Free Music Notes for Faust/Faust So Far
Free Music Review: Unbelievable
Hit: 2 Stars
The words 'avant garde' can mean many different things. I remember when that term was used for "Tomorrow Never Knows" by the Beatles in 1966, but calling Faust 'avant garde' is an excuse to minimize the reality of incompetence. I give them 2 stars only because their original record company exhibited unheralded bravery in actually signing Faust to a contract. These two titles - "Faust" and "So Far" - sound as if the band literally had no idea what they were doing. Either that or listeners were deliberately insulted with a vibe as charming and memorable as a visit to your dentist who has an attitude problem. Collectively, it is random sounds combined in irregular format, with exhaustive use of sound effects, rare tastes of what is called 'music', which strikes me as an effort to aurally demonstrate what music isn't, a level of creativity that requires very little talent, a level of divergence that renders the word creativity a joke, all resulting in the most embarrassing level of entertainment I think I've ever heard. Things that most musicians strive for, such as song construction, melody, harmony, arrangement, orchestration, timing, and voicing, are almost nowhere to be found. Worse, where it's heard is usually boring. Most vocals sound more like animals either in heat or being tortured, and at other times even the instruments they try to play are out of tune. Faust can be assessed in two ways: 1) if you find a morass of creepy but pointless noise good, then these titles are for you. Or 2), Faust is a band clever enough to have pulled off a superb con job by creating astonishingly low-quality muck that undoubtedly proves good PR and marketing can sell ANYTHING.
Faust/Faust So Far Poster
Julian Cope wrote, 'There is no group more mythical than Faust'. Both these albums have been very difficult to find for years. Now their first two CD's available on one CD. Their debut 'Faust' was truly a revolutionary step forward in the progress of 'rock music'. Originally released in 1971, it was pressed on clear vinyl, packaged in a clear sleeve, with a clear plastic lyric insert. The black X-ray of a fist on the cover graphically illustrates the hard core music contained in the grooves, electronics, rock tape edits, acoustic guitars, musique concrete and industrial angst. The second from 1972 moves closer to actual song structure, but still remains experimental. Standard jewel case. 2000 release.Alternative Rock Music CDs
