Uwe Nettelbeck
Encyclopedia
Uwe Nettelbeck was a German
record producer
, journalist
and film critic
. He was best known as the creator and producer of the German krautrock
band, Faust
, and changed the face of German rock music
in the early 1970s. He was also one of Germany's leading film critics in the 1960s.
Nettelbeck was married to author
, film producer
and actress Petra Nettelbeck, and was the father of film director
and screenwriter
Sandra Nettelbeck.
family at Lake Constance
in south-west Germany. He attended lectures in German literature
at the Georg-August University of Göttingen
but did not sit for a degree
. At the age of 20, Nettelbeck began submitting reviews to Filmkritik, a monthly film magazine, and their quality led to him becoming chief film critic for Die Zeit
. In 1962 he met author, film producer and actress, Petra Krause at the Oberhausen film festival
; they later married and moved to Lüneburg Heath
near Hamburg
.
Controversy, however, soon began to dog Nettelbeck's career. In 1968, while on the Oberhausen festival jury, he praised a film his wife had produced, Of Particular Merit which starred a talking penis
. The film was subsequently banned
. Nettelbeck's left-wing
inclination emerged a year later when he published an article in Die Zeit about the trial of Red Army Faction
leader Andreas Baader
, which earned him a stern warning from the magazine's editor. Nettelbeck left Die Zeit and became a left-wing journalist with connections to several left-wing factions in Germany. He became editor of the underground
magazine, konkret
, which became the "revolutionary mouthpiece for the likes of Ulrike Meinhof
".

man with a request to put together an underground band
that would tap into the then burgeoning "German rock" scene. Nettlebeck found two small rock groups, Nukleus and Campylognatus Citelli which he merged into one, and with funding from Polydor, converted an old school-house near the village of Wümme, between Hamburg
and Bremen
into a studio. Nettelbeck then started experimenting with the band to try to find "something new". In the end Nettlebeck produced two Faust albums for Polydor, Faust
(1971) and Faust So Far
(1972) , and while they did not sell very well, both were applauded by music critics.
During the same period Nettlebeck also produced two albums for Anthony Moore
on Polydor, which led to the formation, with Peter Blegvad
and Dagmar Krause
, of Slapp Happy
. Faust played on Slapp Happy's first two albums, Sort Of
(1972) and Casablanca Moon (1973), which Nettlebeck also produced for Polydor. Polydor rejected Casablanca Moon and it was not until 1980 that Recommended Records
released it as Acnalbasac Noom
(Casablanca Moon backwards).
Polydor was also not happy with Faust So Far and demanded more commercial music from the band. Unwilling to compromise, Nettelbeck signed Faust with a fledgling record company in London
, Virgin Records
. Part of the deal between Nettelbeck and Virgin was that he would give Virgin his tapes of the music Faust had been working on since So Far "for nothing" and that Virgin would release a record priced as low as possible. The result was The Faust Tapes
(1973) which cost 49 pence (the price of a single
), and sold 100,000 copies in a few weeks, putting the unknown band into the British
album charts
. The "success" of this album ("90% of the people that bought it hated it!" ) gave Nettelbeck access to Virgin's Manor Studio
where Faust recorded Faust IV
(1974), which sold moderately well, although not as well as Tapes. But back in Germany, their next effort, Faust 5 was abandoned and the band dispersed across Europe. (In 1979 Recommended Records rekindled interest in Faust by re-issuing the two Polydor albums, which led to the band reforming.)
Nettlebeck was the inspiration and creative force behind Faust in their early years. He designed their striking album cover
s, and convinced Polydor to release the group's first two albums on its distinguished classical label, Deutsche Grammophon
. Describing Faust's success, Nettelbeck said in 1973: "The idea was not to copy anything going on in the Anglo-Saxon rock scene – and it worked..."
and moved into an isolated farmhouse in the Gironde

Uwe Nettelbeck died of cancer
