A Manual Dexterity: Soundtrack Volume One is the debut studio album by The Mars Volta guitarist Omar Rodríguez-López, mostly recorded in 2001 at Doug Messenger's Studio and Rodriguez-Lopez's mobile studio after the breakup of former band At the Drive-In. The record was finished at Mad Dog Studios in 2004 and released the same year. This was supposed to be the first volume of a two-part soundtrack set to go along to a film directed by Rodriguez-Lopez.

The release of Volume Two, which was originally planned for Spring of 2005, and the film itself were both delayed indefinitely due to legal problems. Conflicts over ownership of certain footage and Rodríguez-López's reluctance to revisit the project, which featured his late friend Jeremy Ward in the lead role, were both cited as reasons for the delay.[1] However, Rodríguez-López stated that he does intend to release both Volume Two and the film at some point in the future.

"Deus Ex Machina" is a version of a song "Reina de Mi Vida", written by Omar's father Angel Marcelo Rodriguez (also known as Marcelo Rod-Che) for the famous Puerto Rican salsa orchestra El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico; here, it is performed by Angel Marcelo himself.

A Manual Dexterity: Soundtrack Volume One es el primer álbum solista del guitarrista y compositor de The Mars Volta Omar Rodríguez-López, grabado en el año 2001, después de la ruptura de At the Drive-In, y publicado en 2004. Este disco es la primera de las dos partes de una banda sonora de una película dirigida por Omar Rodríguez. Debido a problemas legales, la segunda edición de esta banda sonora y el estreno de la película, que iban a ser ver la luz en la primavera de 2005, sufrieron un retraso indefinido, aunque Rodríguez expresó que tiene pensado publicar estos dos proyectos en el futuro.
