Guest Admin Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 MONO "Hymn To The Immortal Wind" dbl LP http://stores.channeladvisor.com/vinylhome/Items/656605314815 Just in time for their 10-year anniversary, MONO return with their fifth studio album, the absolutely massive Hymn To The Immortal Wind. The music is naturally majestic, with MONO's trademark wall of noise crashing beautifully against the largest chamber orchestra the band has ever enlisted. The instrumentation is vast, incorporating strings, flutes, organ, piano, glockenspiel and tympani into their standard face-melting set-up. While Hymn continues to mine the cinematic drama inherent in all of MONO's music, the dynamic shifts now come more from dark-to-light instead of quiet-to-loud. The maturity to balance these elements so masterfully has become MONO's strongest virtue - save for perhaps their uncanny ability to sound every bit like a plane crashing into a Beethoven concert. Temporary Residence has been so kind as to provide a test pressing for one our test pressing contests. Purchase a copy of this album and be entered to win. Good luck. We should have vinyl around the middle of April. Also, friends of mine have told me that this is one of the most epic instrumental albums ever recorded.

akross Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I am patiently waiting for my vinyl to arrive, I have been avoiding the leak with success so far. I am bummed that the ship date got pushed out 2 weeks, but this is going to be my top of the year for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezfools Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 listening to the leak now. Never knew about mono, but randomly heard a few songs on myspace three days ago and liked what I heard. Had a friend grab me a few albums and gonna take a listen. The price on this isn't too bad either, makes it that more tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Over $30 PPD for me, but it's arguably my favorite Mono album, quite possibly the nicest variant out there, and /500. You win this one, Newbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodan Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 just make sure you only buy 5 or less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Does it come with the story cards though? Dammit. I don't think I need this record twice, btu those are nice colors. EDIT: "save for perhaps their uncanny ability to sound every bit like a plane crashing into a Beethoven concert." The fuck MONO song sounds anything like that?

kentin31 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 The colors are gorgeous. Enough to make me buy a second copy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'm pretty sure that is nearly 2x what it cost me when it came out in similar colors that included the 7 prints. great record though for anyone who doesn't have it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dufman86 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Given that my colored first press is warped to the point of being hardly playable I might have to jump on this. Beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
