i really like them, have formica blues and i always listen to it when sad. seems that they are relatively unknown?! i bet many of you would like them.
"Influenced by jazz, '60s pop and classic film-soundtracks, the trip-hop duo Mono combined vocalist Siobhan de Mare and producer Martin Virgo, a one-time member of Nellee Hooper's production team which worked on Massive Attack's "Unfinished Sympathy" as well as Bjork's Debut"
find them at tripnotic
they only did one album :/ but it's highly recommendable!
sorry if me/someone else have ranted about already, i did a search but you know

I have formica Blues but I've never really listened to it. I picked it up cheap ina sale I think. I just haven't picked them up as they look a bit trip hop lite. But I'll give 'em a spin.

I really like life in mono. Featured on the "Great Expectations" soundtrack as I recall. One of the remixes of it sounds a lot like portishead.
I didn't know they had an album (I knew they disbanded shortly after mono - life in mono), I'll try to hunt down a copy. Especially as I gave my copy of mono - life in mono away to my ex.
