LP - FAUST - MOMENTAUFNAHME III

Faust is a group of artists who shared intense musical experiences in the years 1971-1974. Supported by producer Uwe Nettelbeck and sound engineer Kurt Graupner, they produced an immense array of recordings in a studio in Wümme which had been set up just for them. Two compact album productions followed, recorded at the Manor (March 21-31 1973) and Musicland (May 6-12 1974).

This album presents a selection of recordings from this period, documenting their creative versatility and explosive dynamism. Some tracks are extremely raw and experimental, others are fully rounded productions. A collection of un- released snapshots which offer a wonderful insight into the world of Faust.

This volume includes recordings which have been previously released on other compilations such as "71 Minutes" and "BBC Sessions+". When reviewing this material for this album, some titles have been changed, e.g. "Ma Trompette (Alternative Version)" has been released as "Party 10" previously, "Zwölf Meter unter der Oberfläche" has been "(360)" and "Geister, die wir riefen" was "The Lurcher".
