Collaborations

A review of Calibration with a huge bit on John!

The Maneater recommends Omar Rodriguez-Lopez’s Calibration as a worthy listen and, (not) surprisingly, they said that Glosa Picaresca Wou Men is the most listenworthy track on it.

Another common collaborator of Rodriguez-Lopez’s, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ guitarist John Frusciante, brings forth the best effort on this album. Oddly enough it is not for a guitar solo, but for lead vocals on “Glosa Picaresca Wou Mên.” His haunting vocals fade in and out only revealing certain lyrics, such as “I know where I’m at/I know where I’m at.”

Maybe Frusciante knows, but anyone listening has no clue where they are.

You can read the whole review here. And here’s another one, from URB magazine, where the reviewer is quite puzzled with the song’s ending.

“Glosa Picaresca Wou Men,” featuring the Red Hot Chili Pepper John Frusciante, is a treacherous, chaotic and frankly, enjoyable journey, until it stops prematurely: a cliff-like fall with zero slope, right into the next track.

Slightly off-topic:
If you’re interested, a video was released for the title song.
