purlieu Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 John F has uploaded a bunch of unreleased stuff to Bandcamp, all for free / nyop download. The 'Renoise Tracks 2009-2011' collection has some pretty good stuff on it, mixture of breaksy IDM and his usual melancholy melodies. 4-Track Guitar Music is a bunch of lo-fi instrumentals recorded to 4-track (obviously), some nice beatwork on them, almost like his '90s stuff with a 707. Medre is pretty crazy acid stuff plus guitar. Sect in Sgt is an utterly nuts 21 minute soundscape, everything from super-fast drill breaks to acid rock samples, not sure I've ever heard anything quite like it. I'm hoping eventually he'll be accepted as a proper IDM musician rather than "that rock guy who does electronic stuff now". Some of this is amazing. https://jfdirectlyfromjf.bandcamp.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juiceciuj Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 good look man. imo he was rhcp's only saving grace. have really dug most of his solo stuff (as long as he doesn't sing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juiceciuj Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 the vsnares influence is strong in some of these renoise tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickDastardly Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 His Trickfinger s/t release was also recently made available on the acid test/absurd recordings bandcamp page: https://absurdrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/trickfinger-s-t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Sombrero Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 He's an amazing singer and I fucking hate RHCP. The Will to Death is my fave non-electronic album probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoggy Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 he's an amzing singer also, yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeez Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 https://jfdirectlyfromjf.bandcamp.com/track/medre love this one. reminds of last step a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghOsty Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Sweet, always up for more Frusciante. He really was the best part of RHCP, the chemistry he had with Flea was great. Haven't bothered listening to any RHCP since he left, and probably won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juiceciuj Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 medre riffs kind of remind me of ratatat w/more acid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QQQ Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Only had time to listen to the first two tracks but this is fucking sweet. Will return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnar Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 it... sounds like random rock noises with some carbon copy of vsnares/ snares pooped out some demo tapes during speed dealers moms sessions and sampled from that? I know amen break but singular scope 85 definitely is the exact same processed amen from dear poet/simpleton sry i just hate when rock music people try to appropriate electronic music stuff... go back to appropriating black people no but seriously I'm pretty sure you could do a double blind pepsi taste test with one track by a rock musician trying to do srs electronic music and one by a 90's warp musician and there is a discernable difference... the rock one tastes like triscuits while the warp one is like mangosteens made of god Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 on second hand if this is what it's like to be culturally appropriated it feels quite icky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirm Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 The fact it sounds different to the usual "lets sound like 90s warp" is what makes this interesting to me. Fair enough if you dont like it but kinda get the impression you might have made your mind up about this before even giving it a proper listen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraveGlitcher Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 This has been my favourite electronic work from Johnny boy. It just works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audioblysk Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 This is surprisingly good. Last I heard he was making some of the worst music ever on like 6 MC-202's - this is really quite a step up. Thanks for the link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goiter Sanchez Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Enjoying the Renoise album right now! Fuckin' Motiern 58 is euphoric! JF is definitely a capable IDMer, possibly even moreso than Thom Yorke, though less idiosyncratic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Sombrero Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 6 Culminate sounds exactly like Lay All Your Love On Me by Abba hahaha. No bad thing really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delet... Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 *has strong opinion on something* *awaits angry mob* hehe, thanks for doing the heavy lifting. But the kids like what they like, maybe the association with vsnares has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Sombrero Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I like it, I couldn't give a shit if he's just a brown belt as opposed to a blackbelt 4th dan IDMer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
