Au Rêve is the second album by French electronic duo Cassius, released in September 2002 by record label Virgin in Europe and Astralwerks in the United States.
The album was written and produced by Cassius members Phillippe Zdar and Boom Bass.
Au Rêve is a progression from Cassius' debut album 1999 in that it is a more traditional house-oriented effort that uses less sampling and more live vocalists. Collaborators include Jocelyn Brown, Ghostface Killah and Steve Edwards. The Edwards track, "The Sound of Violence", topped the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart.
Au Rêve has received a mixed reception from critics. David Silverman of BBC Music called it "Excellent in places, awkward and peculiar in others" and wrote: "There's nothing really new here, but then that isn't really the criteria for whether an album is good or not – its [sic] just a pity Cassius couldn't recapture the spontaneity of 1999."
All tracks written by Cassius, except as indicated.
