It's the second side -- it's totally grandiose and captivating. Respectable choice!

Glad my two favorites were tied in votes too.

I bought Seligpresung and have been listening to it! But while it is pretty, it didn't move ahead of Aguirre or Heart of Glass for me.

Seligpreisung that is
Yeah, I remember liking that one more than I did when I listened to it again recently

I'm glad someone else likes Messa di Orfeo!

Kind of surprised "In Den Gärten Pharaos" won this tbh. Anyway I came here to say "Meditation" by Eberhard Schoener sounds very like that early electronic side of Popol Vuh, which is not that suprising as it was recorded in the same studio Popol Vuh used, on (I'm almost certain) the same equipment, some of the sounds used are pretty much identical.

I guess In Den Gärten Pharaos (and Affenstunde) stand alone in the catalogue; people who like that electronic side of the band have only those to pick from, whereas the remaining records feel like variants on a different template (whether vocal or instrumental, rocking or contemplative).
Of the eleven I've heard, I might pick Letzte Tage - Letzte Nächt for its concision and breadth.
