Underground Chamber is a ride deep into the mind of Buckethead

Buckethead's Underground Chamber is the fourth release in his "Pikes" series, and something like his 33rd studio release overall. Underground Chamber is too good to be dismissed, but nowhere near the top of the pile in the expansive Buckethead discography. Sliced into 10 tracks for digital download, or a single continuous track for CD, the … Continue reading Underground Chamber is a ride deep into the mind of Buckethead →

This is a great disc when … Continue reading Downtempo and chill but still interesting: Massive Attack v Mad Professor →

Nicky Skopelitis & Raoul Björkenheim: Revelator

Bill Laswell has been a busy fellow lately, pushing out a lot of stuff on his label (I guess?) to Bandcamp that's been out for years or even decades but no longer in print. I'm really enjoying Revelator, a collaboration with Nicky Skopelitis and Raoul Björkenheim. I'd never heard of Raoul before, but I've picked … Continue reading Nicky Skopelitis & Raoul Björkenheim: Revelator →
