Rarely Heard: Zoviet France - M1 M1 M1

Zoviet France (latterly usually written as :zoviet France:) are a group from Newcastle upon Tyne founded in 1980 that is active to this day (two new albums were released this year). Their albums are mostly hard-to-get, often hand-made elaborately designed with unusual materials, self-released and in limted editions - usually you could get them from Recommended Records - at dissuasive prices. I came upon them in the early 80s as they were considered to be a pioneer industrital band, although their productions can best described as ambient with dissonant elemenst, often the songs are of symphonic length.
