Hey guys,
this morning I had Bucketheads most recent album in the mail... "Electric Tears".
I had been looking forward to hearing it. I guess some of you figured by now that I am a huge fan of his "Colma" record ( which was a rather quiet, soothing album with clean electric guitar acnd acoustic guitar sounds, very atmospheric... ).
Now, although "Colma II" is supposed to be released in 2003, "Electric Tears" already picks up where Colma left... the difference is that there are now other instruments but guitars on this one.
No drums or percussion, only guitars.

And it´s a beautiful record, full of really nice melodies and chords, including a cool cover of "Sketches Of Spain".... it´s like perfect music to relax and dream away.

If you wanna read a bit more about the record, or if you wanna listen to some audiofiles or even order it, you can do so here:

So I guess this album ( as well as "Big Sky" by Brett Garsed ) will be on my list of "Best Albums of 2003" for sure...

It´s available at amazon.com, guitar9.com and maybe on Ebay, too... :)

By the way, it´s out on MetaMusic, which ( I checked out the site ) seems to be a label focussing on Yoga-music... go figure.
I am not surprised though, after all the music on ET ( end even the music on "Colma" ) does work for Yoga for sure.

Oh and did you know...

( yeah, I know it´s not a real secret anymore who´s behind the mask... )

Just in case you´re wondering about some of the killer-licks on his other records, check out his left hand... :)

Hmm...is it just me, or does his pinky look like it's 6 inches long?

Well, yeah, that´s why I said "Just in case you´re wondering about some of the killer-licks on his other records, check out his left hand... " :)
Of course it´s a picture-edit, but I guess it proves that the dude had a weird sense of humor back then :)

Actually, Buck made a prosthetic pinky finger thing. He's wearing it there.
