Faust (Zappi, Jean-Hervé Péron, Olivier Manchion e Amaury Cambuzat in questa versione) sono in concerto a Milano per la Festa de l'Unità, Mazda Palace, giovedi 24 agosto 2006, dalle ore 21.30 (l'ingresso è gratuito, pare).
Di imminente uscita il libro, scritto da Andy Wilson, dedicato alle vicende dei loro primi "eroici" anni:
September sees the release of the first book about the band, titled Faust: Stretch Out Time 1970-75, by Andy Wilson.
Fully Illustrated, the book covers the early history of the band and reviews all of their music from that period, collected on The Wümme Years and Faust IV. It also includes essays on the history of Krautrock, on time and on the influence of Frank Zappa on the group, as well as live reviews from the period.
"In 1970 Polydor Records funded an unusual experiment. They gave some unknown German musicians a retreat in the countryside near Hamburg, equipped it with a studio and their best engineer, then left them free to do as they liked. This is the story of Faust and the music they made between 1970 and 1975, music which continues to inspire and confound listeners to this day. Along the way, Andy Wilson recounts the rise of Krautrock and its connection with the social upheavals of the late '60s and early '70s. He also discusses the role of time in music, takes a swing at Frank Zappa and looks in detail at the records Faust made in their heroic years.
