In charge of is one Ximena Sariñana who I hadn't heard of before listening to this album. She's from Mexico, I read. Her career started from telenovelas and then she continued acting in feature films. But after her successful 2008 CD debut, Mediocre (with a great cover), she's now one of Mexico's most famous singers. I don't, however, find much in her singing here in this context. She presents a girlish voice, nothing more. Her voice, of course, is a conscious style choice, as the CD is obviously meant to attract a rather young audience (is she Omar's girl-friend?). Omar plays the acoustic guitar most of the time. And when he grabs the electric guitar, he overdubs the acoustic, adding slightly psychedelic effects. And there's an acoustic bass played by Aaron Cruz Bravo. All the tracks are slow, with sparse instrumentation. Kind of Neo-folk sung in Spanish. The post-Grunge generation may learn to get used to the Quiet with this relaxed collection of songs.
　　It's a release that doesn't hurt. But it also doesn't exactly thrill.
　　Ciencia de los Inutiles is the brand new 2010 release from tone scientist Omar Rodriguez Lopez. Included on this recording is Ximena Sarinana (vocals), Aaron Cruz (Contrabass) and Omar Rodriguez Lopez (guitars). This is a very beautiful record that shows a softer and more delicate side to Omar Rodriguez Lopez’ ever expanding massive body of solo works. Previous solo albums from Omar have shown layers upon layers of dense and ever shifting sounds merging and coalescing to create a true sonic explosion of emotions. Ciencia de los Inutiles is much more acoustic and much more traditional than anything Omar has released. With very few moments including electric components, Ciencia de los Inutiles is as important of a record as Deloused in the Comatorium or any other pivotal work in Omars catalogue. Now all those who claim Omar has hid behind effects or a large stage performance profile can now marvel in the true beauty of Omars music if one hasn’t already. I didn’t see this type of record coming, and that is one thing I respect a great deal about Omar Rodriguez, you never know where his next record will take you. Even with the minimal state of instruments, the album is still a very emotionally dense album and is loaded with lots of texture and color. This time around the space in between the notes and the sounds that arn’t there takes more affect on the entirety of the record, an aspect of music that brings out some of the most beautiful interplay between musicians. Rodriguez Lopez Productions has the album for digital download as well as a live stream, the live stream has been included here on this page as well. Click on the link above to go to the catalogue section if you would like high quality mp3’s of this release. I recommend listening to Viernes if you only decide to sample one song, its gorgeous on so many levels. My favorite track is Sabado, a piece that leans more towards Middle Eastern influences than anything he has released. I’ve listened to a lot of Hermeto Pascoal and Flora Purim records lately and the grace and beauty on this album fits in more so with those musicians albums than anything I have heard from Omar in the past, outside of small glimpses of course. This is a record that more than speaks for itself, give it a listen and find out why! – Erik Otis
