Zoviet France
Zoviet France (also known as :$OVIET:FRANCE:, Soviet France, :Zoviet-France: and latterly usually written as :zoviet*france:) are a music group from Newcastle upon Tyne in north east England.

Formed in 1980, and remaining largely anonymous, the group has had a number of members; presently it consists of co-founder Ben Ponton and Mark Warren. Former members included Neil Ramshaw, Peter Jensen, Robin Storey (who now records as Rapoon), Lisa Hale, Paolo Di Paolo, Mark Spybey (who now records as Dead Voices on Air) and Andy Eardley. In 2005 Storey, Spybey and Eardley formed a new group, Reformed Faction. The band participated in the early-eighties underground tape scene. The packaging of their releases was often unconventional, involving materials such as Hessian (cloth), hessian, tar paper and aluminium foil.

Tar Paper
Tar paper is a heavy-duty paper used in construction. Tar paper is made by impregnating paper or fiberglass mat with tar, producing a waterproof material useful for roof construction. Tar paper is distinguished from roofing felt, which is impregnated with asphalt instead of tar, but these two products are used the same way, and their names are sometimes used informally as synonyms. Description Tar paper has been in use for centuries. Originally, felt was made of recycled rags, but modern felt is made of recycled paper products, typically cardboard, and sawdust. The most common product is #15 felt. Before the oil crisis, felt weighed about per square, hence the asphalt-impregnated felt was called "15-pound felt" (15#). Modern, inorganic mats are no longer the same weight, and to reflect this fact, the new felts are called "number 15 felt" (#15). Modern #15 mats can weigh from pounds per square, depending on the manufacturer and the standard to which felt is made (such as , , or ...

Hessian cloth is available in different types of construction, form, size and color. The origin of the word ''burlap'' is unknown, though its earliest known appearance is in the late 17th century, and its etymology is specu ...
