well... zoviet france is a band with so many releases I don't really know anyone who's heard them all, but the four or five I've heard tended to stay well within the bounds of quasi tribal lo-fi ambient (or some permutation of those adjectives). If you like very quiet, slightly odd mood music you'll probably enjoy their records, otherwise you might want to think twice. I'd recommend Collusion as a starter because it's a collection of compilation tracks and therefore much more varied than usual (most albums seem to be very singleminded), and there should be something you'll like about it. Personally I'm a bigger fan of Rapoon, which is Robin Storey from z:f now gone solo. Not a long stretch from the z:f material - murky, sort of medieval (chantings, chain rattlings, etc) - but somehow a bit more effective. "Just Say the Faith" (LP only, soleilmoon) is my favorite, but Fires of the Borderlands (Release) is really good as well and widely available. --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
