About faUSt
[Julian COPE] "There is no group more mythical than Faust"
[MELODY MAKER] "Faust are essential, not just as a history lesson, but as a living legacy and as a reproach to an underachieving age."
[NME] "A radical mix of Musique Concrete, Stockhausen, the Velvet Underground, and moments of almost pastoral beauty."
[TIME OUT] "Faust were first!"
[MELODY MAKER] "Anyone who's loved the last half-decade's re-invention of the guitar, (Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine et al.), will instantly recognise Faust as a prime ancestor of 'our' music."

A SHORT BIOGRAPHYby Chris Cutler (1996 Recommended records)
" Inventors of 'Kraut Rock', iconoclasts extraordinaire, Faust are key figures in 20th Century music. In the early 70's, along with Can and Kraftwerk, they re-invented pop music as a specifically European art-form. Virtually imprisoned by Polydor in their own studio for two years, they were able to revolutionize the whole process of musical production; they improvised with Industrial noise, generated bizarre hypnotic grooves, indulged in shockingly wilful studio-based collages, and dabbled with every conceivable musical genre, sometimes simultaneously! Every now and then they found time for a burst of satirical pop, or occasional waves of delicate ambience. Amongst those Faust have strongly influenced we must count Brian Eno, Joy Division, Cabaret Voltaire, Test Department, Neubauten, My Bloody Valentine, Julian Cope and a host of Industrial and Techno bands. The music has lost none of it's immediacy or relevance - it sounds as if it was recorded last week, not last decade"
