Those with far greater knowledge of Zoviet France's vast catalogue have long said that 1993's What is Not True is one of their most underrated and overlooked albums. Originally released on CD, it has now finally been given a vinyl pressing. It's well worth a listen, in part because it's a dark, pagan and ritualistic affair full of lengthy, exaggerated compositions that mix drowsy, unsettling ambient chords and macabre electronic tones with trippy, processed instrument sounds (drunken violins, for example), field recordings, spoken word snippets, slowly-shapeshifting refrains and the kind of exotic, Arabic-influenced percussion that was once the hallmark of the late, great Muslimgauze. Immersive, meditative and melancholic, it's the kind of album you'll want to get lost in.
