If you haven't heard Xenophanes, you can at the Omar Rodriguez Lopez Productions' web page in the Catalogue, under the 'Digital' tab that appears below the LP; you can stream the entire thing (along with most of his/defacto/tmv releases!) and decide for yourself.

Mixed by Rich Costey, Thomas Pridgin on drums, Ximena Sarinena (up and coming Mexican pop singer with a unique, pleasant voice; also ORML's lady if I'm not mistaken), art design by Sonny Kay.

In the context of Bedlam of Goliath, Pridgin's fusion chops could be taken as miscellaneous prog shredding of the worst kind --a shame. On Xenophanes OMRL has music that more than meets his drummer's style and strengths half-way, and the result is a great deal more satisfying.

Ximena Sariñana singing ORML's lyrics is the real highlight and pleasure of the LP --Omar's surely auto-tune corrected vocals are unexpectedly tolerable, though Ximena takes center stage and keeps it for the most part (Especially Track 6). Her being listed as an accompanist is yet another ironic, humorous conceit on the part of the uber-producer-arranger-yaddayaddayadda OMRL.

This reviewer's judgement: if not the strongest material since Frances the Mute, then Xenophanes is certainly the most compelling, focused and uniquely stylized release in-itself since Tremulant, this coming from an early admirer of TMV/OMRL's work. The lyrics are especially compelling, being completely in the Spanish tongue; the textures, lush; the percussion and rhythm sections tight and focused. Nothing negative to add other than possibly the mix: loud, loud, loud!

excellent work. this is probably my favourite work associated with The Mars Volta and i can already tell i am going to play this one to death. Everything that was awesome about The Mars Volta just got better (sorry Cedric Bixlar-Zavala). the vocals offered by Omar and Ximena are hypnotic when they are not euphoric, and the rhythms and musicianship will not disappoint. All songs are in spanish, but this is great for the person who speaks little or no Spanish as the ear is drawn more to the sounds rather than the meaning of the words. This makes each listen as fresh as the one before. Every track is plain awesome. A good balance of sounds throughout - this album will kick you in the knackers while kissing you on the face.

Fans of Mew or The Sound of Animals Fighting might appreciate this album

I absolutely love this album. I have a lot of Omars music and out of all of it I think I prefer this offering the most...and the front cover is pretty cool too!
