Faust
Faust formed in 1971 in Wümme, near Hamburg, where the producer Uwe Nettelbeck had installed them in a converted schoolhouse with a studio and a Polydor advance. The debut, Faust, sold poorly but its cut-up of tape collage, rock and noise won a devoted following; The Faust Tapes (1973), sold by Virgin for the price of a single, and Faust IV made them a leading krautrock band. The group broke up in 1975 and reappeared in the 1990s in two branches.
