A Sphere in the Heart of Silence



This album, the next to last of the six albums serie, is entirely made of raw electronic music. It's as far of a Red Hot's record as Frusciante has made.
This is also the first record which was realeased under the name of John Frusciante/Josh Klinghoffer, as Josh Klinghoffer is, on this album more than a guest appareance; he has entirely written two songs 'At Your Enemies' & 'Surrogate People' (except John's vocal part on this last) and sings on most of the song with John Frusciante (except the much beautiful 'My life'). He even sings alone on two songs: 'Communique' and 'At Your Ennemies'.
The voice of Josh Klinghoffer is perfect along John Frusciante's. We can even say that the two voices complement each other.

'Sphere', the first song which is an instrumental one, was supposed to last more than 30 minutes but was shortened to be put on a record.
The song 'Walls' was played in performance 8 (which was one show of the ten 'performances' serie, where John Frusciante and Josh Klinghoffer played mostly electronic music). There is even an amateur video of it on youtube, here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqJgQ2tgwAM, where we can see the demo of this song. John Frusciante danses and does abstract vocals while Josh Klinghoffer plays drums and some electronic music. There is also the song 'The Days Have Turned' at the end of this performance, which lasts nearly 15 minutes).

A Sphere in the Heart of Silence is a real experience for a listener who has never listened electronic music before, but as we have seen on John's precedent records, all new music experiences are good with an artist like John Frusciante.
It also reveals all the creative power that Frusciante have; he can pass from indie rock to electronic music, without forgetting alternative rock, with an astounding ease, and always keeping interested his listeners. He is a real artist !

The Afterglow

Ahh !!
Ahh !!

All tonight ending now ending now !
All tonight ending now ending now !
All tonight ending now ending now !
On rebound !
Death before life
Death before life
Death before life
Death before life
Death before life
Death before life
You're in my place again
Echoes before us see now
You're in my wavelength
Sound would of means rectified
Sound would of means rectify!
Shadows casting all ways!
Who knows which way things is now?
I slept in images
Im so down beat on the bright
Im so down and make them a cry
Death before life
Death before life
Death before life
Death before life
Death before life
Death before life
I know that place again
You're in my loneliness speak now
I realised
I don't have my further to go
I don't have my further to go
The afterglow
The afterglow
The afterglow
The afterglow
The afterglow
The afterglow
Life only back when you're never be freezing ah ahh!
Life only back when you're never be freezing
Wouldn't pass it before you (ah ahh!)
Wouldn't pass it before you!
Down is my palce now
No place out there I have to be
Lost is where I am
And Im no reason to be found
To be found
From no sound to resound
From no sound to resound
From no sound to resound
From no sound to resound
From no sound to resound




Walls

Rain on your mind
If I'm so inclined
It's left you all
At there photo stall
One blast, my fast
So you wanna know, where youre gonna go?
So you wanna know, where youre gonna go
And all you want
To be is a God
You're safe as that
My friend go back
Of time, time
So you wanna know, where you're gonna go?
So you wanna know, where you're gonna go?
So you wanna know, where you're gonna go?
So you wanna know, where you're gonna go?
There's only death
And I say that yet
This life is a frontier of pain
Disgust, disgust
So you wanna know, where youre gonna go?(Walls)
So you wanna know, where youre gonna go(Walls)
So you wanna know, where youre gonna go?(Walls)
So you wanna know, where youre gonna go?(Walls)
Once I'm cornered, I can't center
I will go beyond
Plans to kill me seem to falter
I amnot my own
Eyes can't see me or the others
You do things our way
Extra meaning, truth won't free them
Not worth a thing I say
Hey




Communique

This is slow communique
This is slow communique
It's a show that I hope you know
My opposing say,
Why are we inside?
There are no rules
There are no rules
I will try to start a fire
I will try to start a fire
Just to show how well it burns
It's a breaking of commune
It's a breaking of commune
Just to show another way to go
You can never return
You can never return
It's a barrier for life before you learn
I can never return
I found an island, I found an island for you
This is slow communique
This is slow communique
It's a show that I hope you know
Swimming from the island

I will try ___ you know
You say we're running now
You say we're running now
You go to where you never know
I will try to start a fire
I will try to start a fire
Just to, Just to watch how it burns




At Your Enemies

Operate with full knowledge of
What will become of them
I surrounded a jail is sickening
God fear in man, who were there who were me
And open up your cares world
Let them at your enemies




Surrogate People

Surrogate People they walk on by, they walk on by
When they replace you
They live your life, they live your life
Surrogate People they walk on by, they walk on by
When they replace you
They live your life, they live your life
Surrogate People they walk on by, they walk on by
When they replace you
They steal your life, they steal your life




My Life

My life goes blank, my life goes blank
My life goes blank, my life goes blank
My life goes blank
Life was never what you thought.
Life was never what you saw
Life was never what you saw
The lights go out
The lights go out
The lights go out
The lights go out
The lights go out
The lights go out
Life was never what you thought
Life was never what you thought
Life was never what you thought
