5.0 out of 5 stars Acid or Dran-o?, July 30, 2000

This review is from: Faust (Audio CD)

I honestly can't say for sure what was influencing these crazy Germans when they were creating this masterpiece. It's on the blistering edge for its time period, it's harsh and violently discordant at times, yet beautifully sensitive and filled with subtle hints at others... ("a wonderful wooden reason"). My original copy of this was on vinyl. A clear inner sleeve, a clear jacket, and clear vinyl, with the hand Xray visible. A beautiful piece of work, visually as well as musically. If you can find the vinyl version, buy it and never play it. Buy the CD too, so you can hear it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only release of its kind (and if there are others, ha!), September 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Faust (Audio CD)

This CD is a must in any self-respecting music collector's stacks...contains the best Faust track ever, "Why Don't You Eat Carrots", which contains an especially entertaining/harrowing/horrifying battle between the band and a not-particularly-having-a-good-day oscillator. "Meadow Meal" you WILL find yourself chanting while walking somewhere, and you won't want to, but "Miss Fortune" has the same effect. Classic. Get it while it's still on the shelves, it's out of print now...

4.0 out of 5 stars confounding...but charming, October 9, 2005

This review is from: Faust (Audio CD)

Faust's sound is never easy to describe. perhaps it's one of the reasons that they have remained as one of the great mysteries of the german rock world. taking the basic pattern of rock and roll music of the times, and adding alot of really experimental touches to it (tape manipulation, studio effects, strange instrumentation), Faust entered onto the scene with this debut that is just as weird and confounding as it was when it was first released. these three songs represent a playfull and devilish sense of humour that makes me imagine the band mixing in the studio thinking, "this'll really mess with the heads of the listener, won't it?! heeheee." but there is alot of talent and a genuine musical scope hidden in all the silliness and mystery. perhaps fans of modern media manipulators like Negativeland or the Residents might be interested in leaning an ear towards the Faust back catalogue.
