Editorial Reviews

Faust were a part of the genre known as Krautrock: progressive, avant-garde proto-electronica from Germany whose other proponents included Can, Neu! and Kraftwerk. Producer/overseer Uwe Nettelbeck, a onetime music journalist, formed Faust in Wumme, Germany, in 1971 with founding members Hans Joachim Irmler (also one half of Cluster), Jean Herv Peron, Werner "Zappi" Diermaier, Rudolf Sosna, Gunther Wusthoff, and Armulf Meifert. Faust IV was originally released in 1973 and is a favourite of many Faust fans. This release features the remastered album on CD1 with a second disc containing Peel Sessions and previously unreleased tracks. EMI. 2006.

Insanely good album from the German legends.

February 15, 2016

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

One of my favorite albums ever by one of my favorite bands ever. Faust IV is nothing short of a spectacular krautrock album. The other day I was listening to MBV and out of nowhere thought "Krautrock by Faust totally sounds like shoegaze!!" so I stopped the Loveless album that was spinning, grabbed my Faust IV and threw it on to confirm my notion. Damn straight. I was so happy that I had discovered the beginnings of shoegaze, then realized other people who like gaze and Faust have only said the same thing as me... Oh well, LOL. Anyways, this record is so so so good it just makes my jaw drop every time. I never fail to start the album without finishing it all the way through every time, it just grabs my attention and doesn't let go until it's over. Oddly, it actually feels like an album, even though every song or snippet is so odd and different from the next.. Every song is magical. I won't go into the details of each song, because I'm horrible at that. But know this, if you do not have this album or any album by Faust for that matter, and you love good music that requires talent and creativity, then you NEED to get some Faust albums. Absolutely essential listening and very very fun to listen to. I hate the phrase "ahead of their time" as it is much overused, but in the case of this album, it is so perfectly applied, because this album truly is ahead of it's time. 1973!!?/@! Whaaaat! It could easily be made in 2047. From the sound effects, to the songs, to the way they play their instruments, it just screams future of music. I am never shy to recommend Faust to anyone who thinks they like music. Easily one of my top 5 favorite bands ever.

Unbelievable.

This record is so many things at once but truly just Faust when it all comes down to it. Proto-Shoegaze (Listen to "Krautrock" and tell me My Bloody Valentine didn't cop this style from our boys in Germany), psychotic pop songs, minimalist psychedelic....the album is a masterpiece from start to finish.

I smoke weed on the regular and this record is a true companion. Germany's finest. It transforms the air around you. If you listen to it as loud as possible, it only enhances the experience.

In the city I live in, this week alone it's been between 115-117 degrees. I listen to this record in my truck during these hot days. No working AC, just the heat and Faust. It fits perfectly.

Cop the record. It's a must for any fan of forward-thinking and mind altering music.

Faust IV ultimate edition

April 14, 2007

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

As a well-seasoned fan of Faust's music, my mania dating back to the early 80s, the question was - "Why buy Faust IV again?" Owning both the Virgin LP and the original Blue Plate CD reissue, did I really need this double CD edition? The answer of course is yes, as the original album has been given the exquisite digital remastering it deserved the first time around, as well as being issued for the first time with a correct track sequence and track times. The second disc includes the band's 1973 BBC session (available previously only as limited edition vinyl or in the Wümme Years boxed set), as well as some not-terribly-different alternate takes of album material. This release is an absolute must for fans, and a treat for those who've never owned these recordings before.

This album is amazing, but this download..

December 5, 2008

Format: MP3 MusicVerified Purchase

The thing that I myself found frustrating about this download is that it lacks three of the tracks that were released on the CD version of the remastered Faust IV. And of course, I downloaded the MP3 version before noticing that this was the case. Even though the remastered album is in its entirety, it is quite annoying - for a collector like myself - to realize this when it's to late. So if you're considering making the download, and would like the second disc in all its glory, I'd have to advise you to just spent the extra money and get the hard copy of the album; it is most definitely worth it..

After listening to the original since I was a kid it was nice to hear the new versions

The double CD with outtakes and alternate versions. After listening to the original since I was a kid it was nice to hear the new versions. This, and 71-Minutes of Faust are must haves for the old time Krautrock fan!
