After the poor sales of their debut album, Faust’s “So Far” (1972) presents the more commercial and accessible side of the legendary German krautrock band without giving up their advanced and experimental personality.
It is a perfect album to begin exploring the group's discography, featuring one of their most well-known songs, ‘It's a Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl,’ and is considered a striking work on par with Neu!'s first album or Can's “Tago Mago”. Preceding other artists like Throbbing Gristle and Nurse with Wound, Faust were pioneers in creating industrial and futuristic atmospheres using processed rhythms, as on the track ‘Mamie is Blue.’
An essential krautrock masterpiece. Remastered from the original tapes · 180g vinyl · Booklet included
