Yancey, any chance that Rough Trade will let eMusic have the new EP by the Duke Spirit?

I would second the recommendation of So Far as a good place to start with Faust.

I started with Faust IV and worked my way backwards, and was kinda disappointed with the first album (though the original LP package itself can’t be beat as an objet d’art).

The festival’s sound and recording isn’t the problem on the CYHSY live album…. It’s the fact that they are a shitty, overrated, overhyped band who apparently can’t hold their own in a live setting (a setting that can make or break a band of its true talents, whether it’s a festival or not).

Todd has been drooling over it forever now. I am waiting for him to weigh in.

No “love” for the new Cobblestone Jazz disc, 23 Seconds? It’s good.

Without question the place to start with Faust is IV, which is damn near perfect. That is not on eMusic. The two best records other than IV, though, ARE on eMu: Faust and So Far. Both are extremely solid.

Yancey, seeing you are a big Faust fan what do you recommend?

I saw them some years ago here in London performing live to Nosferatu (it was amazing) and I bought the vinyl. Haven’t ventured any further since… whatdaya say?
