0656. Faust
Faust IV

Going into krautrock territory again, the pseudo-genre better called (West) German experimental. This time it isn't Neu! or any other we've already heard here on the list (just to namedrop a bit), but Faust, an act that got signed pretty quick and then progressed to release four albums in under three years.
Faust IV was their final album as their fifth got rejected by the label, causing them to break up for a decade or two.

But what about the music?
To be frank it's hard to say anything definitivte as it's a sense of "anything goes" throughout the album. The first track, called Krautrock, is stereotypical Can-style krautrock - a meandering jam - while the second, The Sad Skinhead, is sort-of ska, played in an amateurish way. And so it goes on, fluctuating from one extreme to another.

A surprise is that there is a sample from some Swedish film about either racial hygiene or just one of the (racist) "sex instruction" films back from when horny the nation's name flew across the earth.

Not really sure what to say about that either.
