CD Details
Synopsis
Product DescriptionIn the beginning, Mono combined the ugly washes of noise pioneered by My Bloody Valentine with the beautiful, subtle guitar figures of Slint and Mogwai. Eventually, their classical influences broke through, pushing the music to structural and emotional extremes that owed as much to Wagner and Beethoven as it did Black Sabbath and Neurosis. This release contains all of Mono's rare and out of print tracks, perfectly displaying their astounding growth. All tracks have been re-mastered from their original tapes, with both CD and triple vinyl formats boasting absurdly beautiful deluxe packaging.

Beauty and rock michael soule | chicago | 05/10/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "the soaring rock of mono won me over at a live show in chicago and i have been in love ever since.
their album work doesn't reach the highs of their live set (and i challenge you to find a rock band worth their salt for which this is true) but it is lovely. the power they display when they do display it is not raw. they shape it and make a form of it which separates their powerful peaks from those of other bands. it is not restraint but creation. yes, creation. there is a sense of the galactic in mono's sense of space and also of channeled power.
beautiful work.
i have three CDs. this is my favorite and the most accessible, i think."
