Frances the Mute

~ Release by The Mars Volta (see all versions of this release, 13 available)

Annotation

There are only two Frances the Mute entries. One with five tracks, and one with 12 with the last 8 labeled as Cassandra Gemini I, Cassandra Gemini II, etc. ("Cassandra Gemini" is misspelled on the CD as "Cassandra Geminni". See the official spelling on the TMV site: http://www.themarsvolta.com/albums). The movements listed for Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore (A. Vade Mecum, B. Pour Another Icepick, etc.) and Cassandra Gemini (A. Tarantism, B. Plant a Nail in the Navel Stream, etc.) do not correlate with the actual tracks on the CD. The only reason for the song Cassandra Gemini being split like this is because if they did not, this album would technically be considered an EP.
