Title: killer krautrock
Product review: As a long time fan of Krautrock bands such as Neu! Can, Cluster, Harmonia, et al, I was pleasantly surprised by how different Faust were to other bands of their ilk. Faust are a band that obviously didn't take themselves that seriously as evidenced by song lyrics like "daddy take the banana, tomorrow is sunday", delivered in a thick german accent with a Stooges style guitar motif. This compilation of their first two albums is a lot of fun, their second release So Far deserves particular mention. Imagine The Beach Boys, The Residents, The Stooges and Uncle Meat era Mothers of Invention all jamming in a German Farmhouse and you might get an idea of the eclecticism at work here. Highly reccomended!
