referencing Walking Cloud And Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered And The Sun Shined, CD, Album, Sli, TRR 68

I must have some fetish for albums with long titles. I found this one, which also opened my ears up to the whole Temporary Residence Limited label. I do not regret that one bit.

Mono disenthralls another fine album. What is it? Your typical post-rock-indie-artsy-fag-shit as most put it, and I could not agree more. But is that a bad thing? Not at all! The compositions in this near 60 minutes of music is excellent. Not one moment was I bored or disappointed or expecting more.

What grabs me is the beautiful strings. Viola, cello, violin, guitars, bass... They're all so well done, wrapped up tight with some subtle (and not so subtle) drums to back it all up. Now, perhaps, that description sounds boring, but it is very vague when describing this album. It is nothing but yet-another-post-rock album, however, its well done. A really great CD worth listening to a few times over.
