Faust IV

[4] This was the last album by the first incarnation of the band, they returned in 1994 with the release of Rien featuring a different line-up.

[2] The opener, "Krautrock", is a drone-based instrumental with drums appearing after seven minutes, while later tracks such as "The Sad Skinhead" and "Jennifer" employ more conventional songwriting techniques.

[2] The closing track, "It's a Bit of a Pain", combines both styles, utilising noise during its chorus.

At a point late in the song, following the chorus a woman's voice speaking in Swedish is heard.

[7] Some fans of Faust's earlier work felt that it was a "sell-out" album, for suggested reasons including more "palatable" songs such as The Sad Skinhead and Jennifer which are today praised as some of the band's best lyrical work.
