Affenstunde ("Hour of the Monkey") is the first album by German band Popol Vuh. It was originally released in 1970 on record label Liberty. In 2004 SPV re-released the album with one bonus track.
It was one of the earliest albums featuring the use of the Moog synthesizer set to original music.
AllMusic called it "an auspicious debut, which holds up wonderfully in the 21st century."Perfect Sound Forever described Affenstunde as "a landmark electronic album" that "also doesn't have the timeless quality of many of their later works".Julian Cope described it as "a debut album of incredible sounds and sensations that were unlike anything prior to its existence".
All tracks by Popol Vuh except track number 4 by Florian Fricke.
