Before At The Drive-In recorded Relationship of Command (2000), they did the seven-song Vaya EP a year before. Here the band delves heavily into experimentation, adding psychedelic, jazz and dub influences to their post-hardcore noisy indie rock core sound. First song "Rascuache" features time changes, dub percussion and a bit of jazz tinge along its trademark guitar attack and Cedric Bixler-Zavala's passionate screams. "Ursa Minor" shows ATDI at their most angular with their dissonant heavy-duty guitar attacks with subtle electronics lurking underneath. There's still a bit of traditional punk/indie sound on this record and this record seems to hint at the creative tensions between Bixler-Zavala, guitarist Omar Rodriguez and the other members, the former favoring experimentation and eclectic arrangements contrasting the latter camp's straight-forward inclinations.
While musically the arrangements showcase an intelligent and inventive kind of a post-hardcore group and some of the songs like "198d" rank among the best melodic ATDI numbers, in retrospect one gets the feeling that a band as talented as ATDI never really managed to stabilize into a harmonious, self-sufficient unit. One can see why after Relationship of Command, ATDI would disband and split into Sparta and Mars Volta. Nonetheless, Vaya shows ATDI at their most daring and as such, the EP is a very impressive effort. (from: rateyourmusic.com)
Vinyl: NM. Stunning EP. this is an auction for a very rare pre- MARS VOLTA , At The Drive In White Vinyl EP. It has never been played although the shrink has been opened.
Sleeve: NM. Still in shrink. This also retains the original insert and has the original inner sleeve. The price stickers are on the shrink. The actual sleeve is untouched. This is a fantastic rarity, seldom seen these days as a limited white vinyl issue of the day.
International postage will incur an extra fee for tracking if over £30.00. Please wait for me to send you an adjusted invoice before paying. The tracked fee will be at actual Royal Mail grade. I do not profit from postage and actually undercharge.
Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly! PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again!!
