    Omar Rodríguez-López − guitars
    Ximena Sariñana Rivera − vocals, Rhodes
    Aaron Cruz Bravo − double bass

I have all The Mars Volta albums and some Omar Rodriguez Lopez works as well. Because I think the band itself is one of most interesting progressive acts form last decade. Omar solo albums are a bit different story, but some of them are quite similar to TMV music. Another are more different, with some trips to different genres. But almost often they are interesting, especially if you're TMV fan.

This fresh album is most unusual Omar solo work I ever heard. Yes, it is "El Trio" work, not Omar solo album. And you will easily will fill the difference. Ximena Sariñana is Mexican singer (and Omar girlfriend), she participated in some Omar previous solo albums, and I liked her voice and the music was played there.

On his album she is a singer. Omar Rodriguez-Lopez plays acoustic guitar. Aaron Cruz plays bass. All three of them are "El Trio de Omar Rodriguez-Lopez". The music is minimalistic simple acoustic ballades with slight Latin scent. It's all.

Ximena Sariñana's voice is pleasant, but has no big possibilities to show its abilities. Omar plays so simple guitar music you can hardly hear street musicians play in your town. Melodies are all pleasant, but not too different. No drums or even percussion presented. Happily, there is some warm and slightly sad atmosphere in all album. It's all!

Possibly, the best name for this music is amateurish folk, but it depends on point of view. With respect to Omar's figure ,this music could be named minimalistic avant-garde as well. ---snobb, progarchives.com

Omar Rodriguez Lopez - Tychozorente (2010)

03 La Paradoja Divina				play
04 Contra Suspiros				play
05 El Todo
06 Piedras Y Ansiedad
07 El Ritual Como Fin En Si Mismo
08 Consecuencias

Personnel:
    Ximena Sariñana Rivera – Vocals, Lyrics
    Omar Rodríguez-López – Sequences, Programming, Synths, Xylophone, Voice
    Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez – Mellotron
    Elvin Estela – Programming,  Bass

Tychozorente is one of three albums Mars Volta guitarist and musical polymath Omar Rodriguez-Lopez issued under his own name in 2010. To add to this rather prolific output, he also issued a self-titled duet album with Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante, Ciencia de los Inutiles by El Trio de Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, and Sepulcros de Miel with the Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Quartet. Others may have issued more records in a single year (Madlib comes to mind), but none has approached this kind of diversity. Tychozorente is one of Rodriguez-Lopez's most unusual offerings because he plays no guitar; instead he contributes sequencers, programming, synths, and xylophone. Elvin Estela helps with production and programming and plays bass. Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez plays Mellotron. Vocals are provided by Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter and actress Ximena Sarińana Rivera -- a frequent collaborator. Clocking in at just over 31 minutes, this eight-song collection is moody, atmospheric, sensual, cinematic, and sometimes foreboding. Standout tracks include "Polardidad" with its xylophone and Mellotron. The cut opens slowly, hesitantly, providing a set of rhythms approaching Les Baxter's more exotic moments -- without all the other instrumental bluster. When Sarińana Rivera enters, the track moves toward something wholly other, like a Spanish-language love song from outer space. The insistent, crunchy programmed rhythm track on "Piedras y Ansiedad" creates a sense of drama before she sings -- in English this time -- and the rhythm track then takes a club, four-to-the-floor direction. Given the song's pop melody, it's easy to see why she was nominated for Grammys. Ultimately, the hardcore Rodriguez-Lopez guitar freak fans may scratch their heads and pass on this, but it's their loss if they do. The songwriting is top-notch, the arrangements and production are stellar, and the performances are inspired. It all adds up to Tychozorente being one of the most bewitching records in Rodriguez-Lopez's already formidable catalog. --- Thom Jurek, AMG
