4.0 out of 5 stars Dirty Little Secret, April 20, 2008

By	Dub Enthusiast (Southern Oregon) - See all my reviews

I know a secret about this Faust CD. All of the music on this CD was composed by Jim O'Rourke the producer. From what I understand he painstakingly took all the disappointing "jam session" source tapes sent to him by the band and completely altered and reconstructed them into his vision of what a Faust record "should" sound like. He literally created every sound and drum beat from the tapes they gave him but what you have here, from a composition standpoint sounds nothing like the original tapes. Basically, Rien ended up being Jim O'Rourke's tribute (and gift) to the heroes of his youth.

4.0 out of 5 stars Faust - 'Rien' (Table Of The Elements), February 2, 2006

By	Mike Reed (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Wow!After a twenty-year hibernation,the German krautrock pioneers Faust come out with an all-new release(featuring two original members).I tell you,I personally thought 'Rien' was good,for a comeback effort anyway.The opener title cut "Rien" is a fourteen-second snippet of dead silence.Tracks here I got the most out of were "Eroberung Der Still,Teil II" and "Long Distance Calls In The Desert",which features some of that trademark experimental kraut/noisy drone that Faust is known for.Hard to make of the untitled track 5,which lasts fifteen minutes.It's decent,my guess is maybe they're attempting to reminisce the band's very early works.Recommended.
