Pepper's Ghost and Captain EO's Voyage are the ones I want the most though. Did you get The Elephant Mans Alarm Clock btw? How does it sound? I didn't think mine sounded that great, it's got some smudges and surface scratches (from the packaging I guess), whereas my copy of Crime Slunk Scene is awesome.

I didn't order any of the vinyl editions except for Bucketheadland 5 13 10 31..I have Population Override on vinyl, but the others haven't excited me enough to buy since I've had the CD for so long of the TDRS era albums Live From Bucketheadland has been tempting, but I want to see if BHL3 has a download card at least first so I can enjoy having new tracks on my ipod. If not, I'll likely just hold off on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I'll likely just hold off on it. Fair enough. I've been wanting a copy of Shadows Between The Sky for years so a vinyl release was great news for me there, and a few others were exciting enough for me to order (the live record, Bucketheadland, Sparks In The Dark) but I don't listen to my CD's very often, I like the sound of my records better so if I'm gonna play something through my speakers, I'd rather get those than hunt down the CD's. I hope Bucketheadland and the live record come with download cards, it hadn't really occurred to me that they wouldn't, but now that I think about it I'm worried they won't. Still looking forward to that live record the most though, and I have no idea what to expect from Bucketheadland.

Exactly, I think the TDRS albums will come up on Bucket's bandcamp someday as a download, but "soon" in his terms can be months, or years..lol My expectations for the new Bucketheadland are at least a few guest musicians, with a lot of skits similar to BHL2's with characters and ride descriptions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, it'd be cool if he re-issued a batch of TDRS albums all at once as downloads and records. I won't hold my breath though I don't really have any expectations for Bucketheadland, I didn't overly care for the 2nd one but I'm looking forward to just hearing it fresh (hopefully avoiding reviews beforehand) and hearing it for what it is. I'm guessing there will be some skits and stuff but I wouldn't be surprised if he threw a total curve-ball with this record either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gackt Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 BHL2's one of my favorite albums of his, gives you a great peek into the demented world that Bucket envisioned as his personal theme park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gackt Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Giving the thread a little life, with how quiet it's been lately: an FYI, A Real Diamond in the Rough on vinyl has started shipping. Up next on the vinyl release schedule is Slaughterhouse on the Prairie, then the long-awaited Bucketheadland 513 1031 scheduled for a Halloween release.

There is a solo at the end of "there was a time", is that bucket ? What would you recommend as a good album for me to start with , doesn't matter when it was released.

I've never seen him live. Below is a list of recommendations that @Gackt posted way back when there were only 100 or so pikes. The Pike styles are all over the place. This is a great help: http://decino.nl/?p=pike-suggester. One of the most popular Pikes is #65. #1 It's Alive #3 3 Foot Clearance #5 Look Up There #7 The Shores of Molokai #11 Forgotten Library #23 Telescape #26 Worms for the Garden #28 Feathers #31 Pearson's Square #32 Rise the Blue Lotus #38 It Smells Like Frogs #40 Coat of Charms #42 Backwards Chimney #51 Claymation Courtyard #56 Cycle #64 Aquarium #65 Hold Me Forever #66 Leave the Light On #80 Cutout Animatronic #90 Listen for the Whisper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pishy Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 @triad thanks so much for taking the time to teach me all this, much appreciated. I like that solo at the end of "there was.." and after watching a lot of Bucket's videos it had his signature on it but I'm so new to it I didn't really know. I want to see him too. he is so prolific , I can't believe how much music he has put out, it's insane . im going to take your suggestions regarding what to start listening to. I read he wants to build an amusement park and create songs for each ride, that made me like him even more, I love roller coasters and always wished there could be music with the rides, the man knows what he is talking about ! How awesome would that be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pishy Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 @triad #65 is so awesome. I need to keep listening of course , but really great. he was here just this September , why didn't I look?!! And I didn't know about his work with Bootsy until recently . So Pike was the name of one of his albums then he had a series of Pikes, right? Pikes are a long running project but he also has separate albums? Are Pumpkin Pikes different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The release of Pumpkin Pikes would've made more sense as a 2CD Pike, not as two seperate Pikes. Edited October 21, 2017 by Sosso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
