looking for an epic melting of your face. check this neoclassical group…MONO.

Asian artists, in general, have a uniquly inherent ability to tap into the senses, and create something that is an organic extension of the natural world, the innocent beauty…and Tokyo artists, Mono, haven’t missed a beat or guitar progression to do just the same. The eleven-minute epic instrumental event that is, Ashes in the Snow (from their recent release, hymn to the immortal wind), gives you a distinct look into this band’s potential and ethereal creation. Their art is very classical stylistically, as it beckons the listener to follow the story line in musical highs and lows, anticipation, anxiety, anger, suspense, and finally satisfaction. This music has such a fidelity and piety from within that the band has even neglected to confuse the listener with lyrics. If you’re looking for something more bob dylanesque avert your attention, but do so knowing you have missed the chance to let musical art stimulate another world in your brain’s vast caverns.
