Over the last year (2013) Mr.Bucket has released a mammoth 31 albums, often as a result of
this massive 'album override' quality has suffered with some albums (notably the pumpkin
pikes ) being nothing but noisy shards of ambient slunk. However amongst all these 'skin
piles' 'Wishes' is a gem, an album showcasing the Buckethead's immense musical acumen and
ability to create some of the the most ambiently emotive and touching songs human ears have
and possibly will ever know.
The album opener 'Ascending Soul' with its flurry of heavily reverbed notes sounds like a
million butterflies flapping their wings zipping around and about as if only to crash into
you. Its undeniably the most uplifting piece Buckethead has ever written.
'Sharing Space' sound almost too familiar.With their ambient sounds and slow trudging
guitars they could simply be placed into Electric Tears without anyone finding them alien
to the already more than a decade old seminal masterpiece of Buckethead wizardry.
The last track ,after which the album is titled, is pretty reminiscent of his Death Cube K
works,ambient sounds with the sole purpose of letting the listener know that its time to
say goodbye and that my work with this album must unfortunately for better or for worse
despite my wishes end.
