Details: Amazon.ca John Frusciante's first two solo efforts, 1995's Niandra Ladies And Just A T-shirt and 1997's Smile From The Streets You Hold, are obscurities, but To Record Only Water For Ten Days--a title that presumably refers to the artistic strictures involved in such a project--is likely to receive a much higher profile. He is, after all, the guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. That said, his third solo album is a relatively stripped-back affair, not far removed from a bunch of demo recordings. Taking the idea of ​​a solo album literally, Frusciante is responsible for everything here, playing guitar over drum machines and adding occasional keyboards to the 15 songs, presumably hoping to emulate Bill Callahan's excellent Smog. Opener "Going Inside" promises to make this an entertaining ride, given its typically incandescent fretwork, but the project soon becomes a little one-dimensional, hampered by Frusciante's sub-J Mascis yelp. --Mike Pattenden Product description Full title 'To Record Only Water For Ten Days'. Japanese edition of The Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist's third solo album. The album is self produced, with words and music by John. Includes one bonus track, 'Resolution'. 2001 release. Standard jewel case.
