Popol Vuh - Brüder Des Schattens, Söhne Des Lichts (2025)

Originally released in 1978, Popol Vuh's BRUDER DES SCHATTENS-SOHNE DES LICHTS fully indulges all of the elements that marked the German band's sound through the years, including the group's fascination with medieval chants, ethnic fusion, and lilting, ambient music. BRUDER contains lengthy, abstract compositions that rely on guitar, piano, and studio manipulation. Released today, BRUDER might be classified as a new-age album; in the 1970s, however, this was groundbreaking music, and the 2006 reissue is a welcome reminder of Popol Vuh's pioneering impact on modern impressionistic music.
