An ambient/krautrock band from the 70s, Popol Vuh's music is ethereal and soft yet lush and elaborate, combining a lot of synth work with traditional instrumentation form pre-Columbian (hence the Maya band name) and Asian cultures. Very spiritual stuff.

Make that two
. That album takes me places. Lovely guitar work too. Been listening to a lot of Krautrock recently especially Future Days.
Also been seeking out a lot of the original British version of post-rock and I'm liking:
Pram - The Stars are so Big The Earth is so Small . .Stay as You Are (1993)
Pram - Museum Of Imaginary Animals (2000)
Bark Psychosis - Hex (1994)
The3 latter Pram album is more accessible and sounds Krautrocky in parts. Will appeal to fans of Stereolab and Broadcast. Bark Psychosis are brilliant and remind me of late Talk Talk.
(Couldn't find anything from albums above)
