I stepped away from Mono for a few years, mainly just due to the overwhelming amount of post rock I'd pushed into my ears by that point. But, man, not only is this record amazing but I now get to go back and check out the last couple I missed!
@@thomasberry4486 that ep is my favorite Mono release in years! Would love to hear them do an update on other older songs, particularly The Kidnapper Bell. That version of Halo they redid is incredible!!!
@@stevebond7387 I saw them live in Melbourne earlier this month, and I managed to pick up the last remaining copy of Before the Past on coloured vinyl from the merch stand. I have been putting Halo on heavy rotation ever since. It’s definitely an awesome track!
This album is fantastic! A lot different to their earlier work but, still MONO. I’m even hearing a little Godspeed thrown in there. Their last two albums + this one have been absolutely stellar. Requiem for Hell is underrated as shit.
Finished listening to the whole album. All their/your music is stellar! This, spectacular! It feels like they/you captured the global feeling of the covid experience...MONO, with kindness from Portland, OR...was their for your first, in between and in April 2022.
Listening to this made me imagine going into a bar or any atmosphere, and post-rock is playing on the radio, and everyone in that space knows of, and has love for this music. #Post-Rock Forever
After repeated listens, this album is easily one of my favorite Mono albums. It’s different, the drum tempos are varied and interesting (Too See The World,) it flows well. I’m really digging this one.
Ever since I heard “And Eternity in an hour” it seemed like a wonderful lullaby to me, and I dreamed of putting it with my future daughter in my arms. I just fulfilled that wish ❤️ Desde que escuché “And Eternity in an hour” me pareció una canción de cuna maravillosa, y soñaba con ponerla con mi futura hija en mis brazos. Acabo de cumplir ese deseo ❤️ Love MONO
First impressions: like a quiet, warming, yet relentless tide of a pastel coloured Sunday afternoon!...will come back for more, as I ceaselessly have been for the past 20 years. Again, thank you Mono for your art!
This is a lovely, lilting album to relax and feel good about. Apparently created during the time of the great Covid-19 Pandemic Variant, it fills us with rage and hope for a future not yet found. Japanese experimental rock group Mono came together in 2000, choosing to forgo vocals and concentrate instead on atmospheric, classical-inspired rock music. They have crafted a dynamic, shapeshifting sound that lends itself to long compositions, delivered in varying ranges of dynamics replete with improvisation, restraint, and an energy that bridges post-rock and heavy metal energy. Their recordings walk the line between spacious atmospherics, a lush yet delicate beauty, and overdriven, de-tuned raw power. To ice the cake on their 20-year anniversary celebration, Mono returned to Albini's Chicago studio while on a tour break. They recut three of their earliest songs -- "Com(?)," "L'America," and "Halo" -- live from the studio floor. They issued them without overdubs or post-production as Before the Past: Live from Electrical Audio. In March 2021, Mono released a document of its remarkable 2019 British concert as Beyond the Past: Live in London with the Platinum Anniversary Orchestra. After the global COVID-19 pandemic ended the rest of their world tour, Mono spent the summer of 2020 writing, recording, and mixing. The end result, Pilgrimage of the Soul, was issued in October of 2021. It showcased an evolved sound offering faster tempos, electronics, and rhythms influenced by disco, techno, and other dance music. This is a truly wonderful album to have and appreciate as a classical rock album of sorts. Pax and love, Murf www.allmusic.com/album/pilgrimage-of-the-soul-mw0003554347
I didn't like the last albums after Hymn to the Immortal Wind but this one is great. Mono is back ! May the Earth (or rather humanity) reconcile with the Moon and the Cosmos. It doesn't mean colonizing it by burning all there is here but adopting its "yin" vibe in a post-capitalism and post-productivism way of life.
how the band suppose to make $ off of this album, when the entire thing is up for free public consumption/dl?? why buy something when it's already up for free?
Not among their bests, but definitely tasty, especially in the second part that rises in a whirlwind of climaxes, recalling the sounds of You Are There and HTTIW.
My Name is Mono…well it’s actually Monoleeto…Meaning the Little One. I live in Bath and to my knowledge am the only person I know in the U.K. TO be called MONO. It’s totally uncanny and completely random that I have been on a Huge Pilgrimage and am a songwriter & Internationally published Poet. I have also written about the Souls journey in this modern world… Perhaps whoever markets this band may want to talk to me… I’m going to see this Band anyway as my Terminally I’ll brother has just suggested we go.. Synchronised or WHAT 🌙💫⭐️🌪🔮⚗️🧿
The Auguries feels like home. Favorite track.
Mine is Innocence, such a good album
You're right, just beautiful.
When music speaks to your soul, without saying a single word, literally. Bravo!
I saw MONO in Phoenix this year for the first time! It was amazing! I cried.
I stepped away from Mono for a few years, mainly just due to the overwhelming amount of post rock I'd pushed into my ears by that point. But, man, not only is this record amazing but I now get to go back and check out the last couple I missed!
The EP with 3 re-released tunes and Nowhere, Now Here are also awesome! Their last few albums have been amongst the band’s best.

@@stevebond7387 I will have to check out the Kidnapper Bell track. I have not heard anything before One Step More and You Die.
MONO is so classic. This is there best album in awhile too
Hauntingly beautiful. It drew me in slowly like a black-hole, but it's a wormhole.
MONO... You are the BEST. Thank you, Aishitemasu.
I love the electronic addition in imperfect things, best song of this excellent record.
Love the "raw" sound of the drums on this one. It’s not over-processed as too many records these days. So refreshing ! Love this album as well.
Drum sound is so good, the snare is so crisp, it’s perfect.
Yeah same! The drums are so raw sounding. Kind reminds me of Horizons/East by Thrice. Heck I think they were influenced by mono
Woooh man! Lord Mono.. like so much the electronics (which probably had to be also in Nowhere). Love this work!
I will not emotionally recover from this

My faves were 'Imperfect Things' and 'The Auguries'
After repeated listens, this album is easily one of my favorite Mono albums. It’s different, the drum tempos are varied and interesting (Too See The World,) it flows well. I’m really digging this one.
A beautiful piece of work. The songs really grab and pull you in like a good one should. We can only hope that some of ours come close to yours!
The greatest band of my soul... My inspiration, wisdom and hope.
Beautiful album

Love MONO
There are many ways to postrock worth exploring but at the end of each is MONO. Mercilessly emotional.
so nice to see a new wonderful work from Mono. 🙏 🖤 Appreciate too much
I'm glad that there are still bands like Mono around within this endlessly with boredom and repetition flooded genre.
Just.
speechless.
awesome.
Its more than a blessing to receive more masterpieces from MONO, they forever inspire me 🙏
Astonishing album!!!
Congratulations for this perfect Record! Chapeau

MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!
I saw them for the 3rd time in Phoenix last evening (18th April 2022) Wonderful as usual.
Oh my my! Bittersweet tunes. Thank you for amazing job! 🖤Greetings from Budapest.

Mono the best group of the world.. thx
Brilliant and thought provoking.
Incredible as always.....🙏🙏🙏🤘
Great music.
that's what i was needing
what a journey.
Mono ist einfach cool! 🤘
the first song is based upon the "nowhere now here" album for sure!
i am talking about "after you comes the flood" song
absolutely beautiful!
Excellent
This album has some strong Explosions in the Sky vibes. Love it.
19:28 "To See The World" is one of those songs you can't get you out of your head once you heard it. Simple and short yet sad and anguish.
Fantastic
Got my 3/3/22 ticket for Detroit!
GREAT
me dieron ganas de darme piola, excelente album
all of their albums are great, but this might be their best. thats a lot to say for a band thats been around for as long as they have
And their latest album is even better!
Thx U

This was posted by the record label who put out the album. Streaming is how the entire music industry works now and has for several years.
Realmente aprecio su ayuda y apoyo para la reconstrucción de mi familia 🙏 *DR SABO LOVE ❤️ LE HAGA* UN GRAN ESPIRITUAL....
LouD!

too dull. Old-fashioned post rock. Nothing new..Nothing novel
