Also on Instagram: We are beyond thrilled and honored to announce that we will be releasing an expanded, definitive double LP of Werner Herzog's NOSFERATU THE VAMPYRE. Again, as far as I remember, there may have been some differences in sound between these and Spalax/ZYX versions, but very small, just enough to suggest a different mastering.2015.03.15 - Waxwork Records made following announcement on Facebook today: ‘We are beyond thrilled, and truly honored to announce, that Waxwork Records will be releasing a definitive, expanded double LP release of POPUL VUH's score to Werner Herzog's NOSFERATU THE VAMPYRE’. In addition to High Tide, - whose versions of Affenstude and Nacht der Seele I don't remember being any better than the other versions of I have heard - there was also Celestial Harmonies' compilation of "Aguirre" theme, In den Gärten Pharaos and "Spirit of Peace" plus their compilation of Hosianna Mantra and Nacht der Seele (Tantric Songs). A third version I heard was a very obvious needle drop, more hazy and crackly. The Milan Best of version sounded much brighter and open, though it was abridged. The Spalax version does sound pretty muffled (similar to the nominal Nosferatu soundtrack material), which suggest a lot of noise reduction/treble roll-off to hide surface noise. I think the difference comes from the source and whatever EQ or noise reduction was used afterwards. I have heard a couple of compilations focused on PV's film material and through them heard different versions of "Brüder der Schattens, Söhnne des Lichts". ![]() I also have no direct experience of the vinyl versions, but I would think that many of the CD releases are needle drops. However, I don't think that SPVs sound any "better" than Spalaxes or ZYXes (a bit louder perhaps), though they are packaged more lavishly and have those, IMO unneccessary, bonus tracks. ![]() ![]() ![]() I generally don't buy multiple editions of same albums, so my collection of 1970s Popol Vuh is mixture of Spalax, ZYX and SPV. They remind of remixed collages compiled from various bits from earlier material, a bit in the style of that remix compilation from five years back. As is Affenstunde's bonus track, and the same probably applies to many of the other bonus tracks on various SPV re-releases. I see that the SPV edition of In Den Gärten Pharaos has two 10 minute tracksĪre these from the same sessions of the album ?No, much later by the sound of it, probably from the 21st century.
