Buckethead gets ambient

"It's hard to really describe this album to someone. It's hard to describe Buckethead to someone!The album is composed of long, dreamlike ambient sounds, most of which I suspect Buckethead created with his guitar and effects processor. It's either relaxing or terrifying, depending on your mood and perception. To tell the truth, this is a great thing to have on the stereo while you nap. Not too loud. It is like white noise, but interesting in this situation. Really, your best bet is to listen to the tracks on this site."

An eerily soothing listening experience

"On Death Cube K's Dreamatorium, guitarist Buckethead and bassist Bill Laswell have truly created something unlike anything else I've ever heard. This recording will really take you somewhere you've never been and tastefully pushes the boundaries of music. The duo have created this offering of dreamy, ambient noise that mesmerizes, relaxes, and haunts its listeners. Dreamatorium could very well put you to sleep, or creep you out depending on your perception. Although the sounds are soothing, the feel and tonality mostly create a dark and unsettling mood.



Drenched with atmospheric effects, the instruments are not easily distinguishable for most of the CD. Ocassionally some light clean tone guitar will come in, and a few abstract sounds flutter in and out of the soundscape. Overall this is just a great piece of experimental music that I recommend to anyone looking for something new and different. Hats off to Buckethead and Laswell for Dreamatorium."

Different from the others-and just as good!

"there are three dck cd's as far as I know;dreamatorium,disembodied,and tunnel(available only @ buckethead's website).disembodied and tunnel both are records that flow from song to song(each could be a single 50 minute track),but dreamatorium is the exception.the songs are all very ambient,but are distinctly different from one-another.my favorite track off of it has to be "maggot dream "because it's like somthing off"colma"only a tad bit more dark and brooding.if you have one dck cd,you need 'em all!"
