	Zoviet France (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zoviet France is an experimental music collective that emerged in the early 1980s and has included a roster of memebers including Lisa Hale, Peter Jensen, Ben Ponton, Mark Spybey (of Dead Voices On Air), Robin Storey (of Rapoon) and Mark Warren.
		Preferring to remain semi-anonymous and out of the scrutiny of the music industry, the band's history and evolution is largely vague.
		They are best known for their atmospheric work involving the use of found sounds and tape loops being heavily processed and manipulated further by electronic devices such as effects processors, guitar pedals, and filters.

	TrouserPress.com :: Zoviet France
		Most of their early records were issued with bizarre handmade covers, using nontraditional materials in lieu of cardboard, and many were accompanied with the kind of abstract artwork that could just as easily have come from the hand of a mental patient as from the wall of an ancient cave.
		Zoviet France reached new heights — in music, instrumental diversity and production polish — with Shouting at the Ground, a double-album which includes "Shamany Enfluence," a very long piece that might be the group's finest effort.
		For a band which had performed only a handful of live shows during its first decade, the bulk of Zoviet France's '90s releases are performance documents.

	Interview: Rapoon - 4/4/98
		It almost seemed that the longer I was with Zoviet France the harder it was to leave.
		The original point behind Zoviet France was to be a lifetime project between all of the collaborators.
		When the band first was formed, we all had agreed to not fall into any of the traps which normally cause a band to break up.

	Zoviet France Interview
		The point is that what Soviet France do anyone can do: if music really can have intuitive, subconscious application, and if only music that someone produces themself is ever really going to give them the meaning that they need, then surely they should get out their and do exactly what Soviet France have done.
		In Soviet France's case, the harsher cyclic music of their early albums made way for something that was smoother, easier to listen to, and as a result probably more effective in its ability to worm its way into the listener's subconscious.
		Soviet France, aware of how the industry operates and trying to avoid its less pleasant tendencies, have also kept their individual identities out of the picture as far as the music is concerned, while remaining perfectly accessible to those who bother to contact them.

		This is not the equivalent of an underground eighties revival band.
		When individual members left the band and forged new careers, they did not seek to advertise themselves as being ex-members but the fact remains that is exactly what they were or rather, are.
		To deny membership of the band and deny the influence that the ex-members had on the band is to ignore or re-write history.

		This is something that they rarely mention in the press, as Hawkwind have this reputation as a British 'hippie band' who do 'science fiction' and theatrics, and therefore must be naff.

	RAPOON - Interview previously published in TDR-Magazine no. 4, 1996
		I had not been part of this band which had broken up and devolved down to two remaining members, neither of whom wished to continue as a punk band.
		There were many reasons why I felt this way; it seemed to me that Zoviet France had undergone the inevitable changes that occur over time but somewhere along the way a kind of division had happened.
		To go back to a previous question, I think that during the years with Zoviet France the feeling of alienation returned and grew stronger, tipping the balance back to a sense of desolation.

		We were supported by a band called Osmosis or something like that who were led by a couple of guys who had been in Ark (the band that myself, Harvey and Martin had played in previously).
		The line up of the band was Bob Calvert on vocals - totally in a state - he had also recently had a car crash whilst trying out a car he was thinking of buying, breaking the neck of a girl we all knew (origin of the song Death Trap).
		Hawkwind were the only band I've worked with where individual members of the band approached me asking to be turned DOWN in the mix.

	Pynchon - Music: Rapoon
		Robin Storey, an original founding member of the experimental industrial group Zoviet France, created the offshoot band Rapoon, and has produced a work called The Kirghiz Light, thereby revealing a strong Pynchonian influence.
		It is an intricately constructed, brilliantly played, and very cleanly produced set of ambient electronic atmospherics and exotic ethnic percussion The Zoviet France influence is detectable, although Rapoon is much more high fidelity and misses out the coarseness and industrial noise you could find on a Zoviet France record.
		Surely not Slothrop's band, this was a short lived group which did, in fact, have a harmonica player.

		As Controlled Bleeding continued to mutate some two decades after the band's inception, the mid-'90s found them focusing on ambient styles; Inanition, released in 1996, is a two-disc set in this vein.

		You won't find anything resembling a household name in the UK sound-collage underground, but in that small pool, :Zoviet* France: and support act Stock, Hausen and Walkman are, for all their deliberate anonymity, big fish.
		Influenced by Krautrock and composers like Stockhausen and Boulez, :Zoviet* France: have been going for 17 years, initially gaining notoriety for packaging their records in hessian and roofing felt, but proving themselves dedicated and expert manipulators of noise, using electronics to create texturally fascinating sonic environments.
		In the 80s, this would have been called "head damage music", and even when a din that sounds like Fatboy Slim conducting a concerto for pneumatic drill and car alarm is threatening to split open the skull, one can appreciate the sense of adventure and mischief that's going into it.

		Almost lost in the shuffle is Massive Attack, a group that sparked the city's scene with 1991's Blue Lines and 1994's Protection.
		Beginning in 1982, Zoviet France melted the boundaries between music and memory, noise and nuance, the conscious and subconscious mind.
		Its brand of sonic experimentalism--hypnotic loops that evolved into narcotic reveries--earned the band a spot at the pinnacle of the intellectual/electronic scene, but recent years have seen key members depart and stagnancy set in.
