Faust plays the hits of Pete Rock

Faust: "BBC 1.3.73 [excerpt]" (a/k/a "The Lurcher")
This recording is from 1973, but it sounds like the Faust dudes were hanging out 20 years later, heard some early-'90s NYC rap music, bobbed their heads for a minute, then hopped in their time machine and whisked back to record their version of the sound for a John Peel show. (I'm sure Peel would have been cool with that.) Even more than Marc Moulin's Placebo, they uncannily anticipate the later sound, down to the little reverbed saxophone parts and the oppressive, claustrophobic mood.
The version I've posted is trimmed from a 20+ minute track that has appeared legitimately a few times in the last decade and also on the vinyl bootleg pictured above, where I first heard it.
