Band mainstays Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Baxter-Zavala insist that labels like \"prog\" don't interest them, and that this is emphatically\nnot a \"sequel\" to 2003's\nDe-Loused in the Comatorium. What it\nis was thematically inspired by a stranger's diary allegedly found by late bandmate Jeremy Ward, the basis for an expansive, often amorphous musical head-trip that brews psychedelia, trance, hard-rock and free-jazz into a daunting new whole. The dozen tracks here represent but five \"songs\" proper, though the band's disdain for conventional track banding inspire it to sound more like a stream-of-consciousness soundscape from Can--or a dark, lyrically inventive, if decidedly troubled corner of their ids. On the \"Umbilical Syllables\" portion of \"Cygnus..\" and \"The Widow\" Bixter-Zavala invokes the wailing, Zeppelin\nII \u0026amp;\nIII spirit of Robert Plant set against a feverish, swirling melange that's anything but the blues. The vocalist coaxes \"L' Via l'Viaquez\"\nen Espanol, while his band indulges its space-mambo conceits with an evocative spirit that recalls\nLatin Playboys at their most mischievous. It's an album that loops back on itself in a haunting ellipse--and one whose boundless ambition makes Pink Floyd sound like three-chord bar punters by comparison.\n--Jerry McCulley\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 075021039773\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0075021039773\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51456217481513,"sku":"DE-A0MC-R1SN","price":6.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/51pHa0zDQzL.jpg?v=1762019892","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/en\/products\/the-mars-volta-frances-the-mute-cd-used","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
