ON THIS MONTH: MUSIC faUSt Experimental krautrock legends How did you get to be so anti-conformist? It had a lot to do with the upheaval of ’68: there was the need for a bit of fresh air. The air was sticky with old generals... we needed a reversal of the situation, an evolution if not a revolution. You used music to make a political point? I was born an artist in a musical family, and so music became the obvious language to express myself. Music is powerful because it triggers fantasies, and leaves huge room for your own interpretation. Could you call faUSt a radical jazz band? Not at all! Jazz musicians practise their scales up and down: one of our first principles was that we don’t practise, we just play. A more adequate description of us is ‘enlightened dilettantes’. You soon got pigeon-holed as ‘krautrock’. It’s an ugly word, that’s for sure. And ‘kraut’, of course, is an insulting term. But it’s an interesting one: at first the English music press needed a term for the interesting music coming out of Germany, then it rapidly developed into a specific description of a new established genre, before prostituting itself to mean any music from Germany that was a bit repetitive. You exploded onto the record-buying British market with The Faust Tapes on Virgin Records… An exceptional cocktail. It was produced by Uwe Nettelbeck and marketed by Richard Branson, both very clever, far-seeing people. Richard was a visionary. He picked us up after we had been dropped by Polydor for being undesirables. Well, we remained undesirables, so he dropped us too, but not before we made him a hit record. An album for the price of a single! It was financially successful – though not for us – and it is an excellent, hugely influential record: music as collage, cut and paste techniques. We threw a stone in the pond and quite a few ripples appeared. In the late 70s you ‘disappeared’. That is part of our legend. It was a grey period in the faUSt saga. We breathed. We moved our bowels. We generated children. We still played music, but we’d had enough of the music business, so we played outside that. There’s more than one faUSt playing nowadays… There were originally six musicians in the band, all from different backgrounds or nationalities: communication difficulties, there were lots, lots, lots. After 50 years there was bound to be a split, and now we are two. One is the live faUSt, and the other is [Hans Joachim] Irmler, who is more into the recording side: he’s doing splendid things, and we splendidly ignore each other and don’t throw stones at each other. Are you still a political band? Without being dogmatic about it, more so than ever. What do you think of Brexit? You Britons are still driving on the wrong side of the road, but your kitchen is better than it used to be.
