专辑介绍
by Thom Jurek
One of several soundtracks
Florian Fricke
composed for the films of
Werner Herzog
, Coeur de Verre (Heart from Glass, 1976) is one of the true masterpieces from Popol Vuh. Utilizing East Indian classical music as its starting point,
Fricke
and
Daniel Fichelscher
(guitars and percussion), with help from
Alois Gromer
on sitar and flutist
Mattias Tippelskirch
, have recorded one of the most blissed-out works in the band's history.
Fricke
's concentration on nearly painfully slowly developing themes (yes, even slower than usual) is tempered by the sheer reliance on transcendent euphoria in the processional tempos. The purposeful control of dynamics is necessary because of the deep emotional and spiritual connotations in the music. Composed to the images on the screen, the original version of &Sing, for Song Drives Away the Wolves& and the redone &Geimenschaft& appear here and close the album. Indeed they are its highlights, but that is only after a buildup that demands release after 45 minutes. Many would argue for one of the choral vocal works like
Hosianna Mantra
or
Sei Still, Wisse ICH BIN
as the band's flat-out masterpiece, but in its purely instrumental incarnation this one is unquestionably Popol Vuh's watermark. There is so much beauty here, it tenderly breaks the heart over and over again, seemingly effortlessly.
