By Pieter HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
In its original 1978 release, this was the soundtrack to the movie Nosferatu. This is the demo version of that album with one bonus track. Piano, guitars, sitar, oboe, tamboura and a church choir create the most beautiful music on this remarkable work. Höre, Der Du Wagst starts with the gentle sounds of sitar and piano for a slow brooding buildup, then the pace picks up with Das Schloss des Irtums where the guitars gain prominence and likewise on Die Umkehr. The real masterpiece is the title track Brüder des Schattens, Söhne des Lichts with its hypnotic, repetitive melody line and its gorgeous sitar, piano and guitar. This magnificent piece is more classical than popular music and would not be out of place on a Steve Reich album in its minimalist textures. There is also a spiritual quality about it that evokes feelings of loss, sorrow and redemption. Brüder des Schattens is an atmospheric masterpiece of German electronic music and has stood the test of time very well.

I fully concur with the first reviewer's opinion of this album. It's a work of great subtlety and beauty and IS a masterpiece of '70s German music. It is emphatically not an electronic record however. Florian Fricke and Popul Vuh sprang from the same 'cosmic' electronic scene as Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze but abandoned synthesisers after a couple of albums. Check out Tangerine Dream's dark ambient masterpiece Zeit for an appearance by Fricke on Moog. Highly recommended if you like to get lost in contemplation.

Popol Vuh, Brüder des Schattens 26 Mar 2010
By Aquiles Cantarell - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Uno de los primeros discos de esta formación de origen alemán, que muestra una enorme profundidad en cada una de sus piezas. Si bien es cierto que la Música del Popol Vuh (nombre tomado por Florian Fricke, del libro de la comunidad de los mayas de Guatemala) puede resultar poco atractiva a los oidos poco educados, una vez que el escucha se conecta con ella, ya jamás la abandonará. De hecho, piezas como la primera del disco y que le da pie al título, nos hace evocar la magnificiencia de la selva Chiapaneca en las estribaciones de la sierra, donde se asentó la poderosa ciudad de Palenque.
De aquí en adelante, el líder de este grupo buscará con ahínco, penetrar en los secretos de las más diversas culturas del mundo antiguo y tocara de manera muy cercana, las experiencias del budismo.
ES por ello, que este disco es enormemente recomendable y seguramente hará que sus escuchas, busquen otras propuestas de este malogrado músico alemán.
