Customer Reviews of Einsjager & Siebenjager
Not feeling this one I'm quite disappointed by this Popol Vuh release. Now, I should admit that they are not one of my favorite Krautrock bands, as too much of their output sounds like wishy-washy New Age music to me.
And yes, to my ears, this is more of the same. A lot of reviewers have called this one of Popol Vuh's "harder" albums, but that's a bit of an overstatement. Maybe it's got more of a rock beat throughout, but it's far from being hard. Too much of this album sounds like soft, half-baked, 1970's, hippy-dippy noodling to me.
Musically unchallenging and unadventurous, it almost sounds like it should be the soundtrack to a 1970's California soft-porn movie...Or maybe it should be accompanying a reading of some Rod McKuen poems?
I say avoid this one, unless you're a completist or actually like New Age music.
Popular Songs of a Rare Etherial Passion
Popol Vuh came into existence in the year 1970 through the recording of their first album together, "Affenstunde"[ Monkey Hour ]. Another classic work, "In den Gärten Pharaos" [ In the Garden of the Pharaohs ] followed in 1971. Both of these early recordings featured the extensive use of a modular Moog synthesizer accompanied by spare use of more conventional instrumentation. It was such brave experiments, as these first free musical efforts, that helped to define the popular German electronic music scene of the time.
"Einsjäger & Siebenjäger" is Popol Vuh's fifth recording, made during the year 1974. By now, the group's founder Florian Fricke had sold his Moog synthesizer to Klaus Schulze, abandoning the explicit use of electronics in his attempt to put "My entire life into the music. All of it." His feelings, at the time, were that conventional instruments permitted a more direct translation of an artist's emotional disposition into sound, as a result of such instruments inherently subtle tactile responsiveness.
"Einsjäger & Siebenjäger", as a result, features Florian Fricke on piano with Daniel Fichelscher on guitars and percussion. Korean singer Djong Yun is featured on the title track singing ethereal lyrics, which flow gently through time, seemingly without effort.
Popol Vuh has recorded at least four different soundtracks for film director Werner Herzog. "Einsjäger & Siebenjäger" was released during the same year as their music recorded for the soundtrack of Herzog's spellbinding film "Aguirre: The Wrath of God".
At thirty-seven minutes, this CD is short by contemporary standards, yet as a historical document of an amazing set of emotionally forthright performances, you will find that "Einsjäger & Siebenjäger" is well worth the price of admission.
