Faust (German for "fist") is the debut studio album by the experimental music band Faust. It was released in 1971 on Polydor Records. Although it was never a commercial success, Faust has garnered much acclaim from rock critics.

So Far" is a much more structured album and the trademark repetitive krautrock beats are much more a part of the sound on this album than they were on the crazy debut.

That album would turn out to be So Far, their 1972 sophomore release, and the record with which the press (or whomever it was covering them at the time- probably just the NME's Ian MacDonald) caught up. Within seconds, the change is obvious. The steady tom toms and insistent rhythm guitar of "It's a Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl" aren't the work of the voodoo shamans on the last album- or maybe they are, but under pressure, perhaps Faust just betray their VU roots more readily (and simultaneously earn their Krautrock merit badge). The funny part about Faust was, no matter how far out they got, they always came back. And on the title track, they trade in their acid wisdom for pure Kraut trance groove- though very different from Can's avant-funk or Neu's motorik beat- via horn punches and a galloping rhythm.

Faust's So Far isn't quite as psychedelically outrageous as their first album (seriously the bands first album might be the greatest indescribable accomplishment of their career and puts even Pink Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive" to shame on numerous occasions) but it's nonetheless a worthy successor. Now the songs are mostly shorter with the exception of one or two tracks
