This is all the esoteric singles I've got, the live tapes you can get from their website, and so on. I just plain love it. There's no other music that showed me as much about music organised by timbre as Faust's. None of it's crap to me. Even the stuff I don't understand intrigues me precisely because I don't understand it. I go into listening to that band with no expectations because if I do, they're going to be confounded, so I found I can enjoy it better if I just listen to it and accept it at face value, and I'm learning for me that I can apply that to any music at all, which might be half their point .... hugz Keefy
