Omar Rodriguez-López Band • Page 8

well... Part 2 was not what I was expecting, at all.... haha. Not quite digging it much, but here we are

 

OK.... Part 3 is the best for sure, some cool shit here

 

Lol, cancel your weekend.

 

They're all already in my library but pretty cool for anyone who hasn't taken a deep dive

 

My recs of his best solo albums if anyone is overwhelmed.

Omar - Se Dice Bufalo
Omar - Apocalypse Inside An Orange
Omar - Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fungus
Omar - Old Money
Omar - Megaritual
El Groupo Nuevo - Cryptomnesia
Omar - Xenophanes
Omar - Solar Gambling
Antemasque - s/t

 

I still want that second Antemasque album they never released.

 

Thank you, that is exactly how I’m feeling rn lol

 

No worries! I've done the hard work of listening to every single of his albums multiple times, mostly so I know what I like, but I'm happy to help other TMV fans

 

Any idea what this is for?

 

Rumors have been going around for years about Omar having a ton of footage from pretty much his entire career so maybe a documentary/ retrospective

 

From the video description:

Filmed over a period of 20+ years by founding member of At The Drive In and The Mars Volta, Omar Rodríguez-López, and containing remarkable footage from 100s of hours of Omar’s self-shot material – this is a totally unique window into the incredible journey of one of this generations most progressive and prolific musical partnerships – Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler Zavala. This documentary will be presented to the participating public for the first time at the Raindance Film Festival on October 28, 2023.

 

$1600 for the box set. Pre orders start 10/30

Pre-orders for the individual LPs start December 1st

Also some tshirts/sweatshirts look like they'll be available

Wow...........

 

I reallllly wish I could justify this

 

I'm hopeful this is too rich for most folks and it'll be discounted or on the second hand market for a more manageable price in a year or two.

That said there's quite a few I just can't get into, so Ill probably set money aside now and grab my "essentials" in December. It helps I already have a few

'Is it the Clouds?':

1. Is It The Clouds?
2. Mere Centimeter
3. Gently Tamed
4. Rat Pain
5. Once A Broken Human
6. Amor Frio (appeared on El Bien)
7. Which Came First
8. Your Own Worst Enemy
9. Solving This Again
10. Broken (Reprise)

Which solo album(s) did everyone grab?

 

I'm not into vinyl, so none haha

 

I owned Buffalo on vinyl for about 10 years and never played it once

 

ok but wtf is Your Own Worst Enemy? Not even remotely close to what I was expecting
