KRAUT & FREAK OUT

This is a rarity with no title or catalogue number making it hard to track down when searching!

Released in 1996, just after 'Rien' and prior to the release of 'YOU KNOW faUSt', possibly a promotional cd only? Simply titled 'faust' on the cover.

The CD features 6 songs (some old, some new) all having a 1996 remix treatment.

Faust

V (The Unreleased Virgin Promotional Cassette) - 1975


Following the release of their (now) legendary Faust IV LP and the subsequent tour, but shortly before being dropped from their Virgin label, krautrock pioneers Faust took it upon themselves to record their fifth album and run up an ongodly studio bill. Once Virgin got wind of the proceedings, the band had to quite literally escape from their studio and were subsequently arrested when they attempted to sneak back in to retrieve their tapes. Despite having been released from their Virgin contract, a promotional cassette of these sessions began to mysteriously circulate, and either because the result of those high-dollar sessions was so incredible or the fact that the tape was so difficult to come by, those who had heard it claimed it to be the finest work of the band's career. Now that the tape has become readily available some 30 years on, I lean towards the former. Filled with abstract, mechanized grooves, cut and paste collages and wildly imaginative guitar freakouts, the result is quite unlike anything happening in its day, and had it been released, would join Can's Tago Mago or Neu! 75 in the pantheon of krautrock's elite.

Can

Soon Over Babaluma - 1974

The final LP in what many refer to as Can's "golden period," Soon Over Babaluma was also their first album following the departure of vocalist Damo Suzuki. As a logical progression from the ambient funk of its predecessor Future Days, Soon Over Babaluma explored this theme even further and featured guitarist Michael Karoli and keyboardist Irmin Schmidt taking over Suzuki's vocal duties with surprisingly effective results. While they would continue to produce music that was a marked improvement over their krautrock contemporaries, this LP is the last of their career that worked well as a whole, and (coincidentally) their final album to be recorded using a two-track recorder. Amazing, amazing stuff.

Captain Beefheart and His Magic Bands

Railroadism (Live in the USA 72-81)



What a fine collection! Although it's heavy on recordings from the Captain's late 70s-early 80s "comeback" period, this live compilation pulls together so many of the facets that made his live appearances so brilliantly bizarre; the bits of spoken word, the baiting of a surly audience, and a band that both sounds like it's being held together by a thread but could nail every inch of music with razor-sharp precision. Perhaps most memorable is that at least three different incarnations of his Magic Band are represented, and thanks to meticulous track selection and sequencing, the effect of presenting the hodgepodge as a singular concert is overwhelmingly successful. The highlights are numerous, but my favorites include "The Blimp," "I'm Gonna Booglarize You Baby" and "Dirty Blue Jean."

Captain Beefheart - NEW & IMPROVED!

The Brown Star Sessions - 1972


The 1972 sessions that produced the Spotlight Kid and Clear Spot LPs marked a new era in the recording career of Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band. With the Captain appearing to have loosened the structural death grip he imposed on his musicians since the Trout Mask Replica LP, the tracks that make up the Brown Star Sessions illustrate the band exploring some new turf by stretching out the tunes and taking their polyrhythmic mayhem to new heights. The results are similar in feel to the officially released Mirror Man Sessions, but more relaxed and varied in style and instrumentation. A number of the tracks here are either instrumental or wildly different versions than those that would appear on Spotlight Kid, Clear Spot and subsequent LPs. Check out the rubbery "Boogler Risin'", which later became "I'm Gonna Booglarize You Baby" and the slower than molasses take on "Clear Spot." The fidelity here is better in some points than others (some sound like studio masters, others contain a little tape hiss) but this is easy to overlook when the music is as potent as this stuff. Enjoy a good freak out.
