Released in 1970 on Liberty, Affenstunde is the debut album of Popol Vuh — the visionary Munich ensemble led by Florian Fricke — and one of the most important records in the history of Krautrock and electronic music. Recorded almost entirely on a Moog synthesizer, the album is a hypnotic, meditative journey that predates ambient music by years and stands as a cornerstone of the German avant-garde. This first pressing in its laminated gatefold sleeve is among the most sought-after items in any serious Krautrock collection.
