Formed by Cedric Bixler and Omar Rodriguez from the ashes of their previous band At the Drive-In, the Mars Volta takes a dizzying journey to hell and back on this colorfully titled album, traveling inside the mind of a man who attempted suicide but went into a week-long coma before ultimately choosing death. As one might expect the ride is intense and at times disturbing. Galloping bass by Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) provides the rocky foundation for exploratory psychedelic guitar experimentation and keyboard soundscapes that paint an aural picture of madness.
The centerpiece of DE-LOUSED IN THE COMATORIUM is the 12-minute plus "Cicatriz Esp." Its long, ambient middle section lulls you into a nervous calm before breaking out into a Santana-esque jam. Take care, though; trying to interpret the lyrics, or song titles ("Eriatarka") for that matter, in a literal sense will undoubtedly place you in the same deep psychic void as the subject. In an era where cookie-cutter bands pretending to be angry at life are the norm, the Mars Volta is a shining example of originality and talent.
UK edition of 2003 debut album includes the bonus track 'Ambuletz'. Universal.
Recorded at the Mansion, Los Angeles, California.

The Mars Volta: Cedric Bixler (vocals); Omar Rodriguez (guitar); Jon Theodore, Jeremy Michael Ward, Flea, Ikey Isaih Owens.

De-Loused In The Comatorium songs
$13.15
Dannii MInogue's NEON NIGHTS contains the hits "Put the Needle On It" and "Who Do You Love Now." The disc comes with enhanced features comprising videos and a photo gallery.
There's something about those Minogue sisters. No matter how many times they seem to be down for the count, a surprise comeback hit is always just around the corner. Dannii has never quite achieved the level of superstardom that sister Kylie has attained, but she has shown equal tenacity. Released in 1997, Girl may have been a commercial failure, but it succeeded in repositioning her as a sophisticated club artist rather than a B-list pop singer. That album caught on in the burgeoning trance scene of the mid-'90s, and Neon Nights partially follows that trend into the 2000s on tracks such as "Who Do You Love Now?," the out-of-nowhere comeback collaboration with Riva that gave Dannii the biggest hit of her career. However, Neon Nights is a more varied collection, ...

Back in 2001 Scott Mercado was finished with college, a tour, a band, a job and his old house - he needed to vent. Jobless and bored, he found solace in front of his drums with a crazy old Nakamichi stereo tape recorder at his side. After recording a few drum tracks, he slipped them into a crotchety old computer and out came twenty songs that would fuel his newfound addiction for bedroom recording. Manuok was born.A couple of computer jobs, credit cards, houses, bands and tours later--- Mercado is seeing his bedroom recordings from a different angle. Manuok is evolving into a whole new monster for its master and providing an outlet for this new self-titled record, a film soundtrack, and studio work for The Album Leaf, The Dropscience and Pilotram. Even outside all these Manuok happenings, Mercado is an exceptionally busy man. His other band, Via Satellite, released their third album, Cities Are Temples, nationally on Loud and Clear Records on Feb. 1, 2005. Mercado is currently recording ...
