Zoviet France


Zoviet France is a music group from Newcastle upon Tyne in north east England. While often dissonant and made of industrial textures, their music also falls into the ambient music category. Formed in 1980, and remaining largely anonymous, the group has had a number of members; presently it consists of co-founder Ben Ponton and Mark Warren. Former members included Neil Ramshaw, Peter Jensen, Robin Storey, Lisa Hale, Paolo Di Paolo, Mark Spybey and Andy Eardley. In 2005 Storey, Spybey and Eardley formed a new group, Reformed Faction.
The packaging of their releases was often unconventional, involving materials such as hessian, tar paper and aluminium foil.
