(2015) Mono - The Last Dawn-Rays of Darkness Tour
Review:
Out of all the rock groups to emerge in the 21st century, very have remained as pure in tonality and emotion as Japan’s Mono.
Mono have created their own world in both the studio and live mediums, extending the beauty of what they create on stage and on record with a graceful humbleness that is also lacking in music culture of this era. To capture the journey they took on with their last major works, they are working with Pelagic Records to release a 100 page book that collects professional photography during the The Last Dawn and Rays of Darkness tour between 2014-2015. An adventurous and unique project in vision, their digital manager Seiya Ogino designed the book under his Ogino Design company, presenting the works of Chinese photographer Muto over a lengthy set of concerts from the quartets last tour.
To accompany the book, Pelagic Records and Mono have collected live recordings for a double CD companion piece. The groups on staff live sound engineer Koichi Hara captured a full recording of the group in Paris, France that the band has selected for the two disc bonus item. The entire package is limited to only 800 copies.
