"Abstract Depressionism" is the title of a not so well known yet great CD released 1998, and it has got a track 3 credited to Praxis, undoubtedly Bill Laswell playing most of it. Anyone who knows if the guitar is played by Buckethead?

praxis released 1984, with no bucket on it and it dont sound like anything from praxis including buckethead,  i dont think so.
you can always goto //www.bigneandgrab.com/discography.html and see if the album you talk of is there with a buckethead cedit. if it isn\'t then probally No

In many cases Laswell will use the titles:Praxis,Material or Sacred System for a solo work.Usually when contributing to a comp.That was the case,with Abstract Depressionism....

Yes, there is no doubt that this song was fabricated by Bill Laswell alone. However
1) There is accoustic guitar, which Laswell seldom plays by himself.
2) The synths bass line is the same as on Colma. The entire track sounds very similar as Machete/Colma.
3) Same year.
4) Compare to Shine/Unison, same concept.
I believe that the guitar is a sample of Big B, material rehashed very well.
