Calibration (Is Pushing Luck And Key Too Far), con Cedric, Juan, Thomas, John Frusciante e altri, 5° lp, 2007

On another important note, a gigante welcome and thanks to all the Omar Rodriguez Lopez and Mars Volta fans becoming aware of our little label. A new interview will be published in Japanese loud rock magazine and friends Grindhouse Magazine. They have done a lot to help us out and expose our music to Japanese fans. The street date will be very close to December 30, 2007, just after the release date of the "Calibration" cd in Japan. We will keep you all updated, I hear they have alot of good photos of Omar as well. We'll try to translate the interview once it's published.

Calibration (is Pushing Luck and Key Too Far) is the forthcoming debut rock/electronic fueled solo record from Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. The CD, LP and digital download is set to be released on December 15, 2007 in Japan and in February-March 2008 in the US and UK & Europe through N20 Records an underground American indie label known for hard hitting drum and bass, J-pop, rockstar turntablism, metal jungle, west coast hip hop, reggae and dubstep.

The "Calibration" album found a home after Mars Volta bassist Juan Alderete linked up Omar and longtime friend Nate "N8loc" Shimizu of N2O Records. "We both are into hard drum breaks, heavy electronic music and pressing records old school analog style, on all kinds of rare dope colored vinyl. Omar's concept of the 2 part album is an original artistic piece that fit perfectly into the sound we've been breaking. Look out for some all-star producers and artists on the 2 albums," says Shimizu.

To complete the original album, the cover art was created by renowned San Francisco graffiti artist GREY, a childhood friend of Rodriguez-Lopez. An exciting "luck and key pushing" follow-up album featuring remixes of songs from the album will be released later in 2008 featuring Omar's friends and artists from the N2O Records roster.

Il tuo ragionamento è giusto, peccato che nè per il bisonte, nè per l'apocalisse nell'arancia lo abbiano fatto.
Non bastava mettere i brani sul myspace della deimos o di omar?

No però mi sembra che questo disco sia leggermente più pubblicizzato (mi si conceda il termine) degli altri.
Cioè sembra che Omar conti molto su questo disco.

è la label.
