Pandemoniumfromamerica
Buckethead & Viggo Dedicated to Noam Chomsky and using William Blake, Jonathan Swift, and Rumi's prescient wordplay as its point of departure, Pandemoniumfromamerica is a sonic snapshot of 21st century disorientation and dissent. Featuring the nuanced wizardry of guitarist Buckethead and compelling turns from Viggo, Henry, Elijah, Dom, Travis and Billy, Perceval's latest music release is a collection of spoken word exercises and aural collage that wanders mournfully through high lonesome minimalism and dense atmospheres in search of redemption. 14 tracks, total running time 44:22. $10

you can order it from here http://www.percevalpress.com/pandcd.html

Okay, guess what came in the mail: Pandemoniumfromamerica
Actually the general feel of the album is that of a soundtrack...if you ever bought a movie soundtrack (like Beetlejuice...ie a soundtrack that has instrumentals, orchestration, spoken word)
Red River Valley starts off with a feel like you get when you listen to chicken scratch off of the GNR bootlegs (only it starts out a bit slower-country walz tempo) but then it evolves into a funky bass space trip (really cool--BH plays bass and getar on that one) the spoke words pieces (pandemoniumfrom america, shadow... are pretty cool.  Back to babylon is awesome...leave it and holyhead (both instrumental) had a finger licking tinge of Colma in it with regard to the tone of his guitar. Fall of Troy has a total indian feel with that "twang" on the guitar.
Overall it's an interesting CD with some grreat musical gems, woven in a blanket of words and sounds. You might want to put this on on Sunday morning with your coffee, but it wouldn't be a "must have" at a 'party' or anything.
Some asides, the pics you see on the web link are actually on the inside of the title page...album is dedicated to noam chomsky.  :peace: :hihi:

Who's BT? I didn't say it was crap...I happen to like Buckethead. In my opinion, the only truly worthy thing Axl has done since he came out of the house is to introduce Buckethead to much of the East Coast...btw, I think Buckethead (at this moment) is making more money via his own endeavors than GNR--What the heck have they done lately....uhhh NOTHING
