Travis Dickerson Recording Studio Forum

Hey guys! I\'m a new poster to the forums but have been a lurker for a long time.

I\'m working on building my BH collection and my friend recently offered to purchase any 5 BH albums for me (as repayment for some work I\'d done for him.)

Because I am a college student with no income, my current collection is tiny. Right now I own Captain EO\'s Voyage, Electric Tears, Colma, Enter the Chicken, Monster\'s and Robots, Dawn of the Deli Creeps, and the new Untitled "Holiday LE." (oh, and an awesome BH t-shirt - thanks PawnBot!)

My question for you is, aside from what I currently own, what would you chose as the top 5, must-have BH/BH featured albums?

Any of the albums Buckethead did with Travis they\'re all amazing
Inbred Mountain
Crime Slunk Scene
Giant Robot (1994 release)
Cornbugs Celebrity Psychos (Just to try one out)


For me these are all great albums to build your collection off of

Also, welcome.

Can o\' Worms!!

Everyone\'s got a different taste for Buckethead stuff...

Here\'s what I recommend:

Giant Robot 1994 (if you can find it - for me its his #1 album)
Elephant Mans Alarm Clock
Inbred Mountain
Decoding the Tomb of Bansheebot
Dragon\'s of Eden

Good luck finding your preferred style!!

Elephant Mans Alarm Clock
Cuckoo Clocks of Hell
Decoding the Tomb of Bansheebot
Peppers Ghost
Crime Slunk Scene

(love these but they are a little different)
Elstew
Island of Lost Minds
Somewhere of the Slaughterhouse
Cobra Strike II - Y, Y + B, X + Y
Imbred Mountain

(Then some of his best work with Travis that you dont own)
Thanotopsis - Thanotopsis
Dragons of Eden
Population Override
Gorgone
Running after Deer

I like:

Decoding the tomb of Bansheebot
Albino Slug
Elephant men\'s alarm clock
Any Praxis album
The big eyeball in the sky

 

A Real Diamond in the Rough
Decoding The Tomb of Bansheebot
Crime Slunk Scene
Elephant Mans Alarm Clock
Giant Robot
and the Giant Robot NTT Download
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NJVSTWSS

What I recommend:

A Real Diamond in the Rough
The Elephant Man\'s Alarm Clock
Decoding the Tomb of Bansheebot
Inbred Mountain
Chicken Noodles

So many others are up there as well that I\'m not listing (Shadows Between the Sky, Pepper\'s Ghost, the three Thanatopsis albums, etc.) but the ones listed are some of my personal favorites. And obviously try and get Population Override if possible, but I doubt you can find that for cheap these days.

I suggest that you get the collabs with travis! Pop. Override, thanatopsis, left hanging, dragons, iconography.. That would be mybest suggestion.. But if you want strictly buckethead.. Then gettt
The elephant mans alarm clock
Giant robot
Peppers ghost
Inbred
Shadows

Elephant Man\'s Alarm Clock
Inbred Mountain
Crime Slunk Scene
Decoding the Tomb of Bansheebot
Pepper\'s Ghost

Hey JG. Aloha and welcome, it\'s always nice to meet new post-ers. What are your favorite 2 BH cds that you already own? Do you want cds only offered here at TDRS? You absolutely need Giant Robot(1994) or Bucketheadland. They are a couple of the essential BH cds. I have an extra copy of each
(used) and would happily send you one for free. PM me :-)

Duckhead is the man!!!

Loing time no see Duckhead...I hope all is well in HI!

Greetings, I am also a newcomer to the forum but no stranger to the vast library which we all love!  My top 5

Giant Robot
Praxis Metatron
Bucketheadland 2
Cuckoo Clocks of Hell
Pepper\'s Ghost

It is nearly impossible to narrow it down to 5 so here\'s 5 more!

Cobra Strike 13th Scroll
Thanatopsis 1st CD
Somewhere over the Slaughterhouse
Colma
Monsters and Robots

AHHAHA! i contributed.

My top five goes a little something like this. Aside from what you have.

1. Crime Slunk Scene or Elephant Mans Alarm Clock
2. Peppers Ghost
3. Population Override
4. Albino Slug
5. Inbred Mountain

But i love everything he does so its not really a top 5. Just start anywhere and you\'ll like it. i do.

Wow! SO many different opinions, it\'s going to be difficult to choose which CDs to add to my collection first! :-/

My 2 favorite CDs of my current collection are definitely The Untitled LE & Captain EO. After that comes Electric Tears & Colma. (Crap. . . you guys are right! How can you pick favorites when it\'s all incredible?) I\'m open for any/all CDs where Buckethead is involved! So far, I\'ve purchased my albums off of TDRS but am willing to outsource any that aren\'t available here. Also, thank you for your offer, I\'ll PM you!

I am pretty sure I\'d like Left Hanging to be one of my gifted 5 (I\'ve been obsessively playing the previews in the TDRS store.) Population Override & Shadows in the Sky are also sounding amazing (as far as I can tell from Amazon samples/previews.)

Ugh, I guess I better hope I win the Mega Millions jackpot hey?

Welcome to TDRS!
