Landscape Tantrums - Unfinished Original Recordings Of De-Loused In The Comatorium

Lost for two decades, the recent rediscovery of 'Landscape Tantrums' the first attempt at recording the music that would become The Mars Volta's 'De-Loused in the Comatorium' (2003) revealed an important and hitherto missing chapter in the group's evolution. Self-recorded by Omar (assisted by Jon DeBaun) at Burbank's Mad Dog Studios within a head spinning four days, 'Landscape Tantrums' captures 'De-Loused' in somewhat embryonic form, though much of what would make The Mars Volta's debut album such an electrifying, sublime experience was already in place: the fearless invention, the fusion of futurist rock elements and traditions from outside of the rock orthodoxy, the sense of virtuosity working in service of emotional effect.
