Description

"The story of the Nosferatu soundtrack editions through the years appears a little chaotic—several editions, with different sleeves and completely different track-lists have appeared in different countries. What we are trying to offer here is the definitive edition of Popol Vuh's works for this fantastic Werner Herzog 1979 tribute to the old Murnau classic. When asked for a new soundtrack for Herzog's project, Florian Fricke and Daniel Fichelscher came out with a magnificent album that once again, as had happened with "Hosianna Mantra," opened new paths. Although recorded with the Herzog film in mind, the album was released as "Brüder des Schattens - Söhne des Lichts," (Brother Of Darkness - Son Of Light). It first came out in 1978 featuring amazing ambient soundscapes based on repetitive passages and instrumentation of incredible beauty, recorded with the help of Al Gromer (Amon Düül) on sitar, Bob Eliscu (Between) on oboe, Ted de Jong on tamboura plus a complete church choir ensemble from Munich. "Brüder des Schattens..." (issued in other editions as Nosferatu), makes disc one on this gorgeous double LP set. Disc two of the Wah Wah edition features the LP that was originally released as the "Nosferatu Original Sound Track" album (also known as "On The Way To A Little Way" (1978). In the middle of the film production, Herzog felt he needed more music and asked Fricke for obscure, scary material. He searched the Popol Vuh archives and compiled the great collection that Nosferatu / On The Way... is. Older Moog tracks mix with more reflective material that gives clues of what's to come. A fantastic, classic Popol Vuh album. We have added one bonus track previously unreleased in vinyl format. Collected in a gorgeous limited edition double LP set—first half of the edition issued in transparent red vinyl—are the two albums that relate to Werner Herzog's Nosferatu. Housed in a fantastic silver sleeve with the Klaus Kinski / Isabelle Adjani artwork from the movie poster as used for the 1979 PDU Italian issue. The gatefold cover artwork is completed with graphic material from "On The Way To A Little Way" plus photos from the movie kindly provided by Werner Herzog himself. A killer 50 x 70 cm full colour reproduction of the movie poster is included, as is an insert with detailed liner notes and one bonus track not on the original albums. Master Cut by Lex Van Coeverden @ thevinylroom for a high quality sound pressing that will satisfy the most exquisite audiophile. "
