Schiphorst 2008

2009 release from the German experimental Kraut rockers. This release documents the band before an audience of friends, fellow artists and fans from all over Europe at last year's Avant Garde Festival - held quite literally in co-founder Peron's back yard. A friendly audience yes, but one not easily impressed. Faust did not disappoint! From the spontaneous vocal improvisation during the soundcheck (preserved here as track one), through walkabout serenading of Peron's beloved pig with firework backing, painting and power tools amongst the crowd, to the blistering performance of the anthemic "Krautrock" this soon joined the list of legendary shows for this most legendary of bands. As a bonus, and continuing the theme of collaboration from last year's Disconnected and Fini! releases, the last track presents the finale of Nurse With Wound's festival set and features Jean-Herv? Peron and Steven Stapleton dueting on 'Rock 'N' Roll Session'. Salamanda.
