The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute Question!
Alright, so I bought Frances the Mute the other day b/c it was on sale for less than $10. According to the tracklisting on the back cover, there should be 15 tracks:
Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus 1 Sarcophagi 2 Umbilical Syllables 3 Facilis Descenus Averni 4 Con Safo 5 The Widow 6 L'Via L'Viaquez Miranda that Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore 7 Vade Mecum 8 Pour Another Icepick 9 Pisacis (Phra-men-ma) 10 Con Safo Cassandra Gemini 11 Tarantism 12 Plant a Nail in the Navel Stream 13 Faminepulse 14 Multiple Spouse Wounds 15 Sarcophagi So when I stick it in my computer to rip it, only the first 12 tracks show up! Additionally, when looking up the album info on allmusic.com, it lists the titles for all 15 tracks, but the play length, again, for only the first 12. There's not a 2nd disc. Anyone know what's up w/ that?

Also, on the inside, behind the CD holding snap-in part, it lists lyrics to Frances the Mute, presumably another group of tracks, titled "In Thirteen Seconds", "Nineteen Sank, While Six Would Swim", and "Five Would Grow and One Was Dead". I'm so fucking confused!

Allow me to answer all your questions regarding the Mars Volta:
1) track 1: Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus -Sarcophagi -Umbilical Syllables -Facilis Descenus Averni -Con Safo Track 2: The Widow Track 3: L'Via L'Viaquez Track 4: Miranda that Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore -Vade Mecum -Pour Another Icepick -Pisacis (Phra-men-ma) -Con Safo Tracks 5-12:Cassandra Gemini -Tarantism -Plant a Nail in the Navel Stream -Faminepulse -Multiple Spouse Wounds -Sarcophagi In total, Cassandra is about 32 minutes long. Those are movements in the songs. 2) Thats the Francis the Mute single's lyrics. It's a seperate 'decoder' single. It's supposed to complete the story or something. Either way, it's a vinyl thing that isn't scheduled for release in the US yet. |

alright, thanks Said Eyes.... but, how does the 5 movements of Cassandra Gemini make up 8 tracks on the CD? Doing the math, it seems like it'd be possible that either every movement of either Cygnus or Miranda would be a track, but not both.
Such that: Cygnus (1-4) Widow (5) L'Via (6) Miranda (7) Cassandra (8-12) or Cygnus (1) Widow(2) L'Via (3) Miranda (4-7) Cassandra (8-12)

Short answer: They don't.
If you take Cassandra to be the last 8 tracks, or 32 minutes, 27 seconds, you can listen to it and see where the movements come in. How about I go through the entire CD with where I think the movements are. (Times may be a second or two out, I dont know) Code:

well, thanks for all your help man, i think i'll go w/ that explanation there, it seems about as good as any i'd receive w/o actually going thru & listening intently to every last minute (as opposed to for enjoyment). thanks a bunch!
I love these track titles, 6-11! 6 Cassandra Geminni: Plant the Nail in the Navel Stream, Pt. 1 7 Cassandra Geminni: Plant the Nail in the Navel Stream, Pt. 2 8 Cassandra Geminni: Plant the Nail in the Navel Stream, Pt. 3/Faminepulse, Pt. 1 9 Cassandra Geminni: Faminepulse, Pt. 2 10 Cassandra Geminni: Faminepulse, Pt. 3/Multiple Spouse Wounds, Pt. 1 11 Cassandra Geminni: Multiple Spouse Wounds, Pt. 2
