I’ve always had a soft spot for the album ‘To Record Only Water For Ten Days’. Surprisingly the album has some really great electronic / guitar crossover music and is not just recordings of water. John recorded this around the time he was recording Californication. This was my introductory album to John’s eclectic catalog after hearing the song ‘Murderers’ in a skate video.

One of my favorite songs off of John’s debut solo record recorded during the time of Blood Sugar sex Magic. Mind bending recording techniques on a Tascam 4 track cassette recorder. This is the song I usually show beginners and see how weird they want to get, if they don’t like this song I go more towards the electronic/pop leaning albums.

here's a completely under the radar gem of weirdo bedroom folk pop filled with bubblings of synths and fluttering flutes and random eclectic acoustic instrumentations, fragments of hooks and choruses, digressions into distortions and reemergences of natural ambiances with waterfall sounds, harps, xylophones, all mixed together in such a wonderful and fascinating way and i've been obsessed now for months... it sounds to me as if daniel johnston in his prime had access to a DAW.

incredibly lush synth and guitar layers. there’s some herbie hancock and ryuichi sakamoto type of things happening at times. even some tangerine dream-prog elements too. lots of detuned and gooey feelings. you can feel the dust in the room through the recording
