Now for the first time, the German iconoclasts' previously unreleased fifth album sees the light of day as \u003ci\u003ePunkt.\u003c\/i\u003e Not only does this title place a bold full stop after the final recording by the group's seminal line up of Péron, Irmler, Sosna, Wüsthoff and Diermaier, but it also references the unflinching anarchism of German rock's ultimate outsiders. Punkt is Faust at their most unhindered, untethered and unstoppable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturning to Germany after a loss-making U.K. tour and after their manager Uwe Nettelbeck had split with them,the group dusted themselves down and planned their next project, what would have been their second for Richard Branson's Virgin. Joined as always by their engineering genius Kurt Graupner, the band took residence in the Arabella High Rise Building, the luxury hotel which housed Giorgio Moroder's Musicland Studio in its basement. At the time, the Italian's space disco odyssey was yet to blast off, and he gave the group the studio downtime around his sessions with Donna Summer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOff the leash and on the lash (running up a record breaking room service bill), Faust spent their nights below ground, creating the sublime cacophony which courses through these seven tracks. Driven by Diermaier's primitive repetition and Péron's rabid low end growl, \"Morning Land\" stomps its way through almost ten minutes of heavy psychedelia. Vocals disintegrate into the sonic landslide of guitar feedback and synth scree, momentum building until the track rends open the hellmouth with its unthinkable heft. A Luciferian spirit courses through the beatless \"Crapolino\", a tumult of scorched guitar chords, strident FXs and disembodied vocals which bares all the hallmarks of a black mass. And just like that, the group summon some demonic hunting party for \"Knochentanz\" (bone dance), arguably their most immersive creation. Opening with Péron's plangent horn, the track soon establishes a hypnotic c ounterpoint between Irmler's electronic sequences and Diermaier's sparse rhythm, a pulse which continues to build for six minutes as kick drum, snare, shaker and toms pile on beneath the ever-present drone. The storm clears for a second to allow a celestial chord progression to emerge from the darkness before the heavens open and Sosna's snarling, sawing guitar rains down from above, carrying \"Knochentanz\" through its final iteration, a collision of muscular fretwork, percussion freakout and bleeping organ which completes the most psychedelic recording you've never heard. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frazzled optimism of \"Fernlicht\" buzzes away like an acid Beethoven bathed in neons, before the breathless \"Juggernaut\" stretches the definition of blues rock to its limit as squirming sine waves, clattering cymbals and corrosive guitars pan, reverse and overlap, each following its own unhinged rhythm. Then for a time the sound and the fury abate, making space for the frankly sublime \"Schön Rund\", a piano-led diversion into the soul-swelling realms of ECM jazz and fin de siècleimpressionism, which rivals anything else in their catalogue for pure beauty. And in case you thought they'd gone soft, Faust sign off with the guttural groans and course drones of \"Prends Ton Temps\". After ten days of recording, it became clear that Branson wasn't footing the bill and Péron, Irmler and Sosna were arrested until the mothers of Sosna and Irmler paid the bill - though not before smuggling the master tapes into an undisclosed location, where they've waited ever since...\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bureau B","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50383911158091,"sku":"1147489","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50383911027019,"sku":"1147488","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2c802bfc-2501-47ad-a130-ebaeb769988b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726278234"},{"product_id":"machu-picchu","title":"Machu Picchu","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTangerine Dream's\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eMachu Picchu\u003c\/em\u003e is one of the more intimate projects not planned for release during the composing and recording process.

Those already familiar with Edwards’ work will likely know him for fronting the cultishly great Ulrika Spacek, and given he operates as the principal songwriter in both projects, much of the same hallmarks of his cathartic, elliptical songwriting are present in Astrel K.

Indeed, diffusion, dissolution and reconstitution feel like appropriate touchstones for its recurring themes. Written amidst the flux of two states, at once isolated from home and then any established emotional anchor, the resulting eleven tracks came to represent a precognitive search for shifting identity and with it forming an unwittingly biographical record. It's commendable and somewhat telling that during this shake up, Edwards somehow landed upon his most realised and original work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor all its troubled origins, \u003ci\u003eThe Foreign Department\u003c\/i\u003e is a remarkably warm sounding collection.

Edwards sings variously of crises, \"torrid pieces of art\", of \"houses on fire\" and not \"having the guts for it\", yet these troubling sentiments are framed by seemingly incongruous swelling strings, chirping horns or motorik percussion, creating that sense of pushing forward or floating above, of wrapping your troubles in dreams, a salve for the moments when you get a bit too much for yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tough Love","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50383970107723,"sku":"2178437","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50383970238795,"sku":"2175331","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e619991c-80b5-edd7-7ba6-fee3846803a6_4e187bd0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726281014"},{"product_id":"vanities","title":"Vanities","description":"\u003cp\u003eW H Lung return with album number two - a record that is direct, punchy and potent.

Having finished a first musical chapter with their Steeple Chase Bluesband and still at the very young age of only 17 and 18 years old, Manuel Göttsching and Hartmut Enke met Klaus Schulze. Together they started to write and compose what, to many, became one of the holy grails of Psychedelic Rock and early Electronic Music – the German variant which was later also named “Krautrock”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere we would like the Band to be heard, for what can easily be said as the first time in 50+ years, with the exception of some early Journalists for whom the young Manuel Göttsching wrote a statement of intent (the original text can be found inside this edition) as following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Our musical concept is based on a combination of blues rock and delicate collages of electronic sound. These two elements should remain inseparable. And in their complex unity, the different musical philosophies of each musician find a common sweet spot.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Our music is a permanently impulsive experience left to develop as it will, starting from a common fixed point of departure. This is where the difficulty of the music begins: No standardized formulation of our music can and should be possible. Only the constant reaction within the band can determine the musical result. And this requires constant listening with full concentration on the part of the creators.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“The idea of a particular musician will be – if flexible enough – absorbed by the others, transposed to their own instrument, and reflected back into the music as an individual contribution. This reciprocity within the band is then transferred over to the audience. And this process means that their reaction is not only a contribution to the end result; it actually makes them jointly responsible for the creation of the final musical product.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“On our album, the track “Amboss” represents the first layer. Conventional instruments communicate familiar music which is in part expanded through electronic means. In the second track of the album – “Traummaschine” – the actual basic sound approach is dissolved into an electronic Nirvana which no longer allows the concrete identification of actual instruments. Innocent, virgin listening, free from any and every association, can finally begin – and the music can be absorbed and processed free from the limitations of categorization. That is the purpose of our music: To convey freedom without any predetermined criteria or tradition.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MG Art","offers":[{"title":"LP - Clear","offer_id":50390064038219,"sku":"2051426","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":50390063939915,"sku":"2051425","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50390064202059,"sku":"2176214","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/MGART611_9c450cc5_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726381939"},{"product_id":"soundtracks-2","title":"Soundtracks","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSoundtracks\u003c\/i\u003e, a compilation of songs Can had composed for different movies, was released in 1970 before the band started work on their second album.

Nonetheless, most of his partners were of flesh and blood. His oeuvre, which is in itself cinematic in nature, boasts a cast worthy of a Martin Scorsese film. Only the most interesting character actors were cast: Brian Eno, Phew, Rolf Dammers, David Sylvian, Annie Lennox, Jah Wobble, his Can bandmates… The list could go on and on.

Transferred from the original master tapes and carefully remastered by HaGü Schmitz and Dieter Wegner. The timing was right: Five years earlier would have been too early, five years later would have been too late. But ANNEXUS QUAM from Kamp-Lintfort near Düsseldorf came along with the right music at the right moment. The seven-piece band formed in 1967 as Ambition Of Music; they were what was then called a \"beat group\". In 1970, working with a local trombone choir led to a dramatic change of direction. Trombone, clarinet, saxophone, scat-like vocals, various percussion, even a bicycle pump or a guitar played below the bridge found their way into the band. ANNEXUS QUAM, in a unique way, mixed two musical genres: rock and free jazz, but the group played both differently from what could be heard otherwise at that time. Elements of psychedelic rock with heavy organ sounds were combined with freely dabbed brass notes; at the same time the band was closer to Stockhausen's concept of \"Intuitive Music\" than to the expressive group improvisations of free jazz musicians. The genre names sound familiar, but ANNEXUS QUAM filled them with new meaning. There are hardly any formal structures in ANNEXUS QUAM's music, the musicians control the ensemble sound intuitively by concentrated listening to each other. But the free playing is not limitless. Not every musician always has to play at the same time, the breaks are also important here. Despite all the freedom, the pieces remain comprehensible.

His association with the Hardwax Spectrum is clearly audible, but Kimmo Saastamoinen, as he is actually known, has long since found his own sound: Subtly driving, always slightly melancholic and peppered with billowing delays that you want to immerse yourself in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe number of projects in which Mense Reents has already participated is enormous. Let's limit ourselves here to his electronic projects Egoexpress and Die Vögel - and of course Die Goldenen Zitronen, among whose incredibly accomplished musicianship he is a big part of. The song \u003cem\u003eBewegung\u003c\/em\u003e is given a subtle dancehall riddim and so many amazing details are flying around in the sound so that close-listening is recommended here without doubt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe biggest surprise is probably delivered by Ada: instead of moving the track \u003cem\u003eAufgehoben\u003c\/em\u003e, recorded again with Dorau, to the club, she simply wrote new music around the vocals, singing over them herself while picking up the trace elements of the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMichaela Dippel has ventured furthest away from the foundation and yet remains true to it: she picked up the melody that was lying there (according to the text) on the floor, sang it - and it sounded beautiful.
