Omar Rodriguez Lopez
 

http://www.mtv.com/bands/events/cmj/...ges/flip15.jpgMost people know him as the guitarist and composition genious of The Mars Volta. But he does solo ambient type stuff on the side. A Manual Dexterity: Soundtrack Volume One is my personal favourite. His new album "Se Dice Bisonte, No Bufalo" leaked today. I havent had a chance to listen to it yet. But my friend said it was amazing. I can probably upload it at some point today for anyone who is interested.

So i listened to the new album a couple of times. And its really good. Cedric sings in a couple tracks. hxxp://www.megaupload.com/?d=QO6O9AWO

I've heard Please Heat This Eventually parts 1 and 2 by him and they are great. Is that stuff anything like Manuel Dexterity?

Yeah, the Manual Dexterity stuff is kinda similar. He likes to branch out a bit between all his albums but they've mostly all got the same feel. This new album might be my favourite.

Cool, I'll give that stuff a listen to later.

New Omar Leakage..PM if you want it.

A want his album w/ Lydia Lunch. Anything would be good though.

Speaking of TMV, their new track "Goliath" is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

orly?

Yes, it's true.

Not really what I was expecting... very RIO-ish. Gooood stuff.

Anyone heard the new album Cryptomnesia by El Nuevo Grupo de Omar Rodriguez Lopez? Cedric sings on most if not all of the album, and Zach Hill is on drums. I'm playing it now for the first time...nearly halfway. Just wondering what people thought of it.

I like some of Omar's solo albums (Se Dice Bisonte, No Bùfalo is probably my favorite, but I like a couple of otheres) but some others are too wanky for me. So far this one, I'm sure due in part to Cedric's vocals, is closer to a TMV album so that's a plus.

I can't get over Cedric's voice. The music is pretty well written though.
