One Step More and You Die

by MONO

supported by

Trveheimer maybe this is my favourite album of all time. dark, but soothing instrumental post rock. I really recommend this to people who are into music, irrespective of the genres they usually like. sit down, relax, enjoy.

akira188 感情の起伏とか、人生の侘び寂びが表現されている様に感じました。
音になっているのは作り手の起伏、侘び寂びなんだけど、それが自分にフィットしたんだと思うし、もっと作り手のことを知りたいと思えました。
CD持ってたけど度重なる引っ越しで行方不明。
こうしてbandcampで買えるの素晴らしい。
このバンドが、この作品発表当時からインターネットのこと考えてたのは凄いと思ってます。 Favorite track: Com(?).

Robert Waggoner Howie Not heavy like Black Sabbath, rather, heavy like Beethoven. This album is totally mesmerizing and beautiful. Favorite track: Com(?).

Russellpants This album has it's share of slow, somewhat dull moments, but at it's worst it is still very pretty. In contrast Com(?) is a monolithic beast of power and heaviness, that you might normally expect to be the closing track, rather than track 2.

Quintessential post rock here. Favorite track: Com(?).

about

Since its original release in 2002, One Step More and You Die has become the monolithic cornerstone of MONO's discography. Every subsequent release has been inevitably (and perhaps unfairly) compared to this album, as if it were the band's high watermark, never to be dethroned. MONO brilliantly answered even the most stubborn of naysayers with 2006's transcendent You Are There. To celebrate that release, we dug into their back catalog and pulled out this masterpiece of dark dirge, repackaged with additional artwork. One Step More stared the "sophomore slump" threat square in the face and pummeled it from note one. Four years later we can confidently say that it sounds just as brutal and beautiful as it did the day it was laid to tape.
