Mono – beyond the past • live in London with the Platinum Anniversary Orchestra 2cd/3lp

“Beyond The Past – Live In London With The Platinum Anniversary Orchestra” documents MONO’s extraordinary performance from the Beyond The Past-event that celebrated the band’s 20th anniversary, which took place at the historic Barbican Centre in London, England on December 14, 2019. For that once-in-a-lifetime event, MONO selected a memorable line-up of old and new friends, including fellow Japanese underground icons, Boris and Envy, as well as French post-metal legends, Alcest, and UK collaborators A.A. Williams and Jo Quail. The event culminated with MONO performing with The Platinum Anniversary Orchestra, featuring the National Youth String Orchestra to a rapt, sold-out audience of 2,000. Playing through a two-hour set that touches on the band’s entire history, the sheer euphoria and dynamic resonance that engulfed the massive crowd was captured in brilliant detail. “Beyond The Past” is one of the most essential MONO recordings. Packaged in a 2CD and a very luxurious 3LP-gatefold with accompanying 40-page photo book, this is the rare document of an event that is an event in and of itself.’
