Faust
Momentaufnahme Ii
Originally part of 2021's Faust Box Set release commemorating the bands 50th anniversary Momentaufnahme I and II are now set for their own stand alone release by popular demand. This is for all those that missed out on the limited edition box set release. They collect together music recorded at the band's studio - a converted schoolhouse in rural Wuemme between 1971 and 1974 in a similar vein to the way in which 'The Faust Tapes' (released in 1973) was assembled. These two albums range from minimal electronic pulses, ambient dreamscapes, vocal collages to heavy drone, ritualistic percussion and psychedelic grooves. Highlights include the hypnotic space jams of 'Vorsatz' and 'Rueckwaerts Durch Die Drehtuer" the delicate acoustics of 'I Am... An Artist' and the radiophonic workship-esq 'Weird Sounds Sound Bizarre'.
