John Frusciantes eighth solo album, The Empyrean, is largely viewed as containing some of his best solo work. Released on January 20, 2009, the album marks the end of Frusciantes analog self-production, and rock-influenced approach to composing. The Empyrean was recorded intermittently between December 2006 and March 2008, and as a concept album, reflects a single narrative both musically and lyrically. Derived from Medieval Latin, the Empyrean empyreus is the highest part of heaven, once believed to be the realm of pure fire.

After lying low for a few years after a tremendous burst of activity in 2004, John Frusciante is back with another solo album, Empyrean. It starts out with a fantastic instrumental called Before the Beginning: a great minor key guitar solo, replete with echoplexed drums that was surely inspired by Maggot Brain. After that, it's back to the kind of introspective songs that have characterized much of his solo work. His singing is actually pretty remarkable considering his initial forays into vocals. Album 2009 10 Songs. Альтернатива 2009. Before the Beginning. John Frusciante, The Empyrean. 4, 5 stars 4 out of 5 stars. Record Collection. Frusciante joined the Chili Peppers as an 18-year-old guitar prodigy. With his affecting songwriting and a guitar style that sought to marry technique and intuition, he helped the band become, within four years, one of the biggest acts in the world. Disgusted by the straitjacket of success, Frusciante's head flipped. He quit the group in 1992 and, soon after, released Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt, an album of haunted compositions that recalled the raw, fragile solo work of Syd Barrett and Skip Spence
Akir
Best sounding version yet. Snatch one up while theyre cheap
WtePSeLNaGAyko
Blows the previous pressing out of the water, great sounding record!
huckman
Sucks to whoever paid $90 for this. Ooof, that hurts.
Manona
I am so pleased with this! As mentioned in another comment this is like rediscovering the album! John and Bernie really care and it shines through on this album.
Purestone
This version is far superior compared to the 2012 repress. That version sounds very cold and digital with lots of clipping. This version sounds like i'm actually hearing the album for the first time. The sound staging and dynamics on this pressing are simply incredible.
Nargas
Does anybody know when it comes out in Europe!? Thanks !!
Truthcliff
Due for UK/EU Release 27th March 2020 pending any delays
Enila
Mostly unlikely it will get a specific EU release. I would grab this while you can!
Ohatollia
guess i'll just have to wait for the 20th anniversary ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Steelcaster
Still gettable from John's own site so who cares when it comes out in Europe? The 2012 reissue was going for $200 like the original as soon as it sold out so don't leave it any longer if you want/need this.
Arthunter
Anyone got his pre-order copy yet? How are the bonus tracks? Pretty excited.
Iphonedivorced
For those wondering/asking, the initials BG are written in the deadwax, so this was indeed cut by Bernie Grundman as it was advertised.
Paster
Wow, thats really great news! Kind of unexpected but happy to hear that!
Camper
What does "recut" mean in this context? Is this LP any different in Sound than the original one?
Chilele
you got it wrong dude. it's CUT from the original analog tapes. (Read the sticker on the album! Discogs has written recut, wbuch is wrong.) That means that the John and Bernie Grundman took the original tapes and CUT the matrice which presses the music on the vinyl. (By the way, do you know how an album is pressed?? (- Sorry, no offense...) The good fact is that John himself has done this with one of the best - Bernie Grundman - very carefully! That's good when the artist himself has an eye on the making.. It is as close to the original as it can be. What uou mean it sounds different is because many of the useless (can't better explain in English) and not stuff is left out and the album sounds like the original but in a much better quality. It's no remixed or changed stuff on it. It's just an awesome version. I don't think that even the 180gram version can'r keep up with this one (even if I haven't heard it yet, I can't imagine that album sounding betterthan this..)!! Inner sleeves are printed lyrics and easily put the records in soft inner sleeves. No problem.. Great copy!!
Vushura
The new version of the album sounds fuggn AMAZING! If you are still in doubt , I say just go for it. Buy a copy. It is GREAT.
Kesalard
Nonsense. You obviously don't know what you're talking about but "my best guess" blah blah blah. Do you also guess that John himself would be personally involved in the process if it were coming off the production line like a CD?
Minha
Every time you cut a lacquer, you are essentially doing a new ‘remaster’ and, unless it is done by the same mastering engineer using the same EQ and mastering chain, it will sound different.
Doukasa
The sticker actually only says "Cut", not 'recut'. So my guess is whoever wrote this here meant it in the sense of 'because this is a repress it's a recut'? That's my best guess. In whole, it says "Cut from the Original Analog Tapes", so in my opinion, it shouldn't sound differen't.
Fordrekelv
Yes it was recut by Bernie Grundman and John from the original analog master tape. It sounds different from he original in my opinion.
