[QUOTE=RoyalJelly]I haven't heard Buckethead's solo music, but I can say this. He 
played on the last album of the greatest drummer of all time, 
Tony Williams. The group is called Arcana, it's a Bill Laswell 
project he did with Tony, the album is called "Arc of the 
Testimony", Tony Williams died just after it was released. It has 
a Crimsonesque feel to it, but with Pharoah Sanders 
saxaphone it has an unbelievably sublime, spiritual ambience.

As it happens, KC cover a Pharoah Sanders track on the KCCC issue Live At Summit Studios, Denver.

BTW One Buckethead album up at least in PA, under Jonas Hellborg's name : Octave Of the Holy Innocents - one of the best jazz rock fusion albums of the 90's IMHO.

Bill Laswell's name comes a number of times associated with Buckethead - e.g. check out the v difficult to define music of   Praxis.  

I got into mr. head courstesy of Les Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains.  It turned out I already had him in my collection on Bill Laswell's Divination Ambient Dub Volume 1.  
I've not only got the Arcana album, it's excellent, and I also work at a small firm called Arcana. 
He's already got one foot at least on this site - Octave of the Holy Innocents with Hellborg and Shrieve another excellent album as already mentioned^.
