Thanatopsis, what\'s it like?

[Xyphoid Process]

I\'m a fan of everything Buckethead, from the extremes (Cuckoo Clocks to Electric Tears) and everything in between.  I haven\'t heard any Thanatopsis though.  What\'s it like?  

Thanks Travis for supporting a genius!

[gkg]

it\'s a really fabulous collaboration of Travis and Buckethead with Ramy Antoun on drums.  no words man, i have no words... just a wonderful flight through melodies, notes, keys, visions and moods...

[Chris DiCicco]

  take it er leave it I have the second album and its sorta fusion meets FX meets Jam meets rock I donno! Axiology is just all around great I wanna get the other Thanatopsis but the metal dude on cover scares me.

There are a number of Thanatopsis tracks available for free download here:

Xyphoid, Make no mistake and get all 2 thanatopsis albums, they are something everyone should have in there cd collection. thanatopsis (the first one) seems to be over looked by most Buck fans, dont get me wrong Axiology is a fine peice of work, it\'s good anough to make love to  . thanatopsis is on the hevier side still pyrric victory still reminds me of a video game, which is awesome!

Dont Fret Get these 2 cd\'s at once, even more so if travis still has the package deal up as well, grab a t-shirt as well

also Travis when will ther be more Thanatopsis? or Cobra strike? or Death cube k?

[sngwthme]

I received a package on Monday that contained 3 cd\'s. Thanatopsis, Thanatopsis-Axiology and Death Cube K.
Thank you Travis for the quick outstanding service!  
I immediately however was faced with a very serious dilemma, as you can guess, which one I should listen to first.  :-/
Well here we are two days later and I can only tell you that Axiology is completely worn out. I love this CD!
Nostrum is my absolute favorite followed by New Year, Gnash and Axiology.
Now don\'t think Thanatopsis was left out, it too is following very closely 2cnd to being worn out. I completely fell for Final Reparation and thought man this is my favorite until I got a few more tracks in and replayed Myopia about a zillion times!
Agreeing with Chris Moss in an earlier post

QUOTE, it\'s good anough to make love to  

yes...I could do that with all of them, cough cough, all CD\'s. This music is very S E X Y

To anyone who hasn't experienced this yet, I encourage you to first get them now and second get them both at the same time! Be sure you are settled in because you are going on a ride like you have never known. Guitars everywhere, the keybords are off the handle and the drums, oh my! the drums! Throw in the strings and all the other little things that just jump on you, just believe me you will not  be able to get enough.
Travis, Thank you.Thank you Thank you! Buckethead, Thank you. Thank you Thank you. Ramy Antoun, Thank you. Thank you Thank you. You guys are amazing!
It leaves me to say that I have a new dream.
To one day record with Travis.
(see SNGWTHME dreaming , insert that here.)

What I have to say about Death Cube K is this, This is the most frightening thing I have ever heard. I don\'t recommend dozing off in the middle of it. The nightmares it causes might detour people from ever sleeping again. (please know I mean this in a good way)
I love track 8 and 10 and all I can say is look out trick or treaters cause this music will be playing when you knock on my door!
Ha ha ha ha ha he he he very scary~~~~~~

Thank You for the links Travis.  
I love the downloads! I\'m playing them now as I write this and "New Year" is a beautiful piece.  However, I wonder if it\'s my connection or what, because the tracks don\'t play through without  the "Buffering" interrupting the flow.

I\'ll gift myself with both of these albums in the near future.

[Travis]

Sngwthme,

Thank you very much for the kind words. I am currently about halfway through with what will be Thanatopsis III or whatever we end up calling it and it\'s good to hear something nice about your work particularly when that work can be daunting at times.

Ocean,

That just means your internet connection isn\'t fast enough to stream the file. You could either pause the track while it\'s downloading till the download has progressed well ahead of your demand for the file or right click on the link and download the file to your hard drive then play it off you hard drive.

[size=18][glb]yay!!!  thank you for answering an oft expressed demand for more more more!!   [/glb][/size]

Ocean, save yourself any hassle and download the thing to your hard drive - you\'ll definitely want to play it over and over and over...  

[Xyphoid Process]

These albums are masterworks!  I went with everyone\'s recommendations and am now a very happy listener.  Travis, you\'ve once again produced a work of art.  My question is, do we have a chance in hell of seeing a Thanatopsis tour once B finishes the current stint with C2B3?  It would make me happy.

[oldfolkie]

Have to add my 2 bits to the discussion! One bit for each CD  

They\'re fabulous! Just completely got under my skin -- wow, Travis, outstanding work by everyone. I\'m so glad I listened to all the other ravers on these and am joining the rave!  

[caper]

whaz dis thanatopsis III in the works, ok! that is good news!!!
I agree with everyone that said you should get both axiology and thanatopsis.  thanatopsis is more hard core.  axiology rocks.  if you haven\'t heard cobra strike II now that is one fine ride.  I say add it to your list of desires.

[Ocean]

Thank You Travis.

I\'ll have to check with my ISP and see what\'s happening also, just to be sure.

To comment, I got a copy (real, just so we\'re sure on that) of Thanatopsis from this one guy a while back, and to be honest, I love it.  I curse the fact that my cd player is broken right now, and i can\'t listen to it.  Cuz all this talk about it is making me wanna hear it sooooooooo badly.  I love this album.

From what I\'ve heard, Aixology sounds even better.  The sample tracks are.... Well, beautiful, that\'s a good description.  This one is definately on my Xmas list.

I swear, if i ever make a movie, i\'m going to try and use nothing but buckethead tracks.  I think it could work.  Hell, he does everything, how could it not work?  Well, buckethead could say "don\'t use my songs," and i\'d be like "drat."  But then i\'d move on, cuz buckethead knows what\'s best.
