Free Music Review: An Eclectic & Captivating Offering
Hit: 5 Stars

Many who listen to England's electronic art rockers Autechre, the ever-eccentric Bjork, or to Radiohead's more recent catalogue editions like "OK Computer," "Kid A," and "Amnesiac," merely sit in awe of the intricate digital textures, rhythmic programming, inventive synthesizer manipulations, and the surrealistic atmospheres which they create. Others, like Chili Peppers' guitarist John Frusciante and his long-time friend, Josh Klinghoffer, are inspired to the point of imitation. Luckily for us, they do it well.

Those expecting a disc chockfull of Frusciante guitar solos should look for one of the other six, yes six, solo albums the Chili Pepper string magician is putting out this calendar year. "Sphere" is a highly electronic, synthesized, beat driven, heavily layered, and groove oriented album. "Sphere" trades in the Chili Pepper sing-a-long offerings for atmospherically catchy rhythms and dance-inciting grooves. Yet, it still owns its share of melodic licks, and, an intoxicating two-minute Frusciante guitar run starting four and a half minutes into its first track to satisfy Chili Pepper fans salivating for such.

Frusciante and Klinghoffer weave beautiful vocal harmonies on the lazily paced and melodic "Surrogate People," while the beautifully symphonic "At Your Enemies" sounds perfect for background for a Blue Man Group performance with its xylophone runs, helicopter like interjections, and captivating Klinghoffer vocals.

Klinghoffer takes the reigns in the highly atmospheric "Communique," seemingly setting up his piano atop the windy Alps with Frusciante experimenting with his modular synthesizer a few steps behind.

Frusciante's raspy vocals shine in the dance provoking standout "Walls" as Klinghoffer's Thom Yorke-like undercutting backing vocals compliment brilliantly.

Infused with a groovy PJ Harvey-esque bassline and raspy Frusciante vocals, the catchy "Afterglow" is enough to make any rhythm-less person attempt what he or she should never: dance.

The short and simple piano-led "My Life" is the only track that leaves anything to be desired, but still tugs at the `ol heart strings.

This short yet magnificently eclectic EP is a welcome departure from the Chili Peppers' increasingly pop rock orientated releases and is a must for any music connoisseur who appreciates rich textures, heavily layered rhythms, captivating soundscapes, and well... good old- fashioned "boogeying."
