Hellborg/Buckethead "Octave Of The Holy Innocents"

Bassist/composer Jonas Hellborg writes, "The music on "Octave Of The Holy Innocents" was recorded with Michael Shrieve, one of the truly legendary drummers of the world, and, at the time, a relatively unknown guitarist Buckethead, who has since become one of the most important voices in the electric guitar community. When looking over the tapes of these sessions I discovered tracks that I did not use the first time around. So there are no extra songs on this reissue, but a fundamental reworking of all the compositions of the first release. Some new light on this music that I did with two of my absolute favorite musicians. As I wrote years ago, in a world of premeditated mass murder by governments, of rampant pedophilia, of values turned inside out by media tycoons in order to make money, of torture and unchecked genocide. Who is innocent? We need to protect innocence. Not only individuals rights to be innocent but also innocence as a source of beauty, creativity and wisdom."
