YOGA

This album is not prog. It's Indian classical music played by Indian musicians. I like to play it sometimes. Don't expect any typical POPOL VUH here. Fricke said in an interview: "YOGA is an unauthorized release. Some Indian musicians visited me in my studio, and somebody else took the tapes and sold them under the name of Popol Vuh, but it had nothing to do with Popol Vuh, really. I'm playing harmonium, and organ. I think it was released in Italy." This kind of music that influenced POPOL VUH can sound "progressive" in a way with its complex tabla rhythms and melodic ornamentation of sitar. This exotic music is peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. Some may find it boring and repetative so I can't recommend it to anyone. It's more of a specialty in POPOL VUH's discography.
