I'm pretty much in agreement with the rest of the world that "Rien" was
mostly saved by the Jim O' Rourke production (plus the bonus presence of
Christoph Heemann- anybody who can trace his exact contributions gets a
four gun salute in a limited edition of 12).

On the other hand, if you failed _Tapes_ at 30%, I'm not sure exactly what
I can do for you.
