Popol Vuh
The tracks "Popol Vuh 1" and "Popol Vuh 2" were "open tips of the hat" to the German experimental band Popol Vuh. Goldsmith described the two "drone instrumentals" as "post-rock guitarscapes" built around "the tribal percussion" that would be further explored by Matt Elliott, who plays on the album, in his work as The Third Eye Foundation.
