Zoviet France - Mohnomishe

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.

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...
