Faust is another of those bands where I'd vaguely heard the name but hadn't heard, so was keen to check them out with the 1001 albums list.
It is certainly an interesting listen from one of the early krautrock bands. Faust not only weren't offended by this slightly deprecatory term, they used it as the title of the opening track of this album; an 11 or 12 minute wall of experimental sound.
The album contains a mix of more cohesive, melodic sections and sprawling experimental parts... in the case of the last track "It's a bit of a pain" it's both at the same time. It's a nice melodic piece, but on the choruses, crazy noises suddenly kick in.
