Serge Lenkoff

One of the best albums from Popol Vuh of the 80s. Florian Fricke and Daniel Fishelscher tried to keep traditional sound of the band from the 70s but give it more light touch. It could remind you of "Sei still wesse ICH BIN", but "Spirit of Peace" is more light, easy- listening and much less repetitive record. The first track sounds close to "Sei still wesse ICH BIN". You would hear piano, mantric repetitve singing of chorus. Surprise comin' after that - title track is pure melanchloic and minimalistic piano play. Could remind you of some Eno tracks. After that - acoustic guitar and mantric singing, chorus repeating only one word: "Yehung (Hand in hand)". The same theme develops but in more dynamic way in "Take Tension High". So if you like choral/mantra/raga rock Popol Vuh this album is for you. Return of electronic sounds would come on a next album - "Cobra Verde". Author of cover art - figure of the prophet on the shore of the lake - now famous electronic musician Eric Wollo.
