Rien is a 1994 album by the German krautrock group Faust.[3][4] It was their fifth album, and their first reunion album.

Recording

The album was produced by Jim O'Rourke.[5]

Critical reception

Trouser Press called the album "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]
