Ravvivando is the 8th album by the German krautrock group Faust, released in 1999.[6] A vinyl edition (one 12" and one 10") was released about a year later including a bonus track not included on the CD edition.
Background[]
Founding member Jean-Hervé Péron left the band prior to the recording of the album due to "artistic differences".[4] The band recruited guitarist Steven Lobdell and bassist Micheal Stoll alongside the returning members, drummer Werner "Zappi" Diermaier, keyboardist Hans Joachim Irmler, and guitarist Jean-Hervé Péron.[4] The album is mostly instrumental, while the "few lyrics are incomprehensible, buried and/or in German."[4]
Reception[]
Jason Gross of Allmusic called the album "some of the best Velvet Underground minimalist-noise-rush this side of My Bloody Valentine" and calling it an "intriguing phase for an always unpredictable group."[3] Q compared the album to the groups earlier Musique concrète work, "Namely huge bedrocks of looping, mutated riffing, driven by metronomic [drums] and glued by [keyboards].[1]
