This CD is in mono. The original vinyl release is in stereo. When this was first released digitally on bandcamp, it was the mono version which was quickly replaced by the stereo version--Sargent House said the mono version was released erroneously. The stereo version of this (vinyl or flac files) sounds much better--very immersive. It's disappointing they released this CD as mono, but since it came out two years after the initial release, I suppose it was intentional. I don't know if the Japanese CD and the vinyl reissue are stereo or mono.

This an amazing album. A bit experimental but mostly free forming guitar playing. Very psychedelic to say the least. My only disappointment is that is under 40 minutes playing time. I wish these two guitar weirdos would produce another album together. Possibly with a bass, drum and organ too.

Two intricate stone bookends hold 7 bound volumes - a strange tome of fantasy. One bookend is 'OMAR' arms crossed at his chest and leaning on a battle axe. The other is 'JOHN' sitting with fingers interlocked and thumbs on chin. A battle axe rests across his knees. As your ears pull these books from the shelf, you take flight on the back of an ancient fire breathing dragon across saturated, jagged landscapes. Witness the dawn on a world other than Earth. This record is a straight up BANGER - start to finish!!! 10/10

metaphor and fantasy, dude --- for me, these tunes exist in that realm. listening to this album is almost a visual experience... (btw - I don't smoke)

keep on smoking dude, you had me lost at the bookends.

You can get this new for $11.99 on the hellomerch.com site don't get ripped off on here.

Unfortunately, this merchant, perhaps due to legal reasons, currently does not offer any solo releases by Omar Rodríguez-López.

Anyone else have bad luck with their LP? The inner sleeve on mine was split down on both sides right out of the shrink wrap.

Yes, that issue appears to exist with many copies of this release.

Reissue poorly pressed or just my bad luck?
