Description
There is no group more mythical than Faust," wrote Julian Cope in his book Krautrocksampler, which detailed the pivotal influence the German band exerted over the development of ambient and industrial textures. Producer/overseer Uwe Nettelbeck, a onetime music journalist, formed Faust in Wumme, Germany, in 1971 with founding members Hans Joachim Irmler, Jean Hervé Peron, Werner "Zappi" Diermaier, Rudolf Sosna, Gunther Wusthoff, and Armulf Meifert. Upon receiving advance money from their label, Nettelbeck converted an old schoolhouse into a recording studio, where the group spent the first several months of its existence in almost total isolation, honing its unique cacophonous sound with the aid of occasional guests like minimalist composer Tony Conrad and members of Slapp Happy.
Issued on clear vinyl in a transparent sleeve, Faust's eponymously titled debut LP surfaced in 1971. Although sales were notoriously bad, the album — a noisy sound collage of cut-and-paste musical fragments — did earn the group a solid cult following. This album typifies German experimental music of the area - bleak, mechanical, dehumanised and industrial.
The disc is in clear vinyl, with the liner notes on plastic inside a clear cover. The album has only been played several times - no more than 7 or 8 times at the most - and has always been reyurned to it's sleeve after playing. The album has also been continually stored upright with no appreciable pressure from either side and is consequently free of warping.
(Please note that I am endeavouring to be as honest in my description of this album as possible because, if you are reading this, you are probably a serious collector of prog-rock/ krautrock.)
I have endeavoured to be as comprehensive in assessment of this album as possible. I would welcome any questions you may have about this item.
Payment by PayPal preferred. Personal cheques will need to be cleared before goods are sent.
As I work shifts there may be a delay of several days before I can post the album. (Please enquire for overseas post and packing rate)
Good Luck and Happy Bidding!
