Review by Richie Unterberger
Basically an expanded version of Munich and Elsewhere (which was itself a compilation of unreleased material), with the addition of the unreleased LP Faust Party Three (parts of which had previously appeared only as limited-edition EPs and singles), as well as two previously unreleased tracks. Parts wed brutal drum patterns to insistently repetitive guitar riffing; there are prog rock keyboard passages that slightly recall Soft Machine; and "Don't Take Roots" sounds like an unintentional satire of the cheap California psychedelia that you might hear on a late-'60s youth culture exploitation flick. Sometimes it even sounds like a parody of early King Crimson-type pomp rock. It would be nice to have some liner notes explaining exactly what comes from where, but basically what you need to know is that it was all recorded in Germany from 1971 to 1975 and is on par with the quality of the albums they actually released during that time.
Munich and Elsewhere
Review by Richie Unterberger
Leftovers from the early part of the '70s that are consistent enough with the Faust anything-goes vibe to be considered worthy of investigation by anyone who values their proper albums as well. There's no consistent focus, which in turn is entirely consistent with the nature of a band so enigmatic. It's been reissued in its entirety on the Seventy One Minutes Of CD, which adds a substantial amount of additional rare material, and is thus the recommended alternative to hunting down the original release.
