Buckethead – Big Sur Moon
An evening pause: The guitar playing here by Angela Maldonado proves that you don’t need a synthesizer and computer software to play this stuff.
Hat tip Insomnious.
From the press release: From the moment he is handed a possibility of making the first alien contact, Saunders Maxwell decides he will do it, even if doing so takes him through hell and back.
Unfortunately, that is exactly where that journey takes him.
The vision that Zimmerman paints of vibrant human colonies on the Moon, Mars, the asteroids, and beyond, indomitably fighting the harsh lifeless environment of space to build new societies, captures perfectly the emerging space race we see today.
He also captures in Pioneer the heart of the human spirit, willing to push forward no matter the odds, no matter the cost. It is that spirit that will make the exploration of the heavens possible, forever, into the never-ending future.

Robert – I am wonderfully surprised to see a Buckethead song on your webpage. Buckethead will go down (arguably, of course) as one of the best musicians of all time. He has composed over 200 albums and his music covers the widest of ranges. He is a modern-day Mozart/Beethoven/etc. I hope you enjoy Big Sur Moon and I will share some of my other favorites with you as I go through my YouTube playlists.
I encourage anyone who enjoys classical or instrumental music to indulge in Buckethead. Some songs you will hate, but many you will undoubtedly love.
I know this is a cover version, but I highly recommend you explore original Buckethead music.
I’ve been listening to Brian since the early 90’s. He has always been wonderfully weird and amazingly awesome! I’ll say that he is the Chopin of guitar with a whole lot of Andy Kaufman! Here is one from his leather-face Praxis daze, circa ’95 and a short story about his DisneyLand obsession.
That’s all I’m gonna say here. ;)
