A probable classic album in a decade.......2007-07-05

Giant Robot is an iconic album on many levels, and justifies the incredible hype and excitement Buckethead has slowly been earning over the last decade amongst musicians. This is one of the earliest releases by Buckethead (considering his solo career) and it is an absolute standout. For those unfamiliar with Buckethead, and wanting to start slow- you have probably been recommended this album here or Monsters and Robots. Giant Robot excels at being a great album to jump into and be enveloped by this world Buckethead has created.

The album itself consists of 19 tracks, 15-16 of them being solid pieces in and of themselves. it starts off with a short piece introducing the adventure you are about to participate and listen to, and leads directly into the rampant instrumental "Welcome to Bucketheadland." As far as the rest of the album goes, it remains linear and exciting, ramming from comical and twisted pieces into heavy guitar riffs which simply "rock." You may even find some to recognize in tracks "Pure Imagination" and Star Wars." A little pop culture intelligence should allow you to recognize these with ease.

Giant Robot succeeds indefinitely by allowing the listener to venture on a trip like no other. With Buckethead, unlike most artists, the album must be enjoyed in its entirety, and is organized in its order for a reason. Not to reiterate too much, but Giant Robot is borderline magical; allowing the listener to develop their own bond between the music and the ears.

A large portion of what I said is fairly cliche and oddly over exaggerated, but Giant Robot is an album which deserves to run laps around the rock artists tailing the mainstream today. In short, the musical verocity and viscious nature of Buckethead's work is stunning and beautiful, and nearly breathtaking.

With all that said, Giant Robot is not Buckethead's best work. I recommend this to those new to Buckethead and his material. Giant Robot is an excellent starting album, allowing the listener to jump in and enjoy the twisted comedy of this guitar virtuoso. Standouts include Binge and Grab (an 8 minute instrumental), Welcome to bucketheadland, and onions unleashed.

The album is unique, it is odd, and it will remain in your cd player for months to come- only to be replaced by a future album of Buckethead's.

It was good.......2007-02-28

first of all i heard some buckethead then i picked random buckethead cd and it was enter the chicken (TERRIBLE) then i got this cuz hes one of the best guitarists ever. I put 'er in and this annoying voice comes on. so anyways to cut to the chase i loved most of the songs but the voice annoys me to no end. The song welcome to bucketheadland is great untill "centipede woman" comes on and screams stupid crap. Binge and Grab is sooooo great it amazes me. I still think that thru all of the dialogue its still a great cd, and i would suggest it to someone who already likes buckethead

Amazing!!!.......2007-02-07

This is one of the first albums I bought on here, and i have to say i listened to it everyday for over 2 months, and i still now find myself going back and listening to it again and again, thats how good it really is. The song "Do you want some Slaw" is awesome. "Welcome to Bucketheadland" is an utter classic! Binge and Grab of course is a standard rock classic in my opinion when you tend to hear him play more of a creepy heavy metal on the same album: "Buckethead's Chamber of Horros", just an overall great album for people who love instrumental music with a little narrating in between.

A Buckethead classic and must have!.......2006-10-03

I won't rave too much since many others here have already said much to Buckethead's incredible abilities. It's true, he has staggering guitar skill, style range (literally every/any), and creativity all of which is even more jaw-dropping live - yep, I've seen him up very close and personal.

Giant Robot is (like most Buckethead discs) a themed album, hence the voice-overs and such which add depth to the story line. If one can allow their imagination to float a little, this album is HUGE FUN and a MUST HAVE for any Buckethead fans. Also a perfect album for Buckethead newbies, since he has such an enormous volume of work, which can be daunting for those trying to pick a disc of his to start with.

Double Wow!!!!.......2006-02-25

As tasty and edgy as Monsters and Robots . Buckethead will amaze you !!!This album made me a believer in Buckethead's "Guitar Godness" and I don't believe until I've been awed and folks I've been awed. Enjoy this solid end to end cd...I did....

Captured on this one disc are the great film scores Bernard Herrmann did for several classic science fiction films of the '50s and '60s. Herrmann did not go in for simple atmospherics and cheap orchestral tricks with his music. He knew that the music would have to conjure a mental world all its own. This is especially true in "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad". It's a tone poem Rimsky-Korsakov could have written. The best here is "The Day the Earth Stood Still" with its use of the (then) revolutionary theremin. It's a clear masterpiece, all on its own. --Paul Cook

The other essential Herrmann CD.......2004-08-25

I like to think of this CD as being the "Forbidden Planet" of film scores CDs -- technically marvelous, consistently enthralling on an emotional and mental level, and way ahead of its time.

Unfortunately it is not available as I write this. Last time I visited this Amazon site, there was one CD for sale for almost $60. You'll have to make up your own mind if this music is worth that much to you. I made my choice long ago to own this and keep it in my library, conceivably forever.

With five film scores, 35 tracks and 72 minutes of the most high grade science fiction music, this CD should be considered the definitive source for Bernard Herrmann's non-Hitchcock film scores. Not only did he conduct the National Philharmonic Orchestra in these recordings, the composer approved of the Phase 4 recording and mixing. It is, as the notes say, a unique listening experience.

I have found this CD to be a constant source of imagination, vision and scope in film music that still has no peer 30 years after its production. The opening sequence to "Journey To The Center of the Earth" is better than it ever was in the theater, where the music was a hackneyed backdrop to an incredilbe film. In this CD, the music dwarfs the film action.

My favorite sequence in this issue is Herrmann's work for the Ray Bradbury novella "Fahrenheit 451", which was recast in some minds recently when "Fahrenheit 911" appeared in theaters throughout the country.

Every bit of the miracle of that little film is projected through this eerily wonderful music, which seems to comprise a world of its own. The sections help recall Sontag's first trip on the fire engine, the bedroom fire and the finale.

The lengthiest tract on this disk is the near 27 minute set from the film "Gulliver's Travels". I've never seen the movie but will attest that the music is out of this world in a very British way. This section seems closer to following the musical rules for a suite than any other on this disk.

Decca had the good sense to return the Bernard Herrmann-conducted Hitchcock scores to circulation, so maybe they will do the same with this miraculous disk. Again, the notes are nothing to write home about, but even with that considered no lover of film music or the music of Bernard Herrmann can consider their library complete without this disk.

Parenting Magazine.......2006-01-16

Kimmy's offbeat style offers a bluesy call and response that teaches vowels, a dino-riff on a classic Eric Carle book, and a fresh interpretation called "Toes, Knees, Shoulders, and Head." Our favorite: "Billy Goat Walk," features oodles of let loose vocal theatrics"

Publishers Weekly Magazine.......2006-01-16

This effervescent approach to emphasizing preschool concepts through catchy songs is bound to be a hit in classrooms as well as with families. Kimmy's versatile voice often has an appealing blues-jazz edge, but she can rap, rock and do goofy Elvis-style impersonations and character voices with the best of them. The 20 brief selections here focus on such kid-centric and educational themes as making friends, colors, vowels, parts of the body, digging dinosaurs and boosting self-esteem. Kim Duncan (Kimmy Schwimmy) is the rightful and memorable center of this utterly likeable singing operation.

GREAT MUSIC FOR KIDS AND FAMILIES!.......2005-11-02

I am always searching for great children's music. This CD is proof that there are great artists out there who are not getting the exposure other children's artists are. Our family absolutely loves this CD. Kimmy Schwimmy's music is incredibly well written. We found out by checking out her website that Kimmy Schwimmy Volume One are all songs Kimmy wrote specifically for her new preschool music curriculum. (check out her site and learn so much more about her! [...]). If you and your child are looking for great songs that teach preschool subjects, songs that are great to listen to and sing along with, and songs that you'll want to hear over and over again, buy this CD. It is AMAZING!
