Faust 1971-1974 is new box set, available on CD and vinyl, that collects the music of Faust, the band who are strongly associated with Krautrock movement in West German.

That is, Faust (1971), So Far (1972) , The Faust Tapes (1973) and Faust IV (1973). It also includes Punkt, a 1974 album that has never been released (recorded at Giorgio Moroder’s Musicland Studios) and unissued studio tracks collected on Momentaufnahme I and Momentaufnahme II. The final disc in the CD version contains material from two seven-inch singles which feature in the vinyl box set.

The first seven inch features ‘Lieber Herr Deutschland’, the demo recording the band sent to Polydor in 1971 (eventually issued as the B-side to their single ‘Baby’) while the second is ‘So Far’, the very first Faust single on Polydor (originally issued in 1972).

Faust 1971-1974 is very limited with just 2,000 copies available as the 7LP+2×7″ set and an even lower number (1,000) on CD.

VA - Krautrock - Music for your Brain Vol.2 [6 CD, 2007]

  

Krautrock is a generic name for the experimental music scenes that appeared in Germany in the late 1960s and gained popularity throughout the 1970s, especially in Britain. The term is a result of the English-speaking world's reception of the music at the time and not a reference to any one particular scene, style, or movement, as many krautrock artists were not familiar with one another. BBC DJ John Peel in particular is largely credited with spreading the reputation of krautrock outside of the German-speaking world.

Largely divorced from the traditional blues and rock & roll influences of English and American rock music up to that time, the period contributed to the birth and evolution of electronic music, ambient music, alternative music and New Age music. Key artists associated with the tag include Can, Amon Düül II, Ash Ra Tempel, Faust, Popol Vuh, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Neu!, and Kraftwerk.
