Faust's comeback album
You Know FaUSt is a surprisingly vital return, finding the group at the wild, recklessly experimental peak of
The Faust Tapes and
Faust IV. Largely shedding the blistering musique concrete of their reunion concerts, the band concentrates on creating mainly instrumental soundscapes of synthesizers, organs, horns, droning guitars and pulsating rhythms. While the sound isn't as revolutionary as it once was, it is undeniably more accomplished -- and frequently just as exciting -- as their earlier recordings.
