His second release of 2009, Xenophanes surprisingly finds Omar in a far more traditional, refined approach as the album travels quickly through an energetic, uplifting frame of rock that seemed far beyond the grasp or attention span of this particular artist. He's even managed to finally find an appropriate setting for that long list of effects his music has become so accustomed to in the length of his career, with strange, sweeping pulses, and whirring, vibrating electronics providing a nice undercurrent, never crowding or overpowering the compositions. Also featured on the album is Latin singer/songwriter Ximena Sariñana, providing backing vocals and appearing on the long awaited studio version of "Flores De Cizaña".
Xenophanes is another much welcome breath of fresh air in Rodriguez Lopez's very extensive catalog, and brings with it, for the first time, not a single undesirable moment.
