Gone: A Collection Of Eps 2000-2007

Mono (Experimental): Takaakira 'Taka' Goto, Yoda, Yasunori Takada, Tamaki.
Additional personnel: Giovanna Cacciola (vocals); Inger Carle, Jody Livo, Thomas Yang, Susan Voelz (violin); Andra Kular, Vannia Phillips (viola); Diana Parmeter, Alison Chesley (cello).
GONE is an EP of rarities from this instrumental Japanese quartet. From the grand orchestration of bands like Mogwai and Godspeed You Black Emperor! to the heavy, experimental sounds of Pelican (with whom they have a split LP), this EP chronicles Mono's austere beginnings from 2000 to 2007. Tracks include a Japanese-only debut and a Cameron Crowe-commissioned piece previously only available on vinyl.
