Item description from seller

London The Faust Pages 2006 Softcover, 232pp., 14x22cm., ills; in b/w., in very good condition. ISBN 9780955066450. Illustrated music monograph dedicated to the German krautrock group Faust, including discographies, bibliographies, manifest texts and analytical studies of the band's recordings from 1970 to 1975. This study examines the history and musical evolution of the legendary German experimental rock group Faust between 1970 and 1975. Andy Wilson analyses the band's principal albums and situates their work within the broader cultural and political climate of postwar Germany and the international counterculture movement. The book explores themes such as krautrock, avant-garde composition, improvisation and studio experimentation, while also documenting the group's lasting influence on later experimental and industrial music scenes. Additional material includes concert reviews, discographies, bibliographies and the complete text of the Faust Manifesto from 1973. The book follows Faust chronologically from their formation under the direction of Polydor Records through their groundbreaking recordings of the early and mid-1970s. Each chapter focuses on a particular album, recording session or collaborative project and combines historical research with detailed musical analysis. Wilson discusses the band's use of tape manipulation, electronic sound processing, improvisation and avant-garde aesthetics, as well as their collaborations with figures such as Tony Conrad. The volume also contains extensive reference material including discographies, live performance documentation and bibliographic resources. The publication is regarded as one of the most comprehensive English-language studies devoted to Faust and the wider krautrock movement. / "There is no group more mythical than Faust" Julian Cope "When the Germans do something, they don't fuck around" Jean-Hervé Péron From the publisher: September 2006 sees the release of this book about Faust, the legendary krautrock group. Fully illustrated, it contains reviews all of the group's records from the period 1970-75 as well as recounting the rise of krautrock and its relation to the social upheavals of the '60s. There is also a discography, bibliographies, live reviews and the text of the group's 1973 manifesto as well as essays on music and time and the group's relation to the work of Frank Zappa. From the dustjacket: In 1970 Polydor Records funded an unusual experiment. They gave some unknown German musicians a retreat in the countryside near Hamburg, equipped it with a studio and their best engineer, then left them free to do as they liked. This is the story of Faust and the music they made between 1970 and 1975, music which continues to inspire and confound listeners to this day. About the author: Andy Wilson has been running the Faust web site, the Faust-Pages for over a decade now, during which time he has collected information about the band, interviewed band members and generally researched the group's history. Now he has collected that information into a book. He lives in Hackney, London, and has been listening to Faust for the best part of a lifetime.
