LA RECENSIONE
Zappi Diermaier is a drummer and founder of Faust from their inception to the present day, so he has all the credentials to release this album, which contains entirely new material after recent releases that were reissues or archive material. Alongside him, some musician friends play, as well as Gunther Wüsthoff, another founding member; it's also interesting to find Andrew Unruh and Jochen Arbeit from Einsturzende Neubauten. The music does not disappoint; rather, we find their bold, innovative, and experimental sound journeys without compromise. We are faced with a classic krautrock album dated 2024, and I dare say it is the return of a legend. The work is divided into six unsettling, industrial, and psychedelically alienated tracks; we find engine sounds as if in a ship's engine room, the steam puffs of plants that never stop. A deliberately abrasive listening experience that engages on a 360-degree raw delirium. As always, they manage to be unique, a good listen with nighttime atmospheres in the eyes and nostrils that smell of tires burning amidst flashing neon lights.
