Faust
Something Dirty
Exactly 40 years after their debut, Faust have come up with another archetypical album: inspiring, innovative, unpredictable, crossing boundaries, anarchic - Faustian! "something dirty" is a definitive milestone in the long history of this worldfamous musical institution from Hamburg. It is at once hypnotic, repetitive, melodic, exhilarating, psychedelic, menacing, dadaist, ethereal. Faust: formed in Hamburg in 1970, one of the main protagonists of Krautrock. Successful overseas, viewed with suspicion at home. Now revered worldwide as pioneers of avant-garde rock music. Band line-up: Jean Herve Peron, Zappi W. Diermaier (both founder members), James Johnston (Gallon Drunk, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds), Geraldine Swayne (.Bender, Bad Servant).
