I know it is not "Pikes" so slightly off topic... but I literally just discovered that the Mortal Kombat soundtrack featuring Bucket was re-released in September as a limited edition picture disc vinyl! Looks like it was USA only which is why I missed it but managed to pick it up for £30 import from Amazon.

I'm glad I saw Gackt's post about the sale. I bought Pikes 277-279, Pikes 281-283, and A real Diamond In The Rough. Pike 280 still hasn't had its digital release it seems.

About Division Is The Devil's Playground: I'm getting conflicting reports about how many tracks it should have. I only see 7 tracks listed, but one of the people that reviewed it said it's missing track 8. The zip file from Bandcamp only has 7 tracks plus the artwork. Was that reviewer just mistaken?

7 as far as I know. Which review mentioned 8?

On the page for Division Is The Devil's Playground they have Bandcamp reviews listed and one of them by the user Dennis Radaelli mentions an eighth track missing.  Maybe they were just thinking of another Pike?  It's easy to get confused when there are over 200 to choose from! :lol:

I've heard about this also; I cannot confirm it 100%, but Track #8 on the CD version of Division has the same track time as a download of a live performance of Flare available as a free download off his Bandcamp not available elsewhere, so that could be the missing piece to the puzzle

New Singles Not Attached to a Released Album
https://music.bucketheadpikes.com/track/mysteries-in-the-spanish-moss

Hi there, I'm just catching up on a few months worth of Bucket releases. Whatever happened to the "Spanish Moss" song? The link is dead. Has it been re-released elsewhere?

"Statue for Bootsy"
All the money for this recording is going towards building a statue of Bootsy that will be put in Downtown Cincinatti, Ohio.
He truly is a hero with the kindest heart.

$13 for one 6 min song is stretching things a bit I think. I've literally spend $1000's on Bucket throughout my life (pretty much have his entire back catalogue), but this feels steep...

Edited by ToonGuns
Edit: Just read the $13 is to go towards building a statue for Bootsy. Fair enough. Purchased.

I don't think you can buy or download these yet? Am I right?, they are only for listening on the website?

I love how Bucket has spelled "visible" wrong. He's often made these types of typos over the years, I'm never sure if it is intentional or not!

Bucket's been taking advantage more of having songs on his page that you can only stream but not download, I suppose so they're kept as strictly previews of what's to come; it's cool to see how some songs are like works in progress and you're listening to the progression, but his bandcamp and main website are getting more and more difficult to navigate because of all the links :P

Do any of you know if there is a streamlined list of which Pikes got a physical release versus which ones didn't? I wouldn't mind buying a few CD copies but don't necessarily want to click through each one individually. I'll probably buy the whole digital set eventually instead of cherry picking but some Bucket CDs and vinyl are always good to have.
