Buckethead, Shin Terai - Heaven and Hell torrent

After more than ten years of steady collaboration both on stage and in the studio, bassist Bill Laswell and mutant ninja guitarist Buckethead join forces once again on Heaven And Hell-a full-length dub-style excursion that also features sound collage work from Shin Terai (the original Chaos Face of Subharmonic fame, and whose 1999 debut album Unison was co-produced by Laswell). Reminiscent of some of their more extended psychedelic forays as part of the avant-shred combo Praxis, Laswell and Buckethead have consistently displayed an almost symbiotic rapport when it comes to composing. For this particular trip, they rely primarily on instinct to create a lush, flowing suite of low-end dub fugues laced with radical sound effects-echoes, flanges, envelopes, distortion and signal noise-and unrelenting grooves that will surely have even the most jaded listener trancing out in no time.
