From the Sounds Inside is the first internet album by American musician John Frusciante. A digital-only album released exclusively through the internet in August 2001, the album was free to download from his official website and includes material recorded during the To Record Only Water for Ten Days era of his solo career, most of which remained unmixed or unfinished. No track titles were given originally, which has given rise to songs appearing under different names in different sources.
The album was named by fans through a contest in 2001. The album's title was a result of a voting among fans, where it won with 36%. Two other titles, "2001 Internet Album" and "Live Above Hell" received 35% and 29% of votes.
In a 2004 online Q&A, Frusciante responded to a question about the album by saying "I don't know what "From The Sounds Inside" is."
Alternate versions of tracks 1, 5, 11, 15, 16, and 19 appeared commercially on To Record Only Water for Ten Days, the Going Inside EP, and the soundtrack album to the film The Brown Bunny (2004). The remaining 15 tracks are exclusive to this release.
