Aguirre is the seventh album by
German band
Popol Vuh. It contains music used in the
soundtrack to
Werner Herzog's film Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), first released as an album in 1975 on
Ohr, and reissued in 2004 by
SPV with one
bonus track. The soundtrack gained the band comparisons to renowned ambient musician
Brian Eno.[2] This score was the first of many filmic collaborations between the group and Herzog. Only two tracks ("Aguirre I" and "Aguirre II") are from the film; the rest were gathered from various recordings done by the group during the period 1972–74, including alternative versions of two songs ("Morgengruß II" and "Agnus Dei") originally released on the band's 1974 album, Einsjäger und Siebenjäger.
Track listing
All tracks composed by Florian Fricke except track number 2 composed by Daniel Fichelscher.
