Viva freaktronica! This month’s Electronic Sound cover stars are the legendary Faust, the wildest and weirdest of the 1970s krautrock outfits. We’ve interviewed all of the surviving original members of Faust for our cover piece, which starts in Hamburg with two trios combining into a single unit and ends in Munich just five years later, when the police arrest half of the band at Giorgio Moroder’s studios as they try to complete their fifth album. It’s a madcap story of counterculture abandon, disregard for music industry standards, inter-group personality clashes on an epic scale, and the pursuit of bold and brazen new sounds. It’s one heck of a read.
