专辑介绍
Mono+WEG的超级组合带来的超级专辑.
"面对战争与死亡，作为人类，基本上是无助的，因为前路并不能自由选择。我们生存在这里，大概只能以惭愧、谦卑、自省的心灵，检视人类深处的占有欲，祈望不会被拉扯出来，再次进入一次轮回。World's End Girlfriend就是以这个心态，来为这次与Mono的合作专辑而展开工作。双方都刻意隐退了那些签名式的电音及轰音，以相当纯净的小提玲及电结他互相交织出一张74分钟的网，小提琴的返覆演奏似是对死者的默悼，中段加入mono式不徐不疾的电结他，缓缓输送一种乐观天真的气息。到最后小提琴与结他的高潮融合，除了令听者出了一身冷汗，也感受到那种死亡与重生的拉锯。 "
What the hell? In April 2006, Mono released their instrumental opus You Are There on Temporary Residence and they toured the world in support of it. In September of the same year Palmless Prayer/Mass Murder Refrain is issued as a collaborative album with World's End Girlfriend (aka Katsushiko Maeda), the underground Japanese producer, mixologist, and multi-instrumentalist. Helping out with this slab are a string section, a chorus, a pianist, and jazz saxophonist Takafumi Ishikawa. This is, it appears, one long set with each "movement" or division in it marked with the titles "Trailer 1," "Trailer 2," "Trailer 3," and so on. It begins innocently enough with an elegy played by the string section, shifting slowly, purposefully in dirge mode. The guitars begin to enter at seven-and-a-half minutes into the 12-minute opener. The chorus enters in "Trailer 2" with the guitars barely present, but adding just enough tension that the listener knows something is about to happen. Tension is built so slowly as to almost be imperceptible. On "Trailer 3," Mono begins to play as a trio, with drums weaving through the strings, which become more insistent until WEG and Mono set the noise to stun about halfway through its 13-plus minutes. Chorus, piano, and silence add dimension to the strings on "Trailer 4," and Mono begins their swell, burn and release on the final trailer, slipping around the background, creating a taut sonic backdrop until the entire thing just explodes as a mournful, gorgeous, funereal hymn that eventually enters back into silence. Palmless Prayer reveals an entirely different side of this band, who nonetheless keep their individual identity adding depth and dimension to their sound. This isn't classical music, but it's not rock, either. It's something else entirely, which apparently folds into the multivalent calling card Mono have attempted to establish since they began. It's puzzling, bewildering and utterly beautiful.
