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.

Hans Zimmer, trying to avoid war-movie clichés, accompanies the dramatized carnage at Guadalcanal with a weepy and wistful score. Like the Terrence Malick film, the music, with its sad violins and underscored orchestra, invokes a war that is more introspective, a fitting backdrop to the often purple poeticisms in the voice-over narrations. Zimmer provides occasional adaptations to the American folk hymn "Christian Race," but his overall effect is much more otherworldly. Instead of the earthier martial themes associated with warlords or heroes, this is the soundtrack to a melancholy Valhalla, a story seemingly told by battlefield casualties who are already angels. Less predictable is a brief closing track (written by Francesco Lupica) strangely titled "Sit Back & Relax" that sends out a surreal "cosmic beam." --Joseph Lanza

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.
