As usual, I miss this poll entirely and thus deprive an album of a more exalted standing - in this case, denying So Far a tie for 2nd place.

Absolutely, I was playing devil's advocaat there..
I thought it great on the first play, but was trying to rationalise why it was perceived as such a massive letdown at the time.

Yeah I'm surprised that Tapes got 10 while the s/t only got 3. The s/t is way better, IMO...

Think the rehabilitation of "IV" more than complete, prolly needs to be knocked down again now

IV was the only one that remained in print throughout the 90s when Faust became hip again.

Beyond the opening track, I don't think it's as good as their earlier albums. Opening track is, uh, pretty good!

“tapes” sounds AMAZING right now, such a weird and silly and deeply beautiful labyrinth of fragments blossoming into epiphanies

that scream at the end of "No Harm" is one of my favorite things ever

I ended up with three copies of the polydor "So Far" single.
One was a perfectly serviceable vg copy
One a mint lovely one I found at a bargain price
And one a rotten mispress with chunks and divots on side a, side b is perfect. But, it was cheap.
That's not counting a recent reissue which is a different mix/version.

Wow, no votes back then for 71 Minutes? That's a heaping helping of primo Faust.

^ would be my choice as well.
