LETZTE TAGE - LETZTE NÄCHTE

Another essential Popol vuh album from the mid 70's golden era. It's chronologically the last excellent Popol vuh album, along with « Heart of glass», «Die Nacht der Seele» and «Nosferatu». The guitar plays the main role here. The guitar play is more expressive, psychedelic and lyrical than ever before. The summit is reached on « Oh wie weist ist der Weg hinauf » with its intense guitar part. The mystical dimension is expressed through devotional female vocals such as on «Haram dei Raram Dei Ra », the ethereal « Kyrie ».

All the current CD versions feature a very poor sound. The SPV release makes no exception, but feature some good bonus -with slightly better sound than the album itself- such as an alternate cover of « Oh wie weist ist der Weg hinauf » with male vocals, called « Haram dei Ra ».
