A genre-defying release
author: KSPC-FM Los Angeles, CA
A genre-defying release from Washington D.C. based artist Mons, who also owns the startup label Olympus Mons. The album explores the worlds of noise, industrial and idm, and there's also some psych/surf rock thrown in at the end. The music is best, I beieve, when he sticks to more traditional, beat-oriented pieces, as in 3,4, and 8... ...though 7 and the secret track are quite good. Overall, a pleasingly weird collection of music from a guy who seems like a pretty interesting character.

Mat records astonishingly exciting instrumental music as MONS. With influences ranging from contemporary minimalist techno to Prince, the remaster of the theories for lunar formation is something that fans of harsh noise and sweet melodies certainly should pick up.
