4 stars What happens when two leading Japanese Post-Rock acts join forces together?

This album seems to be one of the best Post-Rock ones from so fruitful year of 2006. It sounds very much like modern classic than your usual 'guitars build climaxes' Post-Rock album. 5 long movements, each corresponding to ones in Classical Music: 1st is a prologue, 2nd is an interlude, 3rd is a main theme, 4th is another interlude and 5th is coda. My favourite is definitely 'Part Three' with simply 3- chord harmony and captivating melodic line. It's so utterly sad and beautifully dark, I wish Id had this track played on my funeral...but will I care then? He-he, anyway, with strings and pianos attached MONO's music gains universal volume, it becomes so astoundly big and awesome, that it's hard tos it through the whole record at once (at least, for me). If only those tracks could have been a little bit, a little bit I insist, SHORTER, I would happily submit my max rating to this amazing album. Highly recommended anyway and don't dare to miss it!
