(2019) MONO - Hymn to the Immortal Wind [Anniversary Edition]
Review:
…remastered from the original analog master tapes by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service. Japan’s MONO have always been a cinematic band, concerning themselves with flow, dynamics, and textures. Since they began recording in 2001, they have undergone a virtual transformation, from power instrumental rock maximalists to a more diverse, lush, orchestral sound that focuses as much on space as it does on actual sound. Hymn to the Immortal Wind follows 2006’s You Are There and Palmless Prayer/Mass Murder (a collaboration with World’s End Girlfriend’s Katsushiko Maeda) by three years. These earlier recordings have vast sonic differences — You Are There is a more formal rock-oriented recording, while Palmless Prayer/ Mass Murder, complete with string section, offers the more subtle and melodic aspect to the quartet’s approach. On Hymn to the Immortal Wind, bandleader and composer Takaakira “Taka” Goto insisted on the band playing live in the studio along with a 25-piece string section with flutist, directed by Paul Von Mertens and Dave Max Crawford. Produced by and engineered by Steve Albini — who showed his usual uncanny talent for placing microphones all over the room and capturing the proceedings perfectly — this set is the most varied, adventurous, and utterly musical offering from Mono yet.

01 Ashes in the Snow
02 Burial at Sea
