3 stars Well , the original Lp was certainly just that: Original. Not only was the disc in transparent Vinyl (!?!?!) but the sleeve it came in was a sort of X-ray of a hand . Not this sorry excuse of sleeve here above . You can actually have an idea of it by looking at acetate sleeve of the 2 on 1 Cd re-release of 2000 in the discography. As far as the music is concerned , if you are not familiar with the music from Faust , start with the following one called So Far, because you will be in a shock as this is barely listenable at first and it took me quite some time to come to term with this strange minimalist music full of bizarre electronics doodlings. Krautrock probably never got so experimental this going much farther than CAN or NEU!. This is not for the faint hearted or for the neo proghead just starting out.
