And since Buckethead has been brought up does anyone know if his new album has been released or when it will be released?

This is an album under the artist name Death Cube K (which, if you look at long enough, you will realize is an anagram) called _Dreamatorium_ and is more of an ambient thing. If people are looking for Buckethead stuff, there is a fair amount of it around. Among them - soundtrack to The Last Action Hero; Jonas Hellborg, Buckethead and Michael Shrieve: Octave of the Holy Innocents; Divinations Volume 1: Ambient Dub; Hakim Bey: T.A.Z.; all three Praxis albums; one of Henry Kaiser's albums (his first recorded appearance as far as I know and the only one under his real name); and a few more.

I found out about the "Avant" label from the Allan Holdsworth digest..Atavachron@msuacad.morehead-st.edu. There were some discussions comparing Buckethead to a young Allan Holdsworth. Thats it... bye, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From jeff@internet.net Thu Feb 23 17:39:17 1995 Subject: simon@isys.king.ac.uk said: >I adore this record and am fascinated (being a Japanophile) by the photgraphic >imagery on the cover, not to mention the illustrations by the japanese artist. >The sleeve says they come from Zorn's private collection, but does anyone have >further information on the origins of this material. I know nothing about the specific art on Zorn's labels, but if you like this stuff, check out the web site of Hisayoshi Osawa, an excellent Japanese photographer.

The SUBHARMONIC label is Laswell's you say? I had it mixed up with the SUBSONIC label, a spinoff of SUBROSA. Confused yet? Anyway, there is a Marc Ribot/Fred Frith split CD on SUBSONIC that is purportedly worthwhile. Does anybody know any more about the histories of either one? aclee ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From LeeGar@aol.com Thu Feb 23 20:54:40 1995 Subject: Re: Buckethead >From jeff@internet.net Thu Feb 23 01:06:58 1995 >Subject: Re: Buckethead >>>From gastarit@comm.net Wed Feb 22 12:25:30 1995 >>Subject: Buckethead >> >>Heard via another list that JZ has a record label called "Avant" or something >>like that.

Also, what's this about a zorn label? :) Just picked up Masada #2 from downtown music! Good stuff, though not as good as live (what is?).

It's on the Paddlewheel label, which they also had never heard of. Can anyone help? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From H8UAL@aol.com Fri Feb 24 01:17:30 1995 Subject: Re: ZORN DIGEST #29 I have a copy of Bucketheadland...it is on AVANT and this is John Zorns Japanese label.for more info you can write to this address: BUCKETHEADLAND; SUITE 545 976 W. FOOTHILL BLVD. CLAREMONT, CA 91711 I bought it at a store called "Rocks in Your Head" in New York City (near the village). This record store will help people locate music. I dont have their address...lost it. Call them and find out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From Robert_Ruzic@tvo.org Fri Feb 24 07:59:32 1995 Subject: The origins of Buckethead A friend of mine told me that Buckethead is a carnivorous (that means he only eats meat) alien (like, from outer space, not Mexico) who, when transcribing his songs, writes only in chicken blood. Can anyone confirm this? I know Bootsy's from outer space, but is Buckethead, too? And does he really have a bucket for a head? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
