POLYDOR RECORDS 1972 . CATALOG # 2310196 STEREO . Faust So Far is a German krautrock group . It has a slightly more commercial sound than their first album, with both "It's a Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl" and "No Harm" (also known as "Daddy, take a Banana") being free-form rock-outs based on simple rhythms. The album was issued in a black sleeve with black inner sleeve, black labels and a set of inserts with one print for each song on the album; in the 1980s, Recommended Records sold a vinyl edition that lacked the inserts, but these have reappeared in the currently available vinyl edition.
With _ So Far_, the band applies their avant-garde style with slightly more conventional structure and weird pop hooks. You still get some very avant-garde stuff, like the primitive noise of "Mamie is Blue". On the other hand, there is also the pretty "On the Way to Abamae", just light acoustic guitar and an ethereal flute synth. "It's a Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl" takes a constant, tribal 4/4 drum beat and puts different instruments on top of it -- synthesizer, jangly guitar riffs, piano, saxophone, and a darn catchy vocal line. "So Far" is an amazingly groovy, smoky jazz shuffle. "I Have My Car and My TV" has a childish vocal introduction which cuts into a careless, brisk keyboard (or guitar?-- their tones are so weird and cool) line that is Evil-Catchy, overlain with guitar and saxophone solos. "No Harm" is amazing, from the heralding melody at the beginning to the bacchanalia of guitar jamming and the wildly crazy shouts of "Daddy take a banana | Tomorrow is Sunday". Uh, yeah.
