About this product
2022 . My Story, The Buraku Story is a new feature-length documentary film that explores the discrimination against a group of people - commonly called Inchthe burakuminInch - who were classed into lowly groups and segregated from the rest of Japanese society. This discrimination is not by race or ethnicity, but rather by place of residence and bloodline, and has existed for centuries - albeit very rarely acknowledged or discussed in Japan. When director Yusaku Mitsuwaka imagined the exemplary score for such a culturally sensitive and significant subject, he idealized Mono to help tell this story through their legendarily cinematic music. Following their recent experiments with electronic textures infused into their trademark dynamic rock compositions, My Story, The Buraku Story finds Mono at their most understated and elegiac. The songs that make up My Story, The Buraku Story are largely built around piano, strings, synths, and choral vocal loops. As one might expect from Mono, the arrangements are masterworks of understated execution with oversized emotional resonance. By far Mono's most delicate album, it is a fitting document of the band's first-ever full-length film soundtrack. Album Tracks 1. Doumyaku 2. Watashi 3. Kokyo 4. Yurameki 5. Gohon No Yubi 6. Kioku Kattou 7. Chinmoku 8. Himitsu 9. Songen 10. The Place

What are we doing here? The year 2020 turned what was once quintessential late-night stoner existentialism into a daily mantra for nearly everyone on this planet. What are we doing with our limited time in this life? What is our purpose? What should we be doing? For the past 25 years, Mono have explored themes such as the relationship between darkness and light; hope in the face of disaster; and the duality of birth and death. On their 12th full-length album, OATH, they ponder the time that makes up life, and how to make the most of that time. Recorded and mixed with longtime friend and collaborator, Steve Albini, OATH opens like a sunrise with a slowly ascending orchestra and brass section, the full band taking it's time to revel in the atmosphere before joining in the splendor. Throughout the album's 71-minute runtime, Mono meditates on that theme of time and life in myriad ways. The unhurried evolution of a song that is a hallmark of Mono's catalog is infused with an air of elegance that elevates OATH to new heights. Mono challenged themselves with a universally relatable existential examination, and answered with OATH, an album that offers benevolent reflection rather than fleeting respite. Album Tracks 1. Us, Then 2. Oath 3. Then, Us 4. Run on 5. Reflection 6. Hear the Wind Sing 7. Hourglass 8. Moonlight Drawing 9. Holy Winter 10. We All Shine on 11. Time Goes By
![Mono - Requiem For Hell - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/97ee06f0-a794-4b41-8a7c-e1aa7b841f81.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Mono / REQUIEM FOR HELL - Requiem For Hell finds Mono returning to longtime friend and collaborator, Steve Albini. After Mono and Albini's band, Shellac, toured Japan together last year, they realized how much they missed the (often wordless) creative dialogue they shared during the making of many of their most memorable albums - beginning with Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky... (2004) and culminating with Hymn To Immortal Wind (2009). The rebirth of the Albini collaboration for Requiem For Hell also coincided with the birth of a close friend's first child, whose actual in utero heartbeat serves as the foundation for the aptly named InchEly's Heartbeat.Inch For Mono, it all felt so right, so inevitable. Requiem For Hell is undeniably heavier and scarier than most of Mono's output to this point - hear the dizzying 18-minute title track for example - but it also carries some of their most sublime moments. This dichotomy is how one band's obsession with conflict has manifested itself into one of underground music's simultaneously quietest and loudest catalogs. Album Tracks 1. Death in Rebirth 2. Stellar 3. Requiem for Hell 4. Ely's Heartbeat 5. The Last Scene
