Great Albums - 1970s: #PopolVuh – #HosiannaMantra (1972). Led by keys man Florian Fricke, this band took the opposite path of Kraftwerk et. Al. by starting on synthesizers and, by this LP, switching to organic instruments, such as the grand piano that figures prominently here. Ambient, cerebral, and cinematic (they later scored for Werner Herzog), this LP blends quasi-classical gestures with pop – and textures like early worldbeat. #GreatAlbums1970s, #MastodonMusic, #Albums, #Vinyl, #GermanMusic
