Holy Monitor is an album released on February 17, by the Greek krautrock musical collective of the same name. Thirty seven minutes long, the record has ten tracks: Halcyon, Nemesis, Bed Of The Earth, The Vine, Golden Light, Αφροδίτη, Bend The Trees, Icarus, Ice Giants and Cacti. A very surprising and vibrating album, with an amazingly original sonorous approach, the rhythmic impulses are not just overwhelmingly genuine, but revives a very eccentric, majestically creative subgenre of rock. If you haven’t listened before, you better listen to it right now. It’s so surprisingly astounding, authentic, powerful and lucid that you will never believe your ears, no matter how many times you listen to this album. And yet, you will celebrate each and every track of this insane masterpiece! A sagacious, formidable and terrifyingly precious album, the songs are superbly inundated by an electrifying beat, disguised as a thoroughly major musical moonlight, that reenergizes in all guitar lines the tempestuous shadows of a forbidden happiness, that has never been so splendidly solidified in the history of music before.

The tracks are exceedingly powerful, and all of them have very special signatures. With uplifting and sensational vibrating rhythms, each song is a monumental creation per se, with a major set of singular characteristics that explodes in an invisible pattern of emotions, never testified on the creative history of the underground scene. With a musical atmosphere that resurrects the biosphere of a gracious narrative, encircled by a geological form of creative artistry, Holy Monitor embraces a lucid and very effective storm of originality, that gives them a unique shape, unbound by a tremendously expansive musical identity. Their sound is so alive that you literally feel all the musical notes invading your soul with a spontaneous vehemence, lacerating your heart with an oblique insistence, that only a very different genre, executed with an exceptionally skilled musical approach, would be able to perform. 

Holy Monitor, on their eponymous album, has really done a marvelous work. With a strong musical presence and a higher level of originality, extremely uncommon to testify in any genre, they certainly can be regarded as one of the most glorious references in the contemporary development of their genre, for having executed an unparalleled work for the category, that obviously highlights them as one of the most important krautrock groups in the world today (although precisely define their sound, and insert them in one specific category, is a very difficult task, since they incorporate into their music an enormous set of several elements, from a lot of other genres as well).  

Holy Monitor is a splendid group, and their eponymous album is a marvelous record. Everybody that listen to this majestic masterpiece would be wonderfully impressed, and literally without words. Departing from a superior level of creative artistry, Holy Monitor gives us paradise, in a very outstanding, excellent and vivaciously elaborated sonorous dimension.
