5.0 out of 5 stars Nonument is Monumental, November 26, 2002

By	Pinoy Boy "4adhead" (Boston, MA/Manila, Philippines) - See all my reviews

I have not stopped playing Nonument since I got it. This by far is 4AD's best release in 2002--the album also ranks in my year's best. If you are looking for experimental/ambient music--with an occasional dance tune--well, this is the cd for you. Nonument is a combination of electronic music, trumpet, cello guitars and ethereal vocals. My favorite tracks are The Fourth Day and Three Sided. My only complaint is that the excellent single, Scene of the Crime, is not included in this cd. Oh yeah, the design includes some really interesting photography.
