MARS VOLTA - Frances The Mute 3LP

Exclusive Clouds Hill edition - remastered for black vinyl using the original mixes.

Includes etched F side.

A considerably more complex and ambitious album than its predecessor – four of its five tracks lasted over ten minutes in length – FRANCES THE MUTE wasn’t recorded “live” by an ensemble, but with the individual musicians recording the parts Omar had scripted for them separately. Being much more than just a ‘DE-LOUSED Part Two’, the album thrills with its lush sound, the depth of detail, breadth of instrumentation and its fevered intensity.
