In November, BMG follow-up their 2019 vinyl box of music by German electronic avant-garde band Popol Vuh with a second volume: Acoustic & Ambient Spheres.

This 4LP vinyl package includes the albums Seligpreisung (1973), Coeur de Verre (1970), Agape-Agape (Love-Love) (1983) and Cobra Verde (1987), four important progressive rock & ambient works by the band from the 1970s and 1980s. Cobra Verde and Coeur de Verre are the original soundtracks of the Werner Herzog cinema-classics.

The 4LP vinyl box set comes with an insert with extensive liner notes and photos, completed by three prints, a collector’s film still poster from Coeur de Verre and the original movie poster from Cobra Verde (both in A3 format).
