Fitzcarallado) Which is the best album to get the machine rolling for Popol Vuh?

I'd recommend Letzte Tage Letzte Nachte. I love that album...

So much good albums...
You can start with the mid-period albums:
-Hosianna Mantra
-Einseger
-Das hohelied salomon
Letzte Tage is excellent as well, indeed.

Sound advice from Olivier, 
Unless you like early Tangerine Dream, then you could try Affenstunde and Garten der Pharaohs.

I agree with Sean and Oliver's recommendations.
I would also add Tantric Songs

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

Try "Hosianna Mantra", their most ethereal, mesmeric and otherworldly album.
