Dr. Faustroll
After breakup of the band Professor Faust-Troll (see www.prof-faust-troll.de), both former members Henning E. and Wolfgang K. founded in Berlin a new group: Dr. Faustroll. It is characterized musically by new wave elements and avant-garde approaches. Sophisticated guitar sounds, Roland keyboard, a Korg MS 20-synthesizer, at the beginning with bass guitar and drums, later dominated by rhythm machines.

There has been a CD where songs from Dr. Faustroll and Die Schwankenden Gestalten were presented together. The cover is shown here. There were four songs of Dr. Faustroll on it, which may listen to in the table below.
