After the poor sales of their debut album, Faust's So Far (1972) presents the more commercial and accessible side of the legendary German krautrock band without giving up their adv anced and experimental personality. It is a perfect album to begin exploring the group's discography, featuring one of their most well-known songs, "It's a Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl," and is considered a striking work on par with Neu!'s first album or Can's "Tago Mago." Preceding other artists like Throbbing Gristle and Nurse with Wound, Faust were pioneers in creating industrial and futuristic atmospheres using processed rhythms. An essential krautrock masterpiece. Remastered from the original tapes. 180g vinyl. Booklet included. Their approach to rock includes elements of electronic music and improvisation, drones and dissonance, becoming one of the main groups in the kosmische musik movement also known as krautrock. Their debut album was innovative and received critical acclaim but did not sell well. Unavailable on vinyl for quite some time, here is a much-awaited reissue of an essential krautrock masterpiece.
