Zoviet France (also known as Soviet France, and also written as :zoviet*france:) is a prolific ambient industrial music group from Newcastle upon Tyne in Northern England. While often dissonant and made of industrial textures, their music is also of a distinctly ambient music bent. Formed in 1981, the group has had a variety of members, presently it consists of Ben Ponton and Mark Warren. Former members included Robin Storey, who now records as Rapoon, Mark Spybey, who now records as Dead Voices on Air, Peter Jensen, Andy Eardley, Paolo Di Paolo, Lisa Hale and Neil Ramshaw
Their music, consisting often of droning textures set against tribal rhythms and fleeting dissonant melodies, was often made from neglected sound sources: obscure radio broadcasts, toy instruments, and other odds and ends, often heavily processed or looped. Over time their sound became increasingly electronic and computerised.
The packaging of their early works was extraordinary - records were released in burlap, roofing shingles, aluminium foil. Their CDs weren't as often so packaged, but were occasionally quite unusual, including felt, decorative pins, and wood veneer.
In 2005 Storey, Spybey and Eardley, announced that they were forming a new group: Reformed Faction.
