The Empyrean

Defined as "The highest reaches of heaven, believed by the ancients to be a realm of pure fire or light." and " The abode of God and the angels; paradise. ", the word empyrean only seems suiting when used as the title for John Frusciante's 10th solo album.

Best known for his stunning guitar skills displayed on many of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' masterpieces, John also has an amazing solo career. While John is known for shredding guitar, he gets help from his close friends for the recording of bass and drum, namely his band mate Flea and close friend Josh Klinghoffer... oh, and Johnny Marr. Jesus

January 20th 2009; not only the American presidential inauguration day, but also the day that John Frusciante releases one of the better albums to ever be recorded.

Now, I may or may not have come across a leaked version on the internet.

This album may or may not be one of the better collection of sounds my ears have been graced with.

Anyone who is the slightest bit interested should most definitely look into the above mentioned album and most other John Frusciante albums (mainly To Record Only Water for Ten Days).
