Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reportedly constructed from riffs originally intended for The Mars Volta's 'Amputechture' album, this instrumental solo record from the virtuoso guitarist is a manic, highly complex explosion of progressive rock. Exploring dizzying time signatures and dense layers of psychedelic effects, it serves as a brilliant showcase of his unhinged compositional style and staggering instrumental prowess.
