From 1972, this is by far my favourite Faust album. Quite different to the more famous 'Faust Tapes', this has no tape cut-ups and weird juxtaposition, instead going for relatively conventional song structure, and a fairly normal sound palette for 1972. This doesn't seem to restrict their creative tendencies at all, and the resulting tracks are a heady mish mash of pastoral folk, crazed ramblings, hazy psychedelia and wild oddball grooves. The title track is a brilliant space stomp groove: a loping rhythm section chunters along with horn stabs, over an undulating landscape of sublimely trippy textures and effects.Varied, inventive, and often quite beautiful, there is still a healthy dose of weirdness, and I find this a really enjoyable listen.

Thanks for the Faust! I like what I've heard! Here is something for you, if you want: http://www.mediafire.com/?0yxxtxn1jw9
Hmmm... well I'll give it a go.. but i remember walking out of Faust gig with you a few years back, after 20 minutes of chains clanking on railway lines behind a gauze curtain as we were mightily underwhelmed (although I did like the 'Hey Mickey' drum-beat...
Actually, you left me asleep in my seat while you went to the bar for the remainder of the gig!
i liked the album...it is strange, absurd...almost silly
Just like life is, my anonymous friend!
Good joob
