Popol Vuh - Hosianna Mantra
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 it's 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.
Tracklist:
Ah!
Kyrie
Hosianna Mantra
Das 5 Buch Mose
Abschied

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
