but he was right to omit it from the album

it doesn't fit with the rest and 'After the Ending' is the perfect closing track so

i like after the ending as the last track, what with the piano at the end, but here, air fits well imo as a true closer with the stripped down instruments...just an acoustic guitar. idk.



or im just a sucker for the warped guitar effect. like the brown bunny soundtrack kinda.

Yeah it's done by flipping the tape over and recording, then when the tape is played forward again, the guitar part plays in reverse. Pretty simple effect but it sounds really cool.

The Brown Bunny soundtrack is so great! 'Dying Song' and 'Falling' are incredible.

Yeah central is a pretty good song. I've always found Frusciantes albums to be wierd. I'd only hear Niandra, record water and curtaints before this one. This album follows the same pattern. His vocal range does always surprise me though... Still curtains is my favourite by him.

That friggin guitar in central...
