In Parts Assembled Solely is the fourth EP by Spahn Ranch, released on May 21, 1996, by Cleopatra Records. It comprises six remixes and four live versions of tracks from the band's 1995 album The Coiled One.
Reception In his review of In Parts Assembled Solely, Jon Worley of Aiding & Abetting noted that "the only remix that outdoes the original is the first track" and "the live tracks prove that Spahn Ranch can play live, I guess, but they are completely redundant." CMJ New Music Monthly listed the EP as the top "Family Album", which offers a list of releases to listen to with one's relatives. Sonic Boom pointed to the live tracks as being the highlight of the album, saying "the sound quality isn't all that great, yet the live tracks have a raw emotional context to them which they lack in the studio versions."
