(展开全部) 　　In 1970 a remarkable thing happened , winter Uwe Nettelbeck managed to persuade a major record company to provide a bunch of musicians who had never made a record with a house , a studio , recording equipment and a full time engineer - and let them experiment for a year in the promise of an eventual record - thus brokering for them a situation unprecedented, and so far as I know unrepeated. This box tells some of the story of that experiment, and although Polydor pulled the plug after two LPs, there are three more albums worth of world-class material here mostlv culled from those sessions. The rest comprises the Munich recordings and the BBC Peel Show made immediately afterwards - both with engineer Kurt Graupner. It is this extra material that begins to shedlight on how extraordinary the whole project was. While the albums were condensed and tidied and made album-shaped, the proliferation of material and experiments and pieces made just for their own sake reveals something of the unique process that was involved, and how radical and fertile that laboratory method turned out to be.
　　Faust were doubly blessed by the assianment to their project of engineer Kurt Graupner, who not only designed new equipment and processors for them, but made numerous innovations in recording techniques.
　　When I took some of these tracks to re-master, the studio engineer I was working with looked up suddenly and said, who recorded this? I've never seen anything like it. When I told him it was made in the early '70s, he shook his head. So. this should not be heard merely as a collection of some great and essential music, but also as a tribute to the tenacity of Uwe Nettelbeck, the innovations and foresight of Kurt Graupner, the work, against the odds, of a handful of extraordinary musicians - and the lottery of happenstance that brought such an unlikely concatenation of events and characters together. It wasn't a smooth ride, as you will read. But this booklet's path from myth to fallibility, imagination to vexation of the spirit, makes the music that remains only more inscrutable -
　　whether it was worked on or cast off like some strange secretion - its cause remains no less irretrievably occluded.
　　Stonehenge, the Pyramids, Machu Picchu…
　　A layer of mystery then, to elucidate an enigma. How appropriate.
