Faust   / artists (F) Profile: German for "fist", Faust were one of the first bands to use the recording studio as an instrument. After two albums for Polydor, they signed with the fledgling Virgin label. Priced as a single, "The Faust Tapes" album sold a staggering 50,000 + copies - amazing since it is one amazingly weird pastiche. Their live appearances were explosive (literally), as the pinball machines and jack-hammer legends detail. The band carried on for nearly two years after "IV", however that album, recorded outside the Wumme studio, was their last. Faust came back in 1995 with a new series of albums and live appearances. Since 2003 two different bands, both having original members, carrying the name Faust are active. Please do only submit pre-2003 Faust recordings in this profile. Recordings from 2003 and later should be submitted under Faust (6) when it concerns the Faust with Joachim Irmler or under Faust (7) when it concerns the Faust with Jean-Hervé Peron and Werner 'Zappi' Diermaier.

FAUST were the first to ever release a clear visible vinyl . That was more amazing , since that first album by this group had a Röntgen-ray-picture of a hand with a fist (faust in german) packed together with the clear vinyl into one visible plastic-cover . That efect was indeed mindblowing . As soon as i saw that one , i had to own it , reagrdless what was recorded on it . In fact it was typical Kraut-Rock in the vein of XHOl-Caravan , early Amon Düül or Kraftwerk . Hardly any music on it , but one nice tune with a young hippy woman saying "Möhren , ich mag Möhren" ( from "Steig Auf Die Leiter") , influenced by Pink Floyds "Marmelade , I like marmelade" on Meddle .
Of course i sold this rubbish a couple years later (to my regret now) . Since i would probably get a fortune for it as it was the first pressing i bought around 1971/early 72 . I never was into collecting stamps ,or paying 10 times the price for a record (often in less good shape or sound) with the 'right number' on it . After all it is the music that counts and unless you actually own the masters you always have a duplicate and not the original . But this is something a lot of us will disagree about .
