JOHN FRUSCIANTE The Empyrean (2009 UK 10-track CD album - The enigmatic singer songwriter & producer John Frusciante, best known as guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, delivers his 11th solo album 'The Empyrean'. 'The Empyrean' was recorded on and off between December 2006 and March 2008. It is a concept record that tells a single story both musically and lyrically. The story takes place within one person, and there are two characters. It contains a version of Tim Buckley's 'Song To The Siren' and the rest of the songs are written by me. My friend Josh plays on it, as does Flea. It also features Sonus Quartet, Johnny Marr and The New Dimension Singers. I'm really happy with it and I've listened to it a lot for the psychedelic experience it provides. It should be played as loud as possible and it is suited to dark living rooms late at night. - John Frusciante.)
