Faust — Momentaufnahme I (Vinyl)
$64.00
Regular price $48.00It’s tempting to say that Faust were ahead of their time, but it’s more like they’re outside of time, beaming in strange sci-fi rituals from some alternate timeline where reindeer-antlered trance musicians gather around modular synths set in the walls of a prehistoric temple where they gather to summon and commune with extraterrestrial sentient plant life.
Momentaufnahme I, which translates to “snapshot,” is a collection of studio outtakes and rarities recorded between 1971 and 1974 that never made their way onto albums, originally collected for a lavish box set released in 2021.
This was Faust’s most fertile and prolific period, as well as a Golden Age for kosmische music in general, after which Faust virtually fell off the face of the planet for decades.
This alone would make 14 tracks of brand-new old recordings from Faust enough to drive psych fiends as mad as rare book mold. These odds and sods are so much more than barrel scrapings, though, crammed full of interesting ideas, distinctive textures and imaginative sound design, all crystallizing to summon a sense of metaphysical mystery and otherworldly aura.
Recordings from 1971-1974.
First released on 2021-10-08 as part of the Faust - 1971-1974 box set.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
