The Mars Volta "Sarcophagi" Session Outtakes

00:00 Main Riff
12:37 Acoustic Overdubs
20:01 Slide Guitar Overdubs
24:41 Guitar Solos
27:42 Vocals
Sourced from the Pro Tools session, which leaked on OiNK in 2007. The audio files are still circulating in wma format though the session file was lost. Hear Omar lose his mind with the main riff and Cedric talk shit in-between takes. The Sarcophagi mix uploaded by Kascadodream ( • Video ) was made out of these files. The Pro Tools session for Miranda leaked aswell, but was too large for most people to download at the time. Only a fan-made acoustic version created from its stems can still be found: • The Mars Volta - Miran...

The recordings show 48 mins for something only played 48 seconds on. Amazing.
I love Frances the Mute

[@TheFreeshooter]

I just appreciate being to hear omar as it he goest through attempting to put together what was only about roughly 45 seconds but 45 seconds that had as much soul as some of the titanic pieces not only on Frances but the rest of the discography

"God Damnit!"
He is human.

[@dodgernorth2500]

The fact it took 48 minutes to nail one small intro for an absolute titan of a song shows me that it takes time, lots of time to create something magical and amazing. That’s something I really needed.

[@opiumaddict6362]

[@aidanlavoie]

cathartic, hearing my heroes be human

[@growskull]

[@TRAVXIZ614]

hearing Cedric get sooooo close to that melody just lets me know that we ALL go through it at one point or another as musicians
also, Cedric burp at 33:51

[@felipebenavides7886]

Thanks

[@gabrielbarrera3835]

Do you think that “hey John” was for Frusciante??

[@n.senada]

That was almost certainly directed at Omar's personal recording engineer Jon Debaun.

[@darrenbrooks9469]

Thank you...

[@QwQ-qwq]

Amazing!

[@esellwan]

GOD DAMMIT

[@camilodelpelo7686]

[@tresojos]

same bro lol used to listen every night before sleeping to at least 1 entire album

[@king0l23]

Are you being literal?

[@aindatenhoconta]

So Sarcophagi is a homage to Lupicínio Rodrigues' Hino do Grêmio

[@bad_teeth]

I think 28:59 is the take they ended up using? Ive been trying to discern it

[@PlantaLover69]

29:21 maybe this

[@breakbeat_hardcore]
