there's also the Hellborg/Shrieve/Buckethead - Octave Of The Holy Innocents. i seem to remembet that being a little outside the 'normal' Buckethead realm....it was played on acoustic guitar..which was kinda cool...tho now that i'm thinking of it (it's been a while since i've listened to it) it might have been the same bazillions of notes. gotta pull that one out tonight.

...

Oh, also features Buckethead who is actually amazing on this record. If this was the only record he had ever made, he would have become a hero. Unfortunately ho chose to poison the world by doing the same, and the same, and the same, over and over and over and over, and over again. And again.

As you say, Buckethead usually does the same thing again and again but the Praxis album, Transmutation Live, recorded in Zurich is really great! Four 15 mn songs with themes from the album Transmutation but played faster and with great scratch from the Invisible Scratch Pickles. I really enjoyed this album. Totally different from his other ones. What he did with Les Claypool (from Primus) was also good and quite "Primus-influenced"...
