[edit] Production
It is one of four albums written and recorded by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez whilst living in Amsterdam in November 2005. Se Dice Bisonte, No Búfalo was conceived simultaneously to The Mars Volta's Amputechture and Omar’s soundtrack to the Jorge Hernandez Aldana film, El Búfalo de la Noche; which is where the title for Se Dice Bisonte, No Bùfalo originates. Omar expressed that this record is a response and expression of his feelings of the film, the soundtrack of which will feature The Mars Volta contributions. The album artwork is provided by longtime collaborator Damon Locks of The Eternals.
[edit] Content
Bisonte consists of 3 vocal tracks and 7 instrumentals, and also includes the original studio version of the song Please Heat This Eventually (without the vocals of Damo Suzuki). Omar performed the majority of the compositions solo, although the album also includes performances by The Mars Volta members Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez, Juan Alderete and Adrian Terrazas-Gonzales. It also features cameos by Money Mark, John Frusciante, and former Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore who appears on the final track, which was recorded while he was still a part of the group.
"Rapid Fire Tollbooth" eventually became a part of The Mars Volta's live set, and evolved into the song "Goliath" which appears on their studio album The Bedlam in Goliath.
