Rien is a 1994 album by the German krautrock group Faust, released on Table of the Elements.[3][4] It was their fifth album, and their first reunion album. The album was produced by Jim O'Rourke.[5][6]
Trouser Press called Rien "more a return to form than The Faust Concerts, with droning violins, pounding industrial synthesizers, odd sound effects, trumpet improvisations and, of course, power tools combining in an experimental haze."[5] Meanwhile, Ted Mills wrote for AllMusic that the album "should be taken on a different level as almost a different group. With the weight of nostalgic expectations against them, Faust did what they could to separate themselves from their past."[1]
