Seligpreisung is the fourth album by German band Popol Vuh. It was originally released in 1973 on record label Kosmische Musik. The title is the German name for the Beatitudes, from Christ's Sermon on the Mount.
In 2004 SPV re-released the album with one bonus track, "Be in Love (Du sollst lieben)", originally released in 1972 on a solo single by Korean vocalist Djong Yun.
Perfect Sound Forever described it as "another soaring, beautiful, essential and seminal work, sounding not only unique in the world of music, but among all other Popol Vuh albums."[1]
All tracks composed by Florian Fricke. Original lyrics from the Gospel of Matthew, revised by Florian Fricke.
