Pallas: The Midas touch/Recordings 1998-2007 [8 CD + Blu-ray]

Ayers Kevin: Where Do the Stars End 1974-80 [6 CD]

The third album by Popol Vuh, a collective of musicians founded in Germany by Florian Fricke in 1969. 'Hosianna Mantra' was a departure from the band's first two records. Leader Florian Fricke abandoned the use of the Moog synthesiser and instead employed acoustic instrumentation such as piano, oboe and tambura. The record also featured evocative vocals by Korean singer Djong Yun and guitar contributions from Conny Veit. The resulting album was one of the most inspiring, evocative and beautiful works to emerge in Germany in the 1970s and its fusion of ethnic, classical and ambient influences remains unique. It is little wonder that 'Hosianna Mantra' remains regarded as one of the finest works by Popol Vuh and continues to be held in high regard by both critics and aficionados alike. This Esoteric Recordings edition has been cut at Abbey Road studios and replicates the original album artwork.

New vinyl edition of 'Einsjäger Und Siebenjäger', the classic 1974 album by Popol Vuh. Cut at AIR Studios, London. Regarded as one of the finest albums by the German collective helmed by musical visionary Florian Fricke, 'Einsjäger Und Siebenjäger' took its title from mythological characters in the Mayan manuscripts from which the band took its name. Recorded in Munich, the recordings featured Florian Fricke (piano), Daniel Fichelscher (guitars, percussion), Djong Yun (vocals) and guest flautist Olaf Kubler from Amon Düül II. Comprising five shorter pieces on its first side and the impressive, evocative side-long title track, the album is one of the most beautiful albums issued by Popol Vuh and is a fine example of their flowing compositional genius.
