This is Faust. They are awesome and cool. If you like them, try another awesome and cool band named Can. Danke!

Correction...it's an ARP 2500.

@Pighood I'd even argue that most german bands from the era (say '69-'75) are simply the best ever: can, faust, amon duul 2, silberbart, guru guru, embryo, early kraftwerk, annexus quam, early popol vuh, spacebox, neu!, cosmic jokers, hairy chapter, cluster, tarot, my solid ground, harmonia, gila, agitation free, ash ra tempel, out of focus.. ah! the list is varied and almost endless. timeless. read lulian cope's 'krautrocksampler'. magic mushrooms and krautrock: like fine wine and fine cheese

@buskerbuoy Old comment, but my understanding is that Faust and their producer got a fairly substantial recording advance and set themselves up in Wumme to rehearse and record what the record company thought would be the German answer to Sgt. Pepper's or something equally commercial. I can imagine they nearly shit themselves once they heard "Why Don't You Eat Carrots?" (track 1 on the first Faust album, and utterly insane).
