Popol Vuh, later known as Popol Ace, was a 1970s Norwegian progressive rock band from Oslo, that became popular in the 1970s Norwegian rock scene with such songs as "All We Have Is the Past", "Queen of all Queens" and "Music Box". The band was originally a larger jazz-rock inspired act that featured a brass section named Arman Sumpe Dur Express. The horn players left the group and they named the new band Popol Vuh.[1]
The band later changed its name to Popol Ace to avoid confusion with the German band Popol Vuh. In 1972 they won Norway's Grammy award, the Spellemannprisen, for the Group category.[2] The band's downfall came with the lead singer Jahn Teigen leaving the band for a solo career.
In 2017 they were inducted into Norway's Rockheim rock music hall of fame.[3]
Grappa Musikkforlag released the 3LP box set It Was 50 Years Ago Today on November 11, 2022 featuring live recordings taken from Sveriges Radio and NRK's archives. Sven Ohrvik played keyboards on tracks 11-20.[4] In 2023, French progressive rock label Musea Records reissued Stolen From Time in a remastered version.[5]
