Faust V
 

http://mendedrecords.blogspot.com/20...t-v.html#links
In 1974, totally stressed out by the tiresome touring & general 'rock lifestyle' their signing with Virgin brought upon them, Faust took a one-year sabbatical to lick their wounds & regroup. In 1975 they gathered in Munich to record material for their next Virgin album. Or they thought so. Virgin by then didn't want to have anything with these troublemakers & cut the money flow. The group even ended up in jail (read all about this and much more on the remarkable Faust site) and subsequently fell apart. So, there was no fifth album. But the advance promo tapes came out and that's what we have today as evidence of this great 'lost' album. And it's great, indeed. It's a shame this didn't came out as a proper release, for i think that it would stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the first two classic Faust albums. Anyway. There are several versions of this tape in circulation, this one i choosed to put up here for you is the basic promo-tape extended with some more material from the same sessions. About half of this was released in the late eighties by Recommended as part of the 'Munich & Elsewhere' compilation. Here is the whole thing, and more.
After an early-90's reunion, Faust is still active and making great music. In fact, so active that today there are two 'versions' of Faust, both led by core-members, that peacefuly coexist. They were always unique...
Picture: Faust in London's Covent Garden circa 1972/73 with Peter Blegvad & Uli Trepte. Watch out for the forthcoming book!

Repped. I've been meaning to read more about Faust. I have only a single album and it's totally sick.


Why don't you eat Carrots?

Cheers.Now you also have their lost album.

fine links ye be posting here tonight.

yargh.

Argh, this is on horrible rapidshare which NEVER lets me download stuff. Could some kind, kind soul possibly upload it to a more friendly sharing thing like sendspace or yousendit or something?

Rapidshare is indeed crap and it only lets you download 1 thing every 300 years.

This should work:

Or, here are the MP3s: Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, Baby Rock Out, Duck A L'Orange, Warble Up, Jugger's Knot, Triump Ent.

Thankyouthankyouthankyou. The yousendit seems to be working fine. Thanks porky!

Excellent.

Glad you got it.Check out the world music thread as we always post top notch stuff on there.

I'll definitely look into it. Their EP is pretty good, and I like "V" even more! Faust have really been appealing to me lately
