Dementia Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) Has he ever played in the US? Has Zoviet France? The artists I'd most like hear in live performance (Biosphere, Rapoon, A Produce, Oophoi, to list a few) seem nearly impossible to come by.

Guest glasse Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I saw Dead Voices on Air twice in the US, but that was when Mark Spybey was living over here. I don't know of Rapoon or ZF playing here, but I imagine they may have been invited to festivals or something. I think there was talk of Reformed Faction playing the US, but who knows.. I like Fires of the Borderlands, Vernal Crossing, Easterly Six or 7, etc. Most of the mid 90s stuff. I wasn't real into his drum and bass loops in acid attempts.

Oh? What's the name of the track? I've only got a sixth of his discography but would recommend "Darker By Light," "What Do You Suppose," and "Easterly 6 or 7."

Unrelated to the topic, but your description reminded me of this: It was made by a friend of grasshopper (WATMM member).

azatoth Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 i've only heard 'time frost' which i think is very nice. very similar to GAS. got more recommendations, both from rapoon and zoviet france.

awepittance Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) the first and imo one of the best Rapoon albums is arguably one of the last Zoviet France albums 'Shadow thief of the sun' it is the only Zoviet France release that is credited as being a solo Robin Storey (the man who is otherwise known as Rapoon)album. http://www.discogs.com/zovietfrance-Shadow...n/release/63689 i think pretty much everything from the first 'dream circle' release (Which was later remixed and released as recurring dream circle) to Fire of the borderlands is worth picking up. Its some of the finest and most emotional ambient music i have ever heard. if you guys want to check out some more Rapoon like Zoviet make sure to pick up 'Loh Land' 'Just an Illusion' 'Assault and Mirage' 'What is not true' and 'Mohnomishe' (probably the most Rapoon-like ZF releases besides 'Shadow thief of the sun' i have a huge hard on for zoviet france and anything related, for some reason DVOA never really blew me away, but its still good stuff worth picking up. i have had like 4 dreams where i have seen imaginary Zoviet France shows, they have only played once in the US since i have been fans, and it was as 'Reformed faction' with 3 original members at the last Brainwashed show in Oregon Edited April 24, 2009 by Awepittance Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/44991-rapoon/#findComment-1022200 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomb23 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I saw Zoviet France play in Portland Oregon in 1991. It was at a small club... They had a strange gauze wrapped dancing lady all wound up in huge ropes who unwound herself through out their set. The sound I remember most from that show was "pencil on violin strings". also live CD I'm not aware of any Rapoon shows. Just an Illusion is my favorite.

"or is it all just an illusion". i downloaded some flacs of rapoon a while back and sampled them a bit. not as good as zoviet france but i definitely appreciate the use of samples in that project..
