Released in 1971, it marked the beginning of a project that would sidestep genre and expectation, offering a fractured, exploratory take on rock music, blending tape experiments, improvised structures, and surreal collage. This Bureau B reissue offers a fresh opportunity to engage with one of the most curious and uncompromising records of its time.<\/p>\n<p>The story of Faust begins in 1969, when cultural journalist Uwe Nettelbeck met with Horst Schmolzi, an A&#038;R man at Polydor in Hamburg. Schmolzi was looking for a German answer to The Beatles, but Nettelbeck had other ideas. With a generous advance in hand, he set out to assemble something far more radical. Nettlebeck headed into the Hamburg underground and fused members of the bands Nukleus and Campylognatus Citelli into a new six-piece lineup. From Nukleus came bassist Jean-Herv\u00e9 P\u00e9ron, guitarist Rudolf Sosna, and saxophonist Gunther W\u00fcsthoff. From Campylognatus Citelli, he brought in keyboardist Hans-Joachim Irmler and drummers Werner \u201cZappi\u201d Diermaier and Arnulf Meifert.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Faust &#8211; Faust &#8211; Rerelease 26.09.25 \/ Bureau B<\/strong><\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p>1971 Faust \u00a9 Bureau B<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/png","media_details":{"width":990,"height":1000,"file":"2025\/07\/Web_1971-Faust-\u00a9-Bureau-B.png","filesize":1626962,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"Web_1971-Faust-\u00a9-Bureau-B-297x300.png","width":297,"height":300,"filesize":76594,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vollersound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Web_1971-Faust-\u00a9-Bureau-B-297x300.png"},"thumbnail":{"file":"Web_1971-Faust-\u00a9-Bureau-B-150x150.png","width":150,"height":150,"filesize":22030,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vollersound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Web_1971-Faust-\u00a9-Bureau-B-150x150.png"},"medium_large":{"file":"Web_1971-Faust-\u00a9-Bureau-B-768x776.png","width":768,"height":776,"filesize":459430,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vollersound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Web_1971-Faust-\u00a9-Bureau-B-768x776.png"},"twentyseventeen-thumbnail-avatar":{"file":"Web_1971-Faust-\u00a9-Bureau-B-100x100.png","width":100,"height":100,"filesize":10495,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vollersound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Web_1971-Faust-\u00a9-Bureau-B-100x100.png"},"full":{"file":"Web_1971-Faust-\u00a9-Bureau-B.png","width":990,"height":1000,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vollersound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Web_1971-Faust-\u00a9-Bureau-B.png"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":149,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.vollersound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Web_1971-Faust-\u00a9-Bureau-B.png","filename":"Web_1971-Faust-\u00a9-Bureau-B.png","filesize":1626962,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vollersound.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vollersound.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vollersound.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vollersound.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vollersound.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8645"}],"wp:attached-to":[{"embeddable":true,"post_type":"page","id":149,"href":"https:\/\/www.vollersound.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
