553. Faust

Of the Krautrock bands, the band labeled as the most mythical (due mostly to dropping off the musical landscape for awhile) is easily Faust. Their early 70’s work has been credited with laying some of the early fabrics of Ambient and even Industrial with their Experimental work. With Faust there is the question as to whether they were more influential or mysterious, and if the two adjectives helped perpetuate the other.
