Popol Vuh
📀 Hosianna Mantra
50 years ago Popol Vuh a musical collective from Munich, #Germany released their 3rd studio album, Hosianna Mantra.
According to critics and passionate of the so called German #KrautRock (the genre that developed in late 1960s / early 1970s), this album is #PopolVuh masterpiece and an absolute gem in the Progressive Rock golden age, mainly thanks to the work on piano 🎹 of band leader and producer Florian Fricke, the work on guitars 🎸of Conny Veit, the celestial vocals 🎼 of Korean soprano Djong Yun.
#HosiannaMantra is an experiment of music genres that were in their embryonic stage at the time, like #NewAge, #Ambient, #ChamberPop, probably one of the closest to perfection!

The Divine Comedy
📀 Casanova
#ArtPop #BaroquePop #ChamberPop #OrchestralPop
30 years ago The Divine Comedy from Northern Ireland, #UK released their 4th studio album.
Casanova marked the band's commercial breakthrough, mainly thanks to the single "Something For The Weekend" after which #TheDivineComedy were (wrongly) addressed by many as #BritPop.
The album and the band are in fact rather different!
Casanova is apparently linked to Venice.
👉 "Something For The Weekend" video is entirely filmed in Venice, the album title and the song "Theme From Casanova" are inspired by 👉 the Venetian adventurer, the front cover is a photo of leader Neil Hannon on a water taxi on the #GrandCanal.
Classy work 🙌
In this album:
#NeilHannon – bass, guitar, percussion, piano, Hammond organ, vocals, Wurlitzer, timpani, producer, art direction
#DarrenAllison – percussion, drums
#JobyTalbot – piano, saxophone, orchestra conductor
