History

The group formed in 1971 in the rural setting of Wümme. Events February 5 - Eric Burdon & War disbanding They never performed togeather again until April 21 2008 at the Royal Albert Hall The Wümme is a River in northern Germany. It is the left tributary of the Lesum, which runs into the Weser River. They secured a lucrative record deal with Polydor and soon began recording their debut, Faust, which sold poorly but received critical acclaim for its innovative approach and established a devoted fanbase. Polydor Records is a Record label currently headquartered in the UK, and is a subsidiary of Universal Music Group. Faust is the 1971 debut Album by German Krautrock group Faust. Faust became one of the premier bands in the international appreciation of the genre that would eventually be known as krautrock. A music genre is a categorical and typological construct that identifies musical sounds as belonging to a particular category and type of music that can be distinguished from other Krautrock is a generic name for the Experimental music scene that appeared in Germany in the late 1960s and gained popularity throughout the 1970s especially in Britain

Faust became one of the first acts to sign to Richard Branson's Virgin Records, who embarked on a marketing campaign somewhat daring for its time, aimed at introducing Faust to UK record-buyers in as big a way as possible. Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson (born 18 July 1950 is an English Business magnate, best known for his Virgin brand of over 360 companies Virgin Records is a British Record label founded by English entrepreneur Richard Branson, Simon Draper, and Nik Powell The Faust Tapes was a cut-and-paste album which spliced together a large number of bits and pieces from their extensive collection of private recordings, not originally intended for release, but widely regarded today as their finest work. Virgin issued it at the then price of a single, 48 UK pence (they did the same the following year with Gong's Camembert Electrique album except that by then the price of a single had gone up to 59 pence). Gong is a progressive / Psychedelic rock band formed by Australian Musician Daevid Allen. The Faust Tapes reportedly sold over 100,000 copies but its low price tag rendered it ineligible for a chart placing.

Faust broke up in 1975 after Virgin had rejected their fifth album (some of the recordings later appeared on the "Munich and Elsewhere" album), but reissues of their recordings and various additional material through Chris Cutler's Recommended Records maintained a level of interest. Events January 2 - New York City US District Court Judge Richard Owen rules that former Beatle John Lennon and his lawyers Chris Cutler (born January 4, 1947) is an English percussionist composer lyricist and music theorist Recommended Records ( RēR) is a British Independent record label and distribution network founded by Chris Cutler in March 1978

The clear Faust album
The clear Faust album

Faust experimented with the presentation of some of their records. Their first album was originally on clear vinyl in a clear sleeve with an X-ray of a human fist silkscreened on the outer sleeve ("faust" is German for "fist"). Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink blocking stencil The second album, So Far made extensive use of black, though inside the sleeve were sheets with one illustration for each song. The Faust Tapes had a visually disturbing op art cover design by Bridget Riley, while that for Faust IV consisted of a series of blank music staves. Op art, also known as optical art, is a genre of visual Art, especially Painting, that makes use of Optical illusions Op art is also known as For the boxer see Bridgett Riley. Bridget Louise Riley CH CBE (born April 24, 1931 in Norwood Faust IV is a 1974 album by the pioneering German Krautrock group Faust. In standard Western Musical notation, the staff ( AmE) or stave The impact of these designs is largely lost in CD reissues.

After Faust's breakup, the group's whereabouts were unknown; the Recommended Records catalogues talked about the group's "disappearance". The official website lists three concerts during the 1980's, and the "Patchwork" album, a compilation of outtakes, feature three snippets that were recorded in the 80's, but apart from that, the group's activities between 1975 and 1990 remain shrouded in mystery.

In 1990, members Irmler, Diermaier and Péron reunited for performances. In 1994, Péron and Diermaier toured the United States for the first time, assisted by Steven Wray Lobdell. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the They have continued to perform in various combinations and with various additional musicians ever since.

In the booklet for The Wumme Years box set, Péron announced that Sosna had died on November the 10th 1996. Gunter Wüsthoff has not taken part in any of the reunions. Diermaier has always been behind the drum kit. Irmler was present, but contributed little to the reunited groups' first concerts, and did not participate in the 1994 US tour, but took a more active role after that, producing the groups' records and releasing them on his Klangbad label. He also compiled and edited the "Patchwork" album.

In 1996, Diermaier and Péron meet Olivier Manchion and Amaury Cambuzat (Ulan Bator). Olivier Manchion (1971 -) is a french musician born in Suresnes, near Paris. Ulan Bator is a French experimental Post-rock band founded in 1993 by Amaury Cambuzat and Olivier Manchion. They performed for the first time together as "Collectif Met(z)" in November 1996 (this quartet is the basis of an actual Faust line-up and this concert is part of a 2005 release). A few days after, Faust performed at the Garage in London and at the Transmusicales de Rennes, featuring Chris Cutler. Chris Cutler (born January 4, 1947) is an English percussionist composer lyricist and music theorist

Péron left the group in June 1997. From mid-1997 to 2004, Faust tours as Zappi W. Diermaier, Hans Joachim Irmler, Steven Wray Lobdell, Lars Paukstat, Michael Stoll.

Diermaier and "art-errorist" Péron rejoined in 2004 by immediately recording Trial and Error, a DVD released in 2007 by Fuenfundvierzig Label. Zappi proposed to Péron to start a "new" Faust together with Olivier Manchion and Amaury Cambuzat from Ulan Bator. Ulan Bator is a French experimental Post-rock band founded in 1993 by Amaury Cambuzat and Olivier Manchion. Diermaier/Péron's new Faust made their debut at the Art-Errorist Avant Garde festival in Schiphorst, Germany, where they also presented a new release entitled Collectif Met(z), a collection of live, new and unreleased songs. Schiphorst is a municipality in the district of Lauenburg, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. This incarnation of the group has been extremely active, releasing several CD-Rs and DVD-Rs and touring extensively, including a very successful autumn 2005 UK tour, released in 2007 as . . . In Autumn by Dirter. This release also features ex Henry Cow saxophonist/flautist Geoff Leigh, vocalist Lucianne Lassalle, poet Zoë Skoulding and the members of the Welsh group Ectogram.

It was released to tie in with the 2007 Schiphorst Avant Garde festival in July 2007.

In extreme contrast with Slapp Happy's song-based music, in 1972 Péron, Sosna and Diermaier also collaborated with the violinist Tony Conrad on an album entitled Outside the Dream Syndicate; the record was released at a low price in the UK and was at the time one of the few available examples of drone-based minimalism.
