Faust by Faust

Welcome to the the Freak Zone - the home of the hits. This week the hits include classic UK 60 psyche, Belgian experimental jazz, some Ethiopian grooves via Oslo and music from a Finnish concept albums about war in the world of Magpies. Plus, tunes from Alice Coltrane, King Of The Slums and the Third Ear Band.

Also, Stuart's featured album is 1971's self titled debut album by German cult legends Faust for which the phrase “challenging but rewarding” could have been coined. Other albums may also feature spoken word, noise, folk, garage rock, field recordings and organ music but not usually in the same track.
