Album Notes & Community Reviews
Originally sold for the price of a single to successfully introduce the German avant-garde to British audiences, this album is an absolute whirlwind of chaotic tape editing. 'The Faust Tapes' is a wonderfully manic, fiercely eclectic sound collage masterpiece, blending intensely noisy Musique concr猫te with wildly surreal, deeply playful psychedelic Krautrock improvisations.
