• Towards the end of the 60s the classically trained pianist Florian Fricke worked as a music and film critic before he decided to produce his own music. Like many German musicians of that time (Eberhard Schoener, Cluster, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze) he felt attracted by electronics to create his own sound worlds. He could afford a Moog III. At the time, he was convinced that he could cover the entire range of human emotions with this electronic instrument. Gerhard Augustin from Liberty Records offered Fricke the opportunity to produce a Moog album. So Fricke founded Popol Vuh in spring 1969
  In the keyboarder Frank Fiedler he found a well-equipped technician who supported him. Holger Trlzsch joined the band as a percussionist. Fricke took a bold step, abandoned all musical conventions and entered new territories. End
