As renowned for the fact that he wears a white mask and a KFC bucket over his head as he is for his mercilessly blistering leads, Buckethead is one of the most enigmatic performers in rock. His 2005 release on John Zorn's Tzadik label is an appropriate installment in the label's Lunatic Fringe series. Combining everything from metal to funk to avant experimentalism, Buckethead stays true to his anything-goes aesthetic on KALEIDOSCALP, defying expectations while maintaining a stunning, remarkably high caliber of musicianship.
Whenever John Zorn is involved with a project, you know that conventionality automatically goes out the window. And Buckethead's 2005 release, Kaleidoscalp, is no different. Issued on Zorn's Tzadik label (with Zorn serving as "executive producer" of the album), Kaleidoscalp manages to combine both artists' eccentric trademarks -- Buckethead's penchant for otherworldly guitar playing and Zorn's fondness for unpredictability and experimentalism. Both universes collide on such tracks as "Stun Pike and the Jack in the Box Head," "The Last Ride of the Bozomobile," and especially the brief "The Sticker on Hallucinogens." Kaleidoscalp is sure to please admirers of two of the most unconventional and unusual musical artists of the early 21st century. ~ Greg Prato Kaleidoscalp Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   Experimental
This cd is good if you like how Buckethead likes to experiment with sounds and riffs. It takes a true fan of Buckethead and music to appreciate this one

Scalp cutting!!!
At the first time, this album strongly resembles "The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell", owing to crazy death metal riffing and fast metronomical drum parts. But this one is 100x more experimental(executive producer is John Zorn). If you like Madonnna, this album will kill you ;) The most amazing place is the last composition - after an hour of breath taking sick avantgarde metal you will hear fantastic ballad. Mad masterpiece!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No free from the bucket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buckethead is free, yep, free from certain constraints due to his chicken farce and that's good. This guy is probably the most talented guitarist ever, and his metal is just superb.
Still believe enter the chicken is somehow superior even though the chicken link is very much alive. anyway I salute buckethead in his first attempt to free himself from too long a farce.

| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Kaleidoscalp
$6.39
The Corrs: Jim Corr (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Sharon Corr (vocals, violin); Andrea Corr (vocals, tin whistle); Caroline Corr (vocals, drums, bodhran, percussion).
Recorded at Ardmore Studios in Dublin, Ireland in January 2002.
You knew the Corrs had made it when they played the final JFK Awards ceremony of the Clinton administration. Playing it would have been achievement enough, but their status as a happening thing was cemented at the end of the ceremony, during the encores, when everybody was taking their final bows. Bill moseyed up over to Andrea, put his arm around her, and when she was looking away, sized her up -- at precisely the same moment Chuck Berry was checking her out. If that doesn't mean that you've broken America, entering its pop culture, I don't know what does, expect for maybe a VH1-endorsed piece of product like Live in Dublin. Lo and behold, that's exactly what the Corrs received in the ...
