[sunshine and gasoline]

Me to, I've been listening to your hip hop and Mono all day.

Under the Piper Tree is an amazing album, every song is like the ownage. Human Highway is amazing and so is 16.12. Amazing amazing post rock band. This is true japanese music.

Yeah, I got One more step..., and I do agree, they are so fucking amazing, what impresses me most about them is their guitar tone, it's amazingly clear while still being packed with a ton of effects. And that whole album is like amazing, it's so beutiful.

Also what do you mean, winzip it? Haven't I done so with everything I sent you so far?

[mow]

You used winrar actually ^.^. But its okay, rar it and Ill get my friend to burnt it for me.

and this is just beyond any words. I never felt this way since I heard my f#a#oo by GSY!BE

[jkingler]

Can you guys resend all your PM's with Post Rock at some point. My WiFi keps cutting out mid DL (and mid UL, which is why you haven't been getting as much music lately.

the 5 songs from mono that decompressed correctly were awesome, I must say :thumbs

They are as good as or better than WEG, IMO.

Good stuff :D

[sunshine and gasoline]

OK, moe I'll start uploading it right away.

Jkingler, to bad that you're having problems, but I'll be happy to reupload it for you anytime, this great music needs expousur.

Can you guys belive that I actually missed this band live when they came to Sweden, only because I was ignorant of the existence of post rock at the time, damn my ignorance (maybe the greatest misstake of my life).

[mow]

:amazed

I cant even begin to imagine what these bands (GSYBE, ASMZ, Mono ect) might be like live! The experince must be out of this planet

[sunshine and gasoline]

From what I've read in reviews, these bands seem really amazing live, they say that the audience is like mezmersied by the band and that the dynamic of the songs is usually alot stronger live, and they often mention that the volume of the bands is insane.

Funny thing about Mono is or so it seem, that they never talk live. Not even to say thanks, I wonder if it's the truth.

But to bad I live in a backwater country, it's like really rare for a good band to come to Sweden, GYBE came here only once, three years ago.

[Erkekjetter]

I've never heard Mono, they must be pretty good.

[Shino]

never heard of them...

[Nakor]

i've never heard of them either. :huh

*wants to listen to them*

[jkingler]

Did Erk, Shino, and Fireball ever get pimped? I am necroposting because I am currently on a Mono kick. They rule. Why don't more people post here? Like, seriously? :huh

[cloin]

I guess I need to hear the new one. I own Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined and have Under the Pipal Tree on mp3.

[mow]

Joe, pass colin the link for the new Mono I sent you last night please. I think I delted it.

Also, I'm going to up the latest Mono + World's Endgirlfriend collab. It's unlike anything the 2 bands have created till now. Gone os the focus on the systematic buildup and climax, an gone is the obsucre experimntal nature. Instead the foucs is on simplistic sustained harmony with minor variations added. It feels more like Philip Glass or Rachel's with a touch of GSY!BE from their F#a#oo period, but far more morbid and lonesome.

[Neenah]

*begs to be pimped*

[mow]

I though I passed the links to everyone (who was there at the time at least). But I'll get on it, unless someone has the tracks on their pc and can share them now. That would be most excellent.

[o0oEnderIlleso0o]

I cannot express my love for Mono in such a way that would do them justice. So much more sincere, intense, explosive, AMAZING than just about any other group out there. I've finally got my hard copy of "ONE MORE STEP AND YOU DIE" this week. It is pure genius. Must MUST have for any self-respecting fan of instrumental music.

[skunkworks]

Pimp it if possible, I've been craving some Japanese rock. Who are they comparable to?

[mow]

Explostions in the Sky, bits and pieces from GSY!BE and Mogwai.

You will all get a pimp in a few minutes :amuse

[o0oEnderIlleso0o]

SO much better than Explosions though.

[jkingler]

^Agreed. Definitely agreed on that one. :P

[Sid]

I prefer Explosions In The Sky myself, but I <3 Mono as well

[Hangatýr]

Moe, why the hell does it say all tracks are untitled?!

[Oskar von Reuental]

Because they have no titles. :P

[Hangatýr]

Then why the fuck are you people talking about songs with titles while they have none?!

[mow]

Dave, who took all the jam from your cupboard? =/

Mono - You Are There is upped. It's their 2006 release. Passing it by you all in a sec.

[Jef88]

:omg
Moe :thumbs
if its anything near mogwai its great
:love

[Hangatýr]

...who took all the jam from my cupboard? ...the hell? O.o

[less]

Okay, I'll try to get into these guys. Where do I start?

[Julian]

Start with Under the Pipal Tree, the second track is godly, just look at how Moe reacted to it a few posts back :P

[mow]

yeah, Under The Pipal Tree was beyond words. Im ripping and upping it for you less

[less]

That's what I wanna hear XD

[Catatonik]

Mono are fucking genius.

Flat out.

I stumbled over them on Soundclick back before I joined NF, and have been in love since.

[Julian]

Just a heads up for ya moe if you haven't seen this yet, but http://youtube.com/watch?v=0HQHLGwlhPk&search=mono, kidnapper bell live~

[tardaime]

From what I've read in reviews, these bands seem really amazing live, they say that the audience is like mezmersied by the band and that the dynamic of the songs is usually alot stronger live, and they often mention that the volume of the bands is insane.

So I was on their concert yesterday...indeed it's loud, I was half-deaf for 15 mins after. I also liked how they move, especially Taka (guitarist). The bassist Tamaki is rather monotone just stepping from leg to leg tho. Overall great but too short :cry (1:15)

Funny thing about Mono is or so it seem, that they never talk live. Not even to say thanks, I wonder if it's the truth.
Dunno for all concerts but they didn't say a word to audience. Tamaki seemed very nice after though. I exchanged a word or 2 with her.

But to bad I live in a backwater country, it's like really rare for a good band to come to Sweden, GYBE came here only once, three years ago.
Well they're going to Greece now afaik.

[Jackal Iscariot]

i've never heard of them either. :huh

*wants to listen to them*

Same here :amazed :(

[Hangatýr]

Same here :amazed :(

-taunts Jackal with his Mono-collection-

[Dr. Boskov Krevorkian]

I need to expand my Post Rock Library even farther. Let me have it, if you don't mind.

[Brother Wayne Kramer]

i'd up an album or 2 for you, but my upload is insanely bad.

[Dr. Boskov Krevorkian]

At least you're trying. Oh well, I'll wait for Moe.

[Sid]

I'm seeing Mono live soon. Together with Chris Clarke =]

[Dr. Boskov Krevorkian]

You know, I've come to the conclusion that Oklahoma might be the worst place in all of the United States, when I'm trying to find bands I listen to shows. It's a little rediculous, and infuriating.
