Flavor of the week #11

Faust
www.myspace.com/faustpages
( ;D --> "There is no group more mythical than Faust." Thus wrote English musician and eccentric Julian Cope in his classic of the genre, Krautrocksampler. Which says it all really -- neither the habitus nor the music of the six-piece Hamburg group is easy to grasp. Formed in Hamburg in 1970, some lauded Faust as the best thing that ever happened to rock, others dismissed them as shameless dilettantes. Almost 40 years since they began, Faust are issuing a brand new studio album. Original members Jean-Hervé Peron and Werner "Zappi" Diermaier were joined in the Electric Avenue studio by Amaury Cambuzat (from the French post-rock combo Ulan Bator). Star indie producer Tobias Levin recorded. The results sound fantastic! Typically Dadaist lyrics (mostly in French) accompany repetitive, sporadically overflowing patterns. Faust's music combines seemingly contradictory .)

Empire of the Sun

( ;D --> Australia's Empire of the Sun are dance music duo Pnau and Luke Steele of schizophrenic indie-poppers the Sleepy Jackson. Their spacey electro-pop backdrop starts with a crisp house rhythm and reverby, Italo-informed synth sounds similar to those on Simian Mobile Disco's )
