now i have it all! 5 albums are already out this year, in january 05 the Curtains album comes out.
what an artist. 6 albums in 6 months.
i fucking love frusciante, im starting to like his music more than PJ's
i recommend listen to the brown bunny soundtrack, the ataxia recordings and shadows collide with people (edit: inside of emptiness is the best release yet) first if you're looking to get to know frusciante.
the first two albums were created when the man was fucked up on coke and whatnot so the music is a little hard on the ear,
although it is full of emotions, the singing and playing from those places in your mind like that.
it is very interesting to hear those 2 albums once or twice if you're a fan, get to know the story - but not wear it out too much.
every album since just became better than the last one. experimental sounds in the background and whatnot. you can hear him getting better and better each month. frusciante is a fuckin genious.
take a look at his website http://www.johnfrusciante.com , alot of interesting reads and a free internet album for download too.

And I was planning on getting the new ones but I think I have enough, I'd rather spend the money on other bands.

Inside of Emptiness - Bio by John Frusciante
"Inside Of Emptiness was made in Los Angeles by Josh Klinghoffer, engineer Ryan Hewitt and myself. My favorite records at the time, in terms of the production, were White Light/White Heat by Velvet Underground and Lust For Life by Iggy Pop.
just got Inside of Emptiness this morning. man im happy i did.
i thought to myself frusciante is gonna keep with the mellow quiet songs but this album fuckin rocks. he never seizes to amaze me, everytime something new.
this album sounds really great from the 2-3 listens i gave it already, far better than Shadows Collide & Will To Death. riffs and solos, rockin beats - highly recommended, frusciante is just getting better each month

i just obtained a bunch of these based partly on this thread and they are awesome, much better than i honestly expected. this whole 6 album thing is awesome he should do it every two years or so if he can sustain the quality

He's probably my favourite musician of all time. He releases great albums monthly while the rest takes years. I have a lot to say about how great he is but I think I'd scare you all.

A Sphere in The Heart Of Silence 2004 Record Collection
In Stores November 23rd 2004
A Sphere In The Heart Of Silence is the fifth release in the series of at least six solo albums by John Frusciante.
The sixth album, "Curtains", will be released on January 25th 2005.
A Sphere In The Heart Of Silence - Bio by John
"A Sphere In The Heart Of Silence is a record of electronic music made by Josh Klinghoffer and myself. After a few months making raw and/or stripped down music we decided to go back to making more layered, richly textured electronic music. It was still recorded as if it were 1970, but with modern electronic instruments that didn’t exist back then.
The first song “Sphere” was originally made to be performed live at Performance One, the first in a series of ten individually conceptualized shows consisting largely of experimental music. It has been shortened to a cozy 10 minutes for the purpose of fitting into a record. The original version, as it was performed at Performance One, was thirty minutes long.
The second song “The Afterglow” dates from the time of the songs on Shadows Collide With People. Half of these songs were originally intended to be part of Shadows but we decided to let Shadows center around my more songwriter-type songs and save our more experimental collaborative stuff for this album. On “The Afterglow” Josh wrote and played all the music and I wrote a vocal over his original 8-track recording. It’s fun singing over such tripped out layered music. Two basses and two guitars.
The basis of “Walls” was programmed in about 15 minutes the morning of Performance Five when we opened for Blonde Redhead in Pomona. I danced and did abstract vocal effects that night, but when we recorded it I wrote a proper vocal (literally written while the drum machine was going to tape). This song journeys from the past to the future and back.
“Communique” was originally performed at Performance Two at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood. This is one of those recordings so rare in today’s world that took as long to record as it takes to listen to. Josh sang and played piano while I made noise on my modular synthesizer and there were no edits.
“At Your Enemies” and “Surrogate People” were both from the time of Shadows. They are both written by Josh with the exception of my vocals on “Surrogate People”. We were discovering so much about making electronic music back then and albums like Amnesiac, Vespertine and Confield were all coming out at that time which were opening our minds to the infinite possibilities of that realm.
The last song is called “My Life”. It was originally performed at Performance Four. Like “Communique”, “My Life” was recorded in real time. The footsteps at the end are me going back to the control room.
My friendship with Josh is something I’m very blessed to have. To have experienced so much closeness through hearing music together as well as playing music together is one of the main things that has given meaning to my life.
Thank you for listening. More to come."
