"There is no group more mythical than Faust." Thus wrote English musician and eccentric Julian Cope in his classic of the
genre, “Krautrocksampler”. Which says it all really, neither the habitus nor the music of the six piece Hamburg group is
easy to grasp. Whilst some lauded Faust as the best thing that ever happened to rock, others dismissed them as shameless
Dilettantes. Their collage of Dadaism, avantgarde rock and free improvisation radically divided opinion. Their legend was
built on the fact that, in the early days, they addressed the media through their producer and manager Uwe Nettelbeck
(1940–2006). Precious little was known about the musicians themselves.

When the first LP was unleashed on the world in 1971, Faust were very much the prophet in his own land, as the saying goes:
few were interested in listening to their music – in Germany. Not so across the Channel: this is where Faust’s career
really kickstarted. These monoliths of avant-garde rock sold a phenomenal 100,000 copies of their third album “The Faust
Tapes”, one of the first releases of the Virgin label, then in its infancy.

Now that Krautrock has been revived, thanks to the efforts of bands such as Stereolab and Tortoise in the Nineties, Faust
have become one of the biggest names to drop. Worldwide. Their concerts in the USA, Middle East, Japan and Europe are
invariably sold out.

Since 2007, the line-up of the Krautrock legend has comprised founder members Jean-Hervé Peron and Zappi Diermaier, the
English musician James Johnston, founder of the brutish blues rockers Gallon Drunk and long-standing member of Nick Cave &
the Bad Seeds, plus the English painter, filmmaker, author and musician Geraldine Swayne.

On their latest album, "something dirty" the creativity and musical ideas of these four personalities coal.......

Inspirująco, innowacyjnie - faustowsko: legenda krautrocka uwielbia brud, stąd też tytuł płyty.
Faust to niezaprzeczalnie jedno z najważniejszych w historii objawień muzycznych, obok Can uważani są za prekursorów
kraut-rocka, dla fanów industrialu pozostają wciąż ikoną, na którą wciąż powołują się kolejne pokolenia muzyków.
Poprzez zawirowania personalne w ciągu ostatnich kilku lat mamy jednak do czynienia z dwoma, równolegle istniejącymi i
równoważnymi Faustami - jeden dowodzony przez Jochena Irmlera, drugi przez Zappi W. Diermaiera i Jeana-Herve Perona, który
wydaje się być bardziej aktywny.
Nowy album Faust, nagrany przez Zappiego, Jeana-Herve oraz Jamesa Johnstona (Gallon Drunk, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) i
Geraldine Swayne jest niezwykle hipnotyczny, psychodeliczny, dadaistyczny, transowy i brudny...., czyli to, do czego Faust
przyzwyczaił nas już od 40 lat! Udało im się także uchwycić na tej płycie nagranej w studio energię swoich energetycznych
koncertów,
