The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows, the new studio album from Damon Albarn, will be released by new label home Transgressive Records on 12th November 2021.
The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows was originally intended as an orchestral piece inspired by the landscapes of Iceland. This last year has seen Albarn return to the music in lockdown and develop the work to 11 tracks which further explore themes of fragility, loss, emergence and rebirth. The result is a panoramic collection of songs with Albarn as storyteller. The album title is taken from a John Clare poem Love and Memory.
Albarn says “I have been on my own dark journey while making this record and it led me to believe that a pure source might still exist.”
Alongside a digital release, there will be limited edition white vinyl format, plus CD and cassette. There will also be a deluxe version of the album, taking the form of a casebound book with additional photography, original scanned lyrics and artwork from Damon, alongside a white vinyl version of the album, a high quality digital file and a bonus 7” featuring an exclusive song from the recording sessions.

Bucketheadland Blueprints is a demo tape by Buckethead, containing supposed material for his debut album Bucketheadland (1992). It was later re-released, due to popular demand, as both a limited edition and non-limited edition CD.

Many early versions of the riffs featured on Bucketheadland, as well as some riffs which were not used at all, can be heard on this tape. Notably, the "Park Theme" is different from the one used in the album version, although that version can be heard on this demo tape as well.

In August 2007, the demo was re-issued on CD through Travis Dickerson's TDRS Music label. A limited edition version of 500 copies, personalized by Buckethead, was available as well as a regular edition. The regular version is not personalized, but features complete artwork, which the limited edition version lacks.

The limited edition is split up into 23 tracks.

Pike 18 is the forty-eighth studio album by guitarist Buckethead, and the eighteenth installment of the Buckethead Pikes Series.[1] The album was part of a series of twelve pike albums that were released in close succession from one another during the first half of 2013.
The album was announced on July 2 as a limited edition, untitled album with hand drawn covers and signed by Buckethead himself, and expected to be released on July 24. However, there was a slight delay and the album was finally released on July 29. A standard edition was announced but has not yet been released.

When they first hit the underground scene, the Pixies were like an exotic drink that hid its sweetness behind a ferocious bite. The album's production is like a crude explosion: every strum and clang comes down with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. English and Spanish lyrics collide as singer Black Francis (later Frank Black) shouts in a hoarse monotone and Mrs. John Murphy (later Kim Deal of the Breeders) backs him up with throaty wails. Yet somehow the clash of these bruising titans makes for tracks that print indelibly upon your consciousness--once let in. Kurt Cobain is their most famous student. He grafted the Pixies' time-honored craft of the big bang theory onto Nirvana's biggest hits. (You start with a quiet verse and then explode for catharsis in the chorus--evidenced best here with "I've Been Fired.") The Pixies themselves have served quietly, attaining post-punk godfather status not by tooting their own horns, but through the praise of a steady stream of genuflecting admirers whose word of mouth continues to increase the band's deserved critical standing. --Rob O'Connor

如果有人想在80年代找一支带有90年代色彩的乐队，那么 Pixies 绝对是不二的选择。他们在签约于着名的英国唱片厂牌 4AD 之后推出的这张激进的《Surfer Rosa》以其严肃刺耳的音波为诸如 Nirvana 之类的乐队扫平了道路。在善于在制作中表现自我的制作人 Steve Albini 的协助下，乐队以吉它手 Joey Santiago 暴怒的吉它和主唱 Black Francis 的嘶吼确立了他们独特的风格：冷酷但不傲慢、充满创造性但并不故作晦涩、硬朗却不夸张。歌曲“Gigantic”、“Break My Body”、“Tony's Theme”、“Something Against You”、“Where Is My Mind”是公认的非主流摇滚必听之选。
