Zoviet France - Just An Illusion

 

First released in 1990, "Just an Illusion" remains one of Zoviet France's very greatest achievements. Mysterious, enveloping atmosphere that mixes acoustic instruments with tape delay for a mix of musique concrete, raga, and ambient noise. The edition we have here came inside a balsa-wood box with the titles stained onto it. The liner notes are on another thin sheet of balsa. Sure, it kind of scratches up the CD, but the band that once packed their LPs in roofing shingles could hardly care about that. When someone isn't sure where to begin with Zoviet France, "Just an Illusion" is what I always recommend.

Back in the early 90s, I almost killed some people at a Zoviet France show. I was on 10 hits of acid or so, and these people in front of me were huffing nitrous. They dropped one of the cannisters causing me to loose the music.... Almost killed them all....

Beautiful stuff
