Omar Rodriguez-Lopez is known to many as one of the creative minds behind experimental rock band The Mars Volta.

The melodic songs present a journey across countries and genres, where influences mesh to form the specific sound of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. This uncommon collaboration has certainly proven useful.
