Popol Vuh

	Clinton Goveas :: Wikipedia Reference
		The Popol Vuh (Quiché for "Council Book" or "Book of the Community"; Popol Wuj in modern spelling) is the book of scripture of the Quiché, a kingdom of the post classic Maya civilization in highland Guatemala.
		The original text is seen as difficult to understand, and a simplified version, Popol Vuh: A Sacred Book of the Maya, has now been published in English, Hungarian and Spanish, targeted towards adult and children who are unfamiliar with the Maya.
		Some stories from the Popol Vuh continued to be told by modern Maya as folk legends; some stories recorded by anthropologists in the 20th century may preserve portions of the ancient tales in greater detail than the Ximénez manuscript.

	Popol Vuh - Biography - AOL Music
		Of the many now-legendary artists to emerge from the Krautrock movement, few anticipated the rise of modern electronic music with the same prescience as Popol Vuh -- the first German band to employ a Moog synthesizer, their work not only anticipated the emergence of ambient, but also proved pioneering in its absorption of worldbeat textures.
		The follow-up two years later, In den Garten Pharaos, was Popol Vuh's creative breakthrough, an intensely meditative work fusing ambient textures with organic percussion.
		Fricke next teamed with onetime Amon Duul II drummer Daniel Fichelscher for the next Popol Vuh LP, Seligpreisung; its follow-up, 1975's Einjager und Siebenjager, remains widely considered among the group's most stunning efforts.

	LP Reviews P
		The band were formed four years earlier, and had apparently a quite eventful career already before their debut finally was recorded and released.
		Their self-titled debut showed a band with a kind of musicianship and professionalism that had been unheard from a Norwegian progressive band up to that point.
		Polydor was so impressed with Popol Vuh's two first albums and the success home here in Norway that they finally decided to launch the band internationally.

	New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock PO-PU
		Popol Vuh are best known as early pioneers of the German rock scene, fusing folk and gospel music with rock influences, with releases that have spanned two decades.
		The Norwegian band is also called Popul Vuh and had to change their name in 1973-74, when the two bands became aware of each other.
		The bands second release, 1977's Triton, followed similar paths, but a more fusion vibe had started to appear, as it is obvious the band was listening to such groups as the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return to Forever.

		The volume also the name of an obscure German rock band from the early 70’s, when music seemed to be driven by a sense of purpose and longing to discover new sounds and dimensions.
		There are times when I find most bands that prescribe to extreme metal agitating — their music doesn’t have the depth or contrast to capture my attention for more than a few spins.
		At times, what the band is doing almost seems like they’ve lured you into playing their record backwards as the riffs dejectedly collide into one another and then magically coalesce into familiar Opeth territory.

		Although the bands didn't make much of an impact while they were active in the '70s, their music anticipated much post-punk of the early '80s, particularly industrial rock.
		Born in Berlin on August 4, 1947, Schulze began his performing career during the 1960s, playing guitar, bass and drums in a variety of local bands; by 1969, he was drumming in Tangerine Dream, appearing a year later on their debut LP Electronic Meditation.
		With the band in full artistic flower and Suzuki's sometimes moody, sometimes frenetic speak/sing/shrieking in full effect, Can released not merely one of the best Krautrock albums of all time, but one of the best albums ever, period.

	Individual Album Reviews :: W [www.progweed.net]
		Certainly, the group relies on seemingly folk-inspired themes as well as gorgeous, conventionally "classical" sounding melodies, but it is in their subtle crafting of a dream-like, disembodied effect where much of the power of this record lies.
		The band’s style generally involves droning synthesizer textures and spry organ motifs, over which layers of violin and hallucinogenic guitar washes operate.
		The band came to their record company, the AOL/Time Warner owned Reprise, with the finished album in hand, only to have it rejected outright for being too "uncommercial".

		As of February 2005, Hardiman has left the band and Shkut has returned, and the trio is working on a new CD for their new label, Progrock Records.
		This band is connected to their compatriots Runaway Totem not only by their name, but also by the fact that drummer Uto Giorgio Golin and bassist Dauno Giuseppe Buttiglione, here joined by vocalist Ana Torres Fraile, keyboardist Marco Zanfei and a large group of guest musicians, used to be the rhythm section for Runaway Totem.

		Part of this stems from their position as the awkward buggers on Kranky; they’re louder and heavier than many of the label’s bands, having formed from earlier experiments in tonal warfare 1000 AD and BlackManWhiteManDeadMan (having never seen, heard or even heard of either band I can only nod my head blankly).
		An email correspondence was close enough, though: my interest hadn’t been peaked enough to actually want to meet them, as I’m a skinny white guy and they may have read my review and wanted to disembowel me. Look, it does happen.
		Joe DeNardo and Kevin Doria from the band took some time out from their schedules to chat, while third member Eryn Ross elected to stay home and sharpen the knives.

	- EQM - :: Palace of Worms releases available
		O Quam Tristiis… is a new French band whose debut, "Funérailles des Petits Enfants", provides an eclectic mix between choral chants of deeply religious/ecclesiastical content and ethnic/medieval music with an electronic edge that sets the project in a contemporary setting.
		Palace of Worms seem to be able to pick bands with a similar essence that have helped the label to find its very own niche in the scene.
		The band have created an atmosphere that somehow manages to combine elements of Joy Division (like the throaty dramatic vocals and the discomforting and nostalgically poetic mood of the music) and Death In June, achieving as you might imagine quite unique results.

	The Other Music Update
		The mood, sounds and earthy atmosphere of Popol Vuh, Cluster, and Harmonia are married to the static, mid-tempos of Voigt's Pentax or All, Flugel and Wuttke's Sensorama, and the comparatively more 'retro' sounding Schlammpeitziger.
		Born in the countryside in the late-'40s, Mapfumo as a young man was both keenly interested in the traditional Shona music with which he grew up, as well as the American rock and roll and soul, and cosmopolitan African jazz that he was able to tune into on his radio.
		No other white pop band, besides the Beatles, was covered as much by soul and jazz artists in the '60s as the Glimmer Twins and company.

		There seems to be a trend from progressive music to a more accessible form of music in many bands' histories, and unfortunately, they rarely return to what many perceive to be their best work.

		Except when the band stops and he plays unaccompanied for very long stretches, in a style so suddenly measured and patient that you can't believe such a loud band could get so quiet.
		Like on that stunning recent William Hooker CD Complexity #2, it sounds like he's not in the band at all until the 37-minute mark, when suddenly there he is wailing through massive distortion like a one-man Mahavishnu Orchestra, sounding like he'd been there all along, and he probably had been.
		But really, this LP release from last year should've been enough to do that, though it is a hard nut to crack, and it tastes pretty weird once you do.
