Travis Dickerson Recording Studio Forum

I\'m in the same situation as yourself for one thing : I can\'t order the whole set now.
I have bought every single disc Buckethead has been on since the beginning of his carreer (maybe except a couple of compilations that don\'t have otherwise unavailable material).

It is the first time that I can\'t buy a new Bucket project. I have only ordered one disc of thisinsearchofthe project. I hope I\'ll manage to order more later.

BUT I won\'t get the music for free. If I can\'t buy it, then I don\'t deserve to have a free listen.

And, $200 for a 13 CDR set is not that much. My problem is that we have not been warned earlier... and couldn\'t save money for this.

Giant Robot Japanese edition ? 2 CDs ?

Or... Bucketheadland ?

My own favorite is the first one.

Dark, heavy, insane, beautiful...

Crazy solos by Bucket and Travis, entertaining drumming by Ramy...

And, Travis\'s harmonies really give a special feeling to Buckethead\'s melodies/solos. It\'s something that I also enjoy on Somewhere Over the SlaughterHouse track 3 (Pin Bones and Poultry).

Well here I\'m glad I could order a single disc from the set. I\'ll certainly buy a full set later, as it will still be cheaper than order the 12 others separately.
But right now, if I want to taste it, it\'s the only way (no, no download).

Cobra Strike The 13th Scroll was the first Buckethead CD I bought, and Bill Laswell is credited for "invisible hand / subliminal projections".

I wonder what exactly Laswell\'s contribution has been for these recordings.

As this album has been created by Travis Dickerson, Buckethead (and Jerry Mano), I guess that Travis could tell us more about it ?

I am curious, and I hope to learn something about this fabulous CD. I\'m sure there is something to be said.

Well, I have made this mistake for the tour CDs (because CCCOH is not a tour CD), but actually, P-Sticks has done some art for Bucket, the ones I mentionned.

IMO, P-Sticks artworks fit Bucket\'s music very well when the music is somehow hiphop related (like cobra strike, somewhere over the slaughterhouse and bermuda triangle... ohh, and KFC Skinpiles) but Bryan Frankenseuss is jut PERFECT for Buckethead\'s mood on the rest of theproduction.

Oops, my mistakes :

-P-Sticks has not done any art of any tour CD
but
he has contributed to the [back] cover of Cuckoo Clocks of Hell

-And I forgot to mention my favorite one : Some Where Over the Slaughterhouse

P-Sticks has made a lot of CD covers for Buckethead and related (Cobra Strike 1 and 2, Bermuda Triangle, Audio Men, some parts of some tour only CDs... and probably a lot that I have forgotten right now).

Someone (Choptop ?) said that P-Sticks is Bucket\'s nephew. We can see him on a couple of Binge tapes, and on the Cornbugs DVD.

this song has never been on any official CD. Sorry.

I think I read somewhere that he has been back in GNR.

Hmm ? Remastered ? Bonus tracks ?
Or just repressed ?

I love the voices in Bucketheadland II. All of them.

I would like a Bucket (acoustic) + Albert (singing) whole album.

And, remember, "He\'s got a Bucket on his HEAAAAAAAAD"

I would say :
buy Bucketheadland II and Island of Lost Minds tomorrow.
Gorgone and Funnel Weaver the day after.
and the two Death Cube K the day after.

Or maybe you should begin today.

I loved that one from the first listen.
There are bands making whole 5 minutes songs from one riff, or even full albums made from one riff... Here is the opposite. This album has enough material for 10 others.  This shows in one album the prolific potential of Buckethead.

Also, I love the particular sound of this album.

I hope you will love it better at the second listen.

Well, I\'m glad I wrote this mistake about OOP stuff, so my thoughts got fixed. Thank you Travis.
