Reviews


Fresh Air (2017)
Faust - Fresh Air

Compelling but difficult new live radio sessions album recorded in America from German avant-garde experimentalists Faust


Just Us (2015)
Faust - Just Us

Experimental yet surprisingly harmonic latest album from German progressive rock pioneers, Faust


Faust is Last (2010)
Faust - Faust is Last

Sprawling and somewhat unfocused double album from German experimentalists, Faust


Freispiel (2002)
Faust - Freispiel

"Shiny" and "new", but not totally convincing remixing of legendary Kraut rockers Faust's last album 'Ravvivando' by electronica boffins including Surgeon, Gel and the Residents


Faust Tapes (2002)
Faust - Faust Tapes

Both 'Faust Tapes' and the consecutively released '71 Minutes' prove to be "pretty much essential" reissues from the seventies German early pioneers of ambience.
