Mohnomishe is likely the most wanted album of :zoviet*france: production, together with the sad fact that it was released in early '80 and also that it was a low-number-copies release. An absolute industrial-experimental-ambient-tribal shock and power which was not heard before and also a long time after Mohnomishe itself, not only in ambient-experimental genre. What the band made with available instrumentation in those times is fascinating for almost all subsequent musicians many of whom gathered their inspiration from this master piece. :zoviet*france: raised their bar in the sky and were sometimes unable to surpass it with some of their own later work. Gradation of Mohnomishe reaches its point with track 4 which is the most ambient from album and the furthest elaborated here. Simply written, fans should start with Mohnomishe to get a flavour of their fine stuff.
Rated 5/5

The sound was so far ahead of it's time. All these strange soundscapes had fascinated me after first listening. Easily to recognize the influences of ambient and industrial. 1983. A good year for electronic music. And sure the masterpiece of Zoviet France...
