    • Cygnus… Vismund Cygnus (from 2005’s Frances the Mute) The song opens so quietly, so blanketed in top-end, that, back in 2005, you probably thought FYE sold you a defective copy – or that maybe your six-disc changer was on the fritz.
    • Tetragrammaton (from 2006’s Amputechture) Bixler-Zavala left behind long-form concepts – at least briefly – with the Mars Volta’s third LP.
