In this album, Popol Vuh plays a style of music which is similar to bands like Enigma, Deep Forest or Banco de Gaia, mixing electronic music and dance rhythms with ethnic chants and the sampled voice of singer Maya Rose rather than the krautrock, psychedelic rock and ambient music of their previous releases. Because of this, City Raga remains generally a controversial release among Popol Vuh's fanbase.

gollark: Anyway, thing is, the electoral college is not actually a very good mechanism for giving rural areas more power, that just works as a pretext for it.
gollark: But not split proportionally *by area* or something.
gollark: It might make more sense split proportionally and not winner-takes-all, which I'm pretty sure is the case now.
gollark: That would be rebalancing it even more ridiculously arbitrarily.
gollark: What, not statewise?
