Yeah, "Morgengruß" is definitely an absolutely beautiful piece of music. This is a fantastic album in general, I think. It's a bit different from some of the more ethereal Popol Vuh stuff in how it has a good amount of sort of Psychedelic Rock flavored material for Rock oriented listeners to grab on to, which some listeners who prefer things to be more firmly planted in the Experimental/Avantgarde side have sometimes used as a reason to criticize it, but I find it to be another transcendent masterpiece from a group that rarely fails to deliver. The material here mostly has a majestic, inspiring quality about it and it's a great album for morning listening or as a soundtrack to a hike/walk in nature.

Never really explored this one. Lots of good stuff on here. I think Morgengruß is one of my new favorites by these guys.

a.k.a. "One-Hunter" and "Seven-Hunter" (in English) >> "One-Hunahpu" (a calendrical name) is the father of the Maya hero twins, Hunahpu and Xbalanque. As their shared calendrical day name suggests, Hun-Hunahpu is first and foremost the father of Hunahpu. He is also stated to be the father of the twins' half-brothers, the patrons of the artisans and writers, Hun-Chowen and Hun-Batz (see Howler Monkey Gods). Hun-Hunahpu "One-Hunahpu" is paired with his brother, Vucub-Hunahpu "Seven-Hunahpu". The brothers were tricked in the Dark House by the lords of the Underworld (Xibalba) and sacrificed. Hun-Hunahpu's head was suspended in a trophy tree and changed to a calabash. Its spittle (i.e., the juice of the calabash) impregnated a daughter of one of the lords of Xibalba, Xquic. She fled the underworld and conceived the Twins. After defeating the lords of the Underworld, the Twins recovered the remains of their father and father's brother, but could not resuscitate them.
