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.
