Is there any reason to live after hearing this?

If you must ask, you shouldn't live anyway.

Main reason is so you can hear it again

Love that album, and how the last song is a live recording

I'm having a hard time believing that

Really it is, they all played though these "black boxes" which they used to manipulate the sound of their own and others' instruments, like the EQ and the envelope filters

It's all processed through the units, so it doesn't sound live

the reason to live is to listen to more krautrock ya dum dum

While the thread is still alive, would anyone care to elaborate on why this and other Faust albums are so critically and significant? I haven't listened to them or much Krautrock yet and I want to be somewhat familiar with the concepts of it as a start.

Their first album is pretty much still unmatched in terms of unbridled creativity, their use of non-musical sounds in conjunction with the weirdly processed and manipulated instruments. Their innovative use of technology is interesting as well.

The krautrock scene as a whole saw bands operating more as a single unit than as a bunch of individuals. I think Can is the best example of this side of krautrock.

Saw Faust in 2009. More than an art installation than a concert. Awesome preformance.

Thank you. And what about their albums that came out after the 70's?

They aren't as good or innovative as I or IV, but they are still worth listening to (this is more because the band re-split into two halves). In particular, Derbe, Respect, Alder is an example of industrial hip hop five years before Death Grips popularized it.
