Dang! Cedric just posted a funny photo about singing the entirely of Cassandra Gemini when washing your hands
Was finished and shelves for ATDI. Cedric claimed it was gonna get a release but I don’t think we’ll ever see it
this would have blown my mind a decade ago - maybe even 5 years ago now, if this is true, it’s kinda of a disappointment :(
can't believe it took fucking Kanye West to remind me of how much I loved Deloused and Frances back in the day. Just ran through both of them again and wow, i have so much more appreciation for these records now than I did when I was in high school
Yup, they’re mindblowingly brilliant. Anyone ever give the side projects a listen? Curious what the best Mars Volta-adjacent records are like.
Omar’s Cryptomnesia album is like Volta but with a dash of PCP. Omar’s solo albums vary greatly but a lot of the early stuff is very Volta-esque and even sometimes features Cedric
Mostly curious about the stuff that isn’t Sparta or ATDI (or ANTEMASQUE, which I never fell in love with). Omar’s got TOOOONS of material so I needed some direction on that. Guess I’ll start with the albums y’all name dropped and work from there
Ahhh that’s dope. Cedric claims every few months or so that it will get released but I doubt it. I’m sure it’s worth a release solely on the basis of having Travis Barker promote it but whatever
