f the mere sight of Buckethead doesn't cause you alarm than surely a dose of his new CD might have you scurrying for cover. Like Jimi Hendrix did in the '60s, Buckethead is on the way towards reinventing a scintillating new language for electric guitar in the new century. Assisting him are esteemed avant-gard heavyweights like Bill Laswell, Les Claypool, and Bootsy Collins. Although Cyberoctave is renowned for their sonically harmonious space music, Monsters And Robots is another kettle of fish entirely. Intense instrumental funk-rock-electronica, with several incidental vocals, Monsters And Robots is New Age music for heavy metal fans.
