Совместный проект японских групп Моно и ВЕГ.
Суровый японский зюль/симфопрог/амбиент/лаунж.
Прямо таки просится саундтреком в какой-нибудь фантастический фильм типа "Интерстеллар" (внимание - 2005-й год! и, во-вторых, ОСТ от Зиммера отнюдь не хуже, просто - для понимания).

The Japanese Mogwai? Well, not quite, but one might get the impression if not
paying enough attention to the music. Formed in Tokyo (Japan) back in 1999,
Mono are undoubtedly one of the most popular representatives of the post-rock
genre. Нowever, do not go expecting to hear anything remotely similar to the
more "avant-garde" side of post-rock (GY!BE, A Silver Mt. Zion etc.) Mono's
approach is considerably more melodic, and the compositions are structurally
much simpler. This guitar-lead ensemble mostly relies on creating very
emotionally charged compositions, occasionally using huge build-ups with their
massive distorted guitar riffs ("wall of noise") in a similar way to their
Scottish counterparts Mogwai. Their approach is hardly the most original one, but it does sound good, and I guess that's all that really matters, right? Recommended for fans of the genre.

(c) World's End Girlfriend biography, PA
World's End Girlfriend is the brainchild of a Japanese artist and
multi-instrumentalist Katsuhiko Maeda. Not much is known about him or his
background, he generally seems to avoid publicity, which has ultimately made
him a rather mysterious character. Нis love for classical music -- which
already started at the tender age of 10 -- is fairly evident when listening to
his surprisingly challenging albums. Нe was already composing music with
guitars and keyboards at the age of 13 and apparently hasn't stopped ever
since. The music of World's End Girlfriend defies categorization. It combines
countless ideas and genres together quite effortlessly, resulting in a weird,
but exciting musical world. In this world, you can find post-rock, modern
classical music, electronica, all presented in a tasteful fashion. The cliches
of the genre are thankfully missing, and there's one thing you can be sure of;
World's End Girlfriend will not let you rest on your laurels; he will always
keep you on your toes as the music often takes drastic changes in direction
without any warning. A cinematic feel is one of the trademarks of Maeda's
detailed compositions (which is hardly surprising in this field of music), but
it's a tad more orchestrated than the average post-rock act. The music is heavy
on the strings and wind instruments (while bearing little resemblance to the
likes of A Silver Mt. Zion) with lots of haunting, eerie soundscapes that will
stay in your head for days. Searching for comparison is a difficult and often
futile task, but I guess one could hear traces of 65daysofstatic (mainly due to
the electronica influence). World's End Girlfriend is certainly not for the
faint of heart, but the more adventurous post-rockers will find this rather unique artist more than worthy of their time. "The Lie Lay Land" (2005) is generally seen as his best album.
