Description
2LP, label is Rodriguez Lopez Productions, catalogue number is RLP025.
This LP is long deleted, finding a mint copy is very difficult. This one is unplayed, includes the poster and glasses as new.
The outer sleeve is excellent but there is slight paper crack in the top spine half way down for about an inch long, only with the paper not the actual card sleeve so no real split.
Inner sleeves are both excellent over all but one has a small side split about 2 inches long in the middle.
Over all this is a lovely copy. You will struggle to find a nicer copy than this one these days.
This album features a wide spine jacket with 2 full color 3D inner sleeves and 3D Glasses. Also included, Limited Edition 12" x 24" full color (folded) poster insert. T
This record does not include a digital download card.
Known for such landmark releases as the gold-certified De-Loused In The Comatorium, Frances The Mute, and 2008’s The Bedlam In Goliath which featured Best Hard Rock Performance Grammy winner, “Wax Simulacra,” THE MARS VOLTA returns in epic and unexpected fashion with its sixth album: Noctourniquet.
Written by Omar Rodriguez Lopez and Cedric Bixler Zavala and produced by Rodriguez Lopez, the 13-track album explores musical territories previously uncharted in the duo’s 20 or so years of creating music together.
The spectrum of musical and emotional textures conceived and created by Rodriguez Lopez on Noctourniquet ranges from the opening bombast of “The Whip Hand” to the menacing crawl of “The Malkin Jewel” punctuated throughout by hypnotic melodies and borderline electro-ambient washes, most notably in the epic “In Absentia.”
The bold diversity of the new material combined with Rodriguez Lopez’s assured producer’s hand guiding The Mars Volta’s most confident and refined performances to date make Noctourniquet an early contender for this year’s most challenging and rewarding listen.
As with previous TMV efforts, Bixler Zavala’s lyrics trace a narrative journey with a defined protagonist, this time inspired by disparate elements including ’80s UK alt-rockers The Godfathers, Superman comic nemesis Solomon Grundy and the Greek myth of Hyacinthus.
Noctourniquet was performed by The Mars Volta Group: Omar Rodriguez Lopez, Cedric Bixler Zavala, Juan Alderete de la Pena, Marcel Rodriguez Lopez, and Deantoni Parks.
