Faust! - Fool's Song

Was the youngest commercially signed and recorded band in the Philippines.
Was widely regarded as "one of the most progressive and exciting bands in Asia", and was often tagged "The Young Manila Wonderband"

Wrote and co-produced all tracks in its critically acclaimed albums "Toons From an Alien Broadcast" and "My Secret Identity"

Composed, arranged, performed and produced all of its original material in both English and Filipino

Was likewise acclaimed for what critics described as "its spectacular live performances...combining elements from avant-garde painting, poetry, performance art and video with its own experimentally-inclined music". Worked in collaboration with some of Asia's most celebrated transmedia artists.

Was determined to help bring greater artistic substance to Philippine contemporary music, and was vehemently opposed to the crass commercialism and gimmickry that dominated many sectors of the music and entertainment industries.

Stubbornly (and proudly) maintained an "anti-showbiz" stance, declining to perform in clubs and nightspots, play-for-pay concerts, dance parties, promotional tours, and on television variety shows.

Was recognized in the industry for having cultivated "a rapidly growing fan base for its music" exclusively through its recordings, videos and other creative endeavors.

Independently produced its second album "My Secret Identity", an experimental double-CD collection, released in January of 1998.

Was the winner of the 1997 MTV / Philips Asian Band Search, an asia-wide competition where it bested other outstanding young bands from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines, among other countries.

Was composed of the following principal members:
Mickey Syjuco, vocals / AG Syjuco, guitars & synths / Beany Syjuco, guitars & vocals / Magoo Syjuco, drums
