Omar Rodriguez Lopez & John Frusciante


(7)

The first record that features the duo (Omar from The Mars Volta and John from the Chili Peppers) exclusively. It came out this week as a free download. The album is basically an instrumental that comes off as a study of the guitar.

If you listen closely, and are familiar with each mans previous body of work, you can tell who wrote what part of the song and who's playing what guitar. Both of them put their own style into the songs are are evenly distributed evenly. Effects are used extensively. If you've ever been up close at a Volta show, you've noticed that Omar must have 20 different effects peddles at his feet. A very smooth and thick sound, good both fans of both bands.

Highlights are ZIM and 0

Sounds Like
An even mix of Omar and John and their love of the guitar
