More than a decade after :zoviet*france: members Robin Storey (Rapoon), Mark Spybey (Dead Voices on Air) and Andrew Eardley (Delayer) left the band, the three have teamed up for a new group: Reformed Faction is a 21st century version of this important group with a unique sound that combines the old :zoviet*france: style with modern technology and a fresh wind blowing from the North of England.
"The semblances of a revitalised aesthetic are evident: a ghostly ambience crafted from dubbed bagpipes; multiple loops of gut-string plucks falling in and out of phase; and fragmented shakuhachi wafts swaying along a current of shortwave hum."
(The Wire, August 2006)
'Also eine kleine Sensation ist dieses Album ja schon. (...) Letztendlich halten wir ein Produkt in Händen, das den Geist der alten Zoviet France mit modernen Produktionsmitteln bietet.'
