"Some have it, and some don't. Robin Storey, both a founding member of the legendary ZOVIET FRANCE and the mastermind behind RAPOON, clearly 'has it.' Everything I've heard from him is distinguished by its striking consistency and clarity of purpose...Superficially, you could label RAPOON's music 'ambient industrial' with an occasional touch of ethnic (eg. tabala and oud samples). But all these ingredients are in common use today; it's the choices Storey makes that set him apart." - Bill Tilland / Alternative Press

Robin Storey has released six RAPOON albums on Staalplaat/Soleilmoon since his departure from ZOVIET FRANCE. Release Entertainment is proud to release his seventh, The Fires of the Borderlands. Awe-inspiring ambience melds with ethnic percussive loops and dark, undulating industrial sensibilities to form an eleven piece composition evoking spiritual musical stimulation. Words cannot possibly do this music justice, but Storey states:

"Time had no meaning. It was gone. The dust of it lay at my feet, disturbed now and again by strange winds that eddied around the ancient rocks I stood upon. The sky, if one could call it that, threw fitful spasms of light and dark. The fires of the Borderlands."
