3 stars Some fanatics consider this one as their best , but I seem yo loose the thread here. This is one of the first of MANY collaboration with Herzog 's films. I never saw the film so I cannot tell you if the music accompany/fits the images well but without them, I don't see much interest. Not that the musicis bad, but seems pointless. The music is very athmospheric , ethereal , slightly cosmic but never really takes off and reaching for a goal. Yun's japanese super-soprano voice is sometimes a bit hard to like.

As the other reviews points out , this artwork was superimposed on some other tracks and sometimes linked with their second album (Pharaoh) . This is unfortunately common with Popol Vuh releases on cd. Not the best of their work.
