{"product_id":"the-mars-volta-amputechture","title":"AMPUTECHTURE","description":"Personnel: John Frusciante (guitar); Sara Christina Gross (saxophone).\nAudio Mixer: Rich Costey.\nRecording information: El Paso, TX; Los Angeles, CA; Melbourne, Australia.\nDirector: Omar Rodriguez-Lopez.\nArranger: Omar Rodriguez-Lopez.\nOn its third full-length album, the Mars Volta abandoned the enigmatic conceptual themes of its acclaimed earlier outings, DE-LOUSED IN THE COMATORIUM and FRANCES THE MUTE, but left its fascinatingly bizarre aesthetic intact. The result is a more immediate, though certainly not more conventional, approach, as vocalist Cedric Bixler Zavala and guitarist Omar A. Rodriguez-Lopez once again take listeners on a tour of surreal rock territory where the sounds of King Crimson, Santana, and Led Zeppelin are welded together into frenetic post-punk-influenced aural sculptures. Featuring significant contributions by multi-instrumentalist Pablo Hinojos-Gonzalez and frequent guest guitarist John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, AMPUTECHTURE is slightly less daunting than Volta's previous discs (see the stomping, horn-laden \"Viscera Eyes\"), but no less inventive.","brand":"The Mars Volta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44588470501609,"sku":"0F9PKR-IJA6-00","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/the-mars-volta-amputechture_oL5BR.jpg?v=1742358957","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/the-mars-volta-amputechture","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
