Pacific 231

Pacific 231 is the project of Pierre Jolivet, a sound artist from Paris who later settled in Dublin. Started in the early 1980s, it belongs to the first wave of industrial music and power electronics. Pacific 231 released Unusual Perversions in 1984, and Rotorelief later reissued it on vinyl. Other records include Power Assume (1986), Xochipilli (1993) and Kyben (2017). In 2007 Jolivet made Palestine with Robin Storey (Rapoon), first issued by Old Europa Cafe and reissued by Zoharum in 2021.
