With the Moog synthesizer gliding like shimmering water, the title track evokes ancient, dreamlike gardens filled with ethereal light and subtle percussion. As the track unfolds, the listener drifts through layers of electronics, Rhodes piano tones, and tribal rhythms, all of which coalesce into an immersive, spiritual meditation that remains hypnotic from start to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the flip side, “Vuh” unfolds as a majestic cathedral-like mass, with massive organ drones reverberating through space, punctuated by cymbal swells and distant percussion. Recorded in a medieval church, its resonant tones conjure a sense of timeless ritual and awe. Together, the two extended compositions frame the album as an elemental and deeply contemplative work—a mystical sound journey that marks a powerful early milestone in ambient and new-age music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Popol Vuh\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Esoteric Recordings\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_uk\"\u003eUK\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp; Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ambient\"\u003eAmbient\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/krautrock\"\u003eKrautrock\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA In Den Gärten Pharaos\u003cbr\u003eB Vuh\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Esoteric Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42403136012353,"sku":"4610431","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/7e42cd764cd3008de12543cacba49ff1.jpg?v=1756080907"},{"product_id":"popol-vuh-affenstunde-31686","title":"Popol Vuh – Affenstunde","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTowards the end of the 60s the classically trained pianist Florian Fricke worked as a music and film critic before he decided to produce his own music. Like many German musicians of that time (Eberhard Schoener, Cluster, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze) he felt attracted by electronics to create his own sound worlds. He could afford a Moog III. At the time, he was convinced that he could cover the entire range of human emotions with this electronic instrument. Gerhard Augustin from Liberty Records offered Fricke the opportunity to produce a Moog album.

Holger Trülzsch joined the band as a percussionist. Fricke took a bold step, abandoned all musical conventions and entered new territories. Endless experimental sessions finally led to the trippy album \"Affenstunde\" (1970). An album that still appeals to young adventurous listeners. Both the name of the group and the title of the album (Monkey Hour) refer to the holy book of Maya Popol Vuh, which inspired the spiritually minded Florian Fricke.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eReviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\"Neo-psychedelic Julian Cope praised the debut Affenstunde (1970) once than an album with 'incredible Sounds and impressions that can be heard with nothing Are comparable to the previous.\" (Good Times, June \/ July 2019)\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp; Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Popol Vuh\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Klimt Records\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_france\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp; Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ambient\"\u003eAmbient\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/minimal\"\u003eMinimal\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAa Dream Part 4\u003cbr\u003eAb Dream Part 5\u003cbr\u003eAc Dream Part 49\u003cbr\u003eB Affenstunde\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Klimt Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43941176606785,"sku":"4821790","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/3910783__33185.1645836231.jpg?v=1778804117"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/collections\/popol-vuh-vinyl-records.oembed","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
