Free Music Notes for Formica Blues
Free Music Review: Fair Warning-- Two Bands Called "Mono"
Hit: 3 Stars
Not so much a review as a heads up... There is an (in my opinion) amazing post-rock band from Japan called Mono. This is not their music. This Mono is a Euro-house/ downtempo outfit. As the Japanese band is far more critically acclaimed, it is likely people may come here and see this album and think it is by "the" Mono. It isn't. If you want '90s cheese-pop with an electronic sound, this is the band far you. If you want the actual band Mono, keep searching.
Formica Blues Poster
Steeped in placid, retro innocence, the updated sounds of Mono may have you nostalgic for pastel plaid patterns in a tripped-up Brady Bunch groove. Nonetheless, Formica Blues offers plenty of modern tricks that won't leave you hanging on the dance floor reaching for your platform shoes. Oscillating between current trip-hop standards and blameless wanderings, the album presents harpsichord turns, abstract jungle beats, slithering guitar, and spacey whirls. Perhaps the most notable distinction is the dainty female vocals of Siobhan De Mar? which suggest influences ranging from St. Etienne to Hooverphonic. On the whole, it's a striking album with enough cross-generational reference to keep the masses cultivated. --Lucas HilbertThe British pop duo's hit debut album coupled with a 10track bonus CD featuring mixes of four of the hit singlesfrom it thus far: two apiece of 'Life In Mono' (BananaRepublic Dub & Propellerheads) and 'Silicone' (Les RhythmesDigitales Mix & Mr Scruff Mix)
Includes a Bonus 10 Track CD with Remixes by Aloof, Les Rythmes Digitales, Mr Scruff, Propellerheads, 187 Lockdown, Natural Born Chillers and More.
