Klangbad Avant-Garde in the Meadows Faust Live

Filmmakers Dietmar Post & Lucia Palacios are the equivalent to the American music film icons DA Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus. With their award-winning film "The Transatlantic Feedback" they were responsible for the rediscovery of the 60s cult band "monks". This time they portrait the Klangbad Festival, which is curated by Hans Joachim Irmler, founding member of the legendary krautrock band Faust. This DVD includes two films: "Faust: Live at Klangbad Festival" was released in 2010 by Play Loud Productions Berlin, paired up with "Klangbad - Avant-garde in the Meadows", a documentary of the Klangbad festival itself. "The Faust performance film, featuring the band led by Jochen Irmler and Arnulf Meifert, ranges from structured rock to spaced abstractions, industrial soundscapes to acid drenched fuzz-jazz. Stephen Wray Lobdell's multi-textured guitar talents are literally mind blowing. Both films together make for perhaps the ultimate documentation of the Faust musical experience and the legacy they have engendered within the experimental genre. This 2for1 package may be one of the best "experimental music" productions of the decade". (eurock)
