“Call it Magic Music or Love Music, just what you’d like to: it’s music for the soul. That’s it”, Florian Fricke once said about the music of Popol Vuh. “I keep on finding new styles and recurring patterns to merge into the music. But the essence always stays the same. Let me tell you one thing: Popol Vuh’s essence is a mass for the heart. It’s music about love. That’s all.”
