Uwe Nettelbeck, founder and mentor of Faust, died on January 17th.

Thank you Uwe for all you have done for our music. Faust is your work, no doubt ! Your work will outlast all of us. May your soul rest in peace. My sincere sympathy to his family Petra, Anouchka, Sandra, Elisha and Elsa. Many many members of the Faust List join me here to express their condolences:
The Faust List / Jean-Hervé Peron Joachim Irmler added: In a way, he was too close to me, so I cannot really express my feelings at the moment. At times, it felt like he was a brother. Asche auf mein Haupt! Requiescat in pace! 23 Oct 2006: Faust Book Launch / Faust Film Premiere

From the press release: "The bonus disc is completed with six previously unreleased tracks recorded by Uwe Nettelbeck. Beginning with a soporific take on Jennifer, followed by an alternate take of The Sad Skinhead, an extended version of Just a Second takes the track to greater levels of trance inducement, before ending in its almost trademark snare crack half roll. The ambient Piano Piece is reminiscent of Brian Eno's Another Green World - best known as the theme tune to the BBC documentary series Arena. A gentle and shimmering piece it is a gem tucked away on this second disc that concludes with alternate takes on Lauft and Giggy Smile." As with the existing release, the track listing doesn't mention the track Run seperately, although presumably it will stiill be there, tacked on to the end of Lauft. CD1: The original album, re-mastered

The DVD can be played in Dolby Digital 5.1, but offers the option to switch to stereo as well. With surround sound the original sounds are placed in the front while the editions are moving through the whole zone. For each song the ideas of the videos developed spontaneously, that means two minutes later a different story would have been told. The DVD is available in the shops or can be ordered at Zappi's homepage. The 'Impressions' Faust t-shirt (violet / all sizes) is also available from the site. Impressions >> Zappi's Site >> |
