Well, with "no regular soundtrack" I mean, that there is no definite
version of a soundtrack for it. It's a silent movie from the 20s, and
at that time, some cinemas were maybe having a piano player do the
soundtrack, some others maybe had a little band playing or a real
orchestra. They were even playing different scores or improvised
music and noises. For many movies from that time, even on DVD today
they have different "soundtracks".
"Faust" is a silent movie so
doesn't have a regular soundtrack at
all.
I must differ on this. The version shown on TV had a great
soundtrack. Way much better than what Moroder did once for this
other old German
movie "Metropolis" ! Thing is, it seems no credit are given to the
composer/band who did it and IMDB lists several versions with
different composers.
See! ;)
Ciao
