"Californication" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and for Best Rock Song.
CALIFORNICATION finds The Red Hot Chili Peppers once again in the more straightforward punk-funk mode of BLOOD SUGAR SEX MAGIK. This return to their original sound also marks the return of prodigal son John Frusciante, who takes over for his replacement, Dave Navarro. The Chili Peppers fill CALIFORNICATION with material shaped by personal and professional turmoil, resulting in a somewhat more sensitive approach than one might expected from a band whose hard-core following are skate-punks and drunken frat-boys. Songs such as "Otherside," "Scar Tissue" and "This Velvet Glove" overflow with background harmonies, while Frusciante's unadorned guitar provides support for Anthony Kiedis' emotive singing and broken-hearted lyrics.
The title track is one of the most impressive songs this quartet has written--It tells a tale of wandering souls who've lost their way searching for the American Dream in California. This sensitive showing does nothing to undermine the Chili Pepper's trademark aggressive musical style. If anything, their playing has gotten tighter--as evidenced by the chicken-scratch funk of "Get On Top" and the scat-sung approach of "I Like Dirt." The most impressive anomaly on CALIFORNICATION is "Savior," an ethereal track that finds Frusciante playing with a tone reminiscent of early Peter Green.
Japanese edition of the Peppers' 1999 outing with the hidden bonus track 'Gong Li' added. 16 tracks, also featuring the single 'Scar Tissue', plus 'Otherside' & 'Around The World'.
Engineers include: Jim Scott, John Sorenson, Greg Fidelman.
Red Hot Chili Peppers: Anthony Kiedis (vocals); John Frusciante (guitar); Flea (bass); Chad Smith (drums).
Additional personnel: Patrick Warren (Chamberlin organ); Greg Kurstin (keyboards).
Rolling Stone (6/24/99, pp.63-69) - 4 out of 5 - "...tunes that tickle the ear, romance the booty, swell the heart, moisten the tear ducts and dilate the third eye. All this inside of song forms and production that reveal sublime new facets upon each hearing....Not exactly your average white band."
Entertainment Weekly (6/11/99, pp.63-4) - "...the Peppers sound more relaxed, less grating, and...more introspective than ever before...." - Rating: B+
Q (1/00, p.85) - Included in Q Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 1999."
Q (7/99, p.112) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...the band's intrinsically eclectic nature ensures that they wander into new musical areas.... [reinforcing] their knack for great, unsual pop..."
CMJ (6/28/99, p.5) - "...combines the best elements of the Peppers' ever-broadening sound, from healthy doses of power-funk...to more straight-forward rock...,revealing the band's increased strength as songwriters....Kiedis's voice sounds much more confident and melodic..."
Melody Maker (6/19/99, p.52) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...'Parallel Universe'...smoulders with sidewinding splendour, sorta Janes Addiction rendezvousing with Dark Star on the set of 'Mad Max'....hearing a veritable rawwwk classic like the title track...you have to be glad they're still around."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.55) - Ranked #89 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "[T]he album adds a West Coast psychedelic haze to the band's patented P-funk-punk."
Mojo (Publisher) (7/99, p.100) - "...the Chili's latest riff-test should awaken even the rustiest of wedding-tackle....[their] characterful, tongue-in-somebody-else's-cheek approach still hits the spot..."
NME (Magazine) (6/5/99, p.38) - 6 out of 10 - "...they've never lost their knack for making everything sound like a gleefully sticky schoolyard euphemism, for revelling in the leering testosterone and goateed bass that stalks the world of nightmare..." Californication Review

Californication CD music
$12.15
HOMOGENIC was nominated for a 1998 Grammy for Best Alternative Music Performance.
"Bachelorette was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video.
As one of modern music's most enigmatic and consistently entertaining personalities, Bjork has never shied away from the edge. Whether making straight ahead dance music, exploratory modern rock, or even show-tune-caliber drama, her vision has always remained innovative and original. Her voice jumps, in the space of a syllable, from a kitten-like purr to a banshee's howl, and is never anything less than captivating. HOMOGENIC, her latest musical endeavor, finds her plunging headlong into electronica, a form well-suited to her intense, offbeat phrasing and tone.
From the skittering breakbeats and ghostly wails of the opening "Hunter" to the all-out electronic crash that is "Pluto," HOMOGENIC explores ...

| | Radames Gnattali Face To Face CD (1979) (Import) United Kingdom
Californication songs
$14.89 
Before there was Yes' "Owner of a Lonely Heart," there was just Trevor Rabin. He had gotten his professional start in the South African band Rabbit and Face to Face was his second solo release after that band. The album, released in 1980, is very nearly a true solo release, with Rabin only joined by drummers and a backing vocalist. The music presented here shows an artist who has not yet reached his maturity in terms of songwriting. That said, there are some inspired moments that show flashes of what was to be. The overall mode, though, is that of a fairly hard-edged, straight-ahead rock & roll style. One exception to this is "I'm Old Enough (To Make You a Woman)," which finds its roots more in an arena rock ballad type of format. Other points of interest include "You," a somewhat Beatles-influenced ballad. However, while that ...

| | Terry Adams Louisville Sluggers CD (2006)
Californication songs
$12.79
Fans of America's longest-lived cult band, NRBQ, will instantly recognize the names of the two principals here as founding members of the group: Terry Adams has been the keyboardist, guiding light and resident eccentric genius of the Q since the late '60s and guitarist Steve Ferguson appeared on the band's first couple of albums before being replaced by Big Al Anderson. Adams and Ferguson never lost touch, and on occasion Ferguson has turned up at a Q gig, much to the delight of the hardcore. Since NRBQ never really veered from its original vision -- melding together all that is great about American indigenous roots music (early rock & roll, vintage R&B, country when it was country, classic Top 40 and pre-'80s pop, avant-garde jazz, boogie-woogie, novelty tunes and whatever else feels right at the time) and then obliterating the lines between all of those genres -- it should come as no surprise that this duo project feels like a long-lost NRBQ album. The track list flits merrily from doo wop (the Orioles' "It's Too Soon to Know") to Thelonious Monk's "Blue Monk" to Jimmie Rodgers ("Mule Skinner Blues") to Tiny Bradshaw ("South of the Orient"). There are also Ferguson and Adams originals (and vocals from both), but no matter what the pair takes on, it comes out sounding musically inventive, unpredictably open-ended and tons o' fun. NRBQ drummer Tom Ardolino gives the sessions the same giddily ambling looseness that he brings to the band, and a horn section featuring Donn Adams, Terry's brother, punctuates the mixes with a soulful strut. Several tracks, ...
