Popol Vuh are considered one of the most influential German “70s Progressive Rock” avant-garde acts and are known as a pioneering band in Ambient-Electronica and Progressive Rock Music. Their records “Affenstunde” (1971) and “In den Gärten Pharaos” (1972), played with the Moog III Synthesizer, are claimed to be fundamentally influencing works in Electronica. They went down in the annals of German film music history with their soundtracks for legendary cinema classics like “Aguirre”, “Fitzcarraldo”, “Nosfeartu” and “Cobra Verde” by director Werner Herzog and composed more than 15 soundtracks, with the majority of them for Herzog’s feature films with Klaus Kinski as the leading character. Since 2004, the complete back catalogue of 19 original Albums by Popol Vuh has been rereleased worldwide.
