Faust "Rien"

 I bought this album in 1995 without a clue who Faust were, just cuz O'Rourke and Keiji Haino were both involved somehow. Was my mind blown? Definitely. Not because I hadn't heard Krautrock before, but that this was a film without visuals. Babies cry, shenais moan, helicopters fly over a satanic cult with a string section and electronics whisper in the shifting fog of sound. This isn't some musique concret term project, this actually drags you through a strange world like a Jodorowsky film. This is easily my favorite Faust album for lifting the veil just enough to remind me its there.
