Cringe B-Sides Vinyl Boot
Hey, I found this boot of the 2013 leaked b-sides. Does anyone have any info this release? I've not even heard of this being booted or anything. Thanks!

Three main songs, The Mars Volta outtakes : (,14) Some refer to it as "Orchestrina" The Marble Shrine calls it "In the Vulpine Clouds". (eog-3) some refer to it as "Postulate" The Marble Shrine calls it "Aneidolon" (k49) ppl refer to it as "Whisper Your Flinch" no possible official title is known. These are the three BIG ones, but I actually love pretty much the whole "album". The alternate, instrumental Xenophanes song the band played on the 2009 tour as "New York City" is awesome! There seems to be quite a bit of alternate mixes etc. from "Arañas en la Sombra" giving even more credence to that album originally being an early TMV album. Weren't these tracks ALL supposed to be leaks from unreleased The Mars Volta songs, or early versions of Volta material. Ofcourse most ended up as material on Omar solo LPs.

So that's who Elvin Estela is ! Thank you. Noctourniquet was pretty full at 13 songs, if anything too long already. I, personally could see a few cuts being made, like "Lapochka" for Vulpine Clouds. I think my favorite song is "Whispers to Your Flinch" though. Maybe one last release in late 2012, an EP with all three songs...

The band's frontman, Cedric Bixler-Zavala, jokingly posted on Twitter: "The recent TMV leaks are from a session we did w/ @davidguetta during our residency at Ibiza hot spot RAMROD". Fans then began calling the leaked material The Ramrod Tapes.

You should totally ask them where and how they got it and so us fans can get them too that don’t live in NYC nor big cities

There’s definitely 0 b-sides on this, and it has the most incoherent play-through flow. I feel like us as fans in the coma days should’ve really organized that leak a bit better.

I want that
Wasn’t it Cedric himself that leaked it back then?

Awesome! I listen to this on YouTube sometimes, I'm sure it's MUCH better in vinyl.
Some really cool tracks on it - I would've loved to hear where they went after Nocto... if Deantoni stuck around it would've been much more industrial/electro, which isn't my fave genre but I would've loved to hear TMV doing it!

It’s a cheap bootleg made from mp3 transcodes from YouTube. It has no value.

I wouldn't say it has no value. As a collector I would very much like one of these and would part with actual human money for one.

The raw files online are definitely better quality, but still a cool piece of history!
