Send to a FriendCalibration (is Pushing Luck and Key Too Far) is the debut rock/electronic fueled solo record from Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. The CD, LP and digital download has been released on December 15, 2007 in Japan and in February 5, 2008 in the US and UK & Europe through N20 Records an underground American indie label known for hard hitting drum and bass, J-Pop, J-Rock, rockstar turntablism, metal jungle, west coast hip hop, reggae and dubstep.

The "Calibration" album found a home after Mars Volta bassist Juan Alderete linked up Omar and longtime friend Nate "N8loc" Shimizu of N2O Records. "We both are into hard drum breaks, heavy electronic music and pressing records old school analog style, on all kinds of rare dope colored vinyl. Omar's concept of the 2 part album is an original artistic piece that fit perfectly into the sound we've been breaking. Look out for some all-star producers and artists on the 2 albums," says Shimizu.
To complete the original album, the cover art was created by renowned San Francisco graffiti artist GREY, a childhood friend of Rodriguez-Lopez. An exciting "luck and key pushing" follow-up album featuring remixes of songs from the album will be released later in 2008 featuring Omar's friends and artists from the N2O Records roster.
