Ended the weekeend and welcomed the week with In den Gärten Pharaos ("In Pharaoh's Gardens") the second album by German band Popol Vuh, released in 1971 by record label Pilz. On side A is the title track "In den Gärten Pharaos", an ancient, contemplative meditation with the sound of rippling water, Moog synthesizer, Fender Rhodes, and African percussion.

The testifying title track is an environmental anthem that demands a return to natural sources; its poetry is just as bracing in the 21st century, and absolutely free of idle sentiment.
