Giant robot ntt full album buckethead


Giant Robot is the self-titled debut studio album by Giant Robot, led by guitarist Buckethead. The album was released in 1996. Buckethead had released a solo album entitled Giant Robot in 1994, and to distinguish the two albums, fans refer to this recording as Giant Robot NTT, after the small recording company, NTT Records.

Contents

The album contains numerous tracks from other Buckethead albums, such as "I Love My Parents" from his debut Bucketheadland (1992), and "Jowls" and "Scapula" that later appeared on the 1999 album Monsters and Robots.

It was in print for a very short amount of time which makes it one of the most sought after Buckethead releases with collectors paying high prices for copies in good condition.

A re-release of the album is unlikely because it contains numerous unauthorised samples from films in its songs. For instance the track "Well, Well, Well" contains a clip from A Clockwork Orange when Alex encounters his former friends, the Droogs as police officers. "Scapula" uses samples from Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, while "Sally" makes references to a The Texas Chain Saw Massacre character.

Buckethead's friend Travis Dickerson stated in 2008:

I think not only are there copyrights and ownership issues but over the years there has been a quest mythology, an El Dorado effect that has gained more value in of itself. So I think the situation as it is will remain for sometime.
