Faust - 1971 - 1974 (CD version)
The 4 classic albums remastered (remixed?): not my thing. There is more bass and the sound in general is fatter and more "glued", but the quirkiness is missing. Example: the rhythm guitar in "It's a Rainy Day" has more clarity and cuts way more through the mix on older releases. The Wümme Box set is the gold standard, soundwise.
The new stuff: Punkt is excellent, very dark, sounds almost like a finished album. Momentaufnahme I-II: bits and pieces with some Sosna magic in places. They should relase this new stuff separately.
