Y'know, it's funny you should mention this. I was driving into town yesterday while listening to Faust's 1st album, and there were a lot of things in there that struck me as being really similar to the sort of studio production craziness that Rogerio Duprat was up to in Brazil at the height of Tropicalia. Not so much in material per se, but in the way the material was put together, the way the studio's effects/processing possibilities were being used, and so on. Nettlebeck's Faust stuff was shortly after that, so I do sort of wonder if he'd not heard any of this Brazilian wackiness and whether that might've affected the potential direction of Faust's work...???
