Well this is one of the best I have posted. 12 mins of time-lapse filming of Iceland's WoW-ness is worth the price of admission alone! Mono often get mis-described as P*st-R*ck but they have far more in common with Tomita, Far East Family Band, Stomu Yamashita over in Japan, and Vangelis over in Europe. Very accessible music - but clearly Japanese in origin. Epic, soundscape/soundtrack stuff played by a rock band but then with orchestra re-added. When it works it is brilliant - their live shows are legendary as a result. They're just perfect here...

The track is from their last album 'For My Parents'
The news is that they have just recorded a new one for Pelagic Records - deets to follow, but I had to post that vid!
