MONO INC. – a virus – a fever – a drug – an addiction – or just a rock-band?

Derived from the term „monomania“  a monomaniac quartet arose shortly after the beginning of this millennium and, in the space of 10 years and 7 albums, wove themselves into the hearts of thousands.

Many critics and journalists still call the stellar ascent of the Lady & Three Gentleman from Hamburg a Blitzkrieg, but the reality that lies behind their success is long-term hard graft, numerous albums, EPs and singles, and countless concerts. So reaching this point of significance in the rock landscape- something the band could only dream of in startup times – is actually a pretty logical outcome.

Singer and composer, Martin Engler: „Today we play on the same stages where once our idols played. This is partly strange, but it makes me very proud, too. “ And this bandleader doesn’t even think of taking a rest: „The inner clock ticks on and we constantly strive to evolve creatively and artistically! “

With „The Clock Ticks On“ the band is now pushing through another door: 16 MONO INC. „All-Time-Favorites“ appear on CD1 followed by 16 acoustic tracks on CD2, called “Alive & Acoustic”. And some of these acoustic interpretations sound so unique they could easily be mistaken for originals.

Whether you describe MONO INC. as Alternative, Wave or Indie this superb 2 CD collection of 32 songs navigates a journey through galaxies the band have traversed over the last 10 years.
