All that Motown stuff.

(I always forget simakos--should these be in order of importance, or just sort of as they come to mind. Berry would be considerably higher if it's the former.)

Got it from Allmusic. Which is why it's often incomplete or wrong.
Laswell has produced most of Buckethead's stuff.
I like that Buckethead CD, but I can't find out if he produced my favorite Buckethead, Bermuda Triangle. Of course, don't forget that first Praxis CD, which is mostly buckethead anyway.

XTC


I'm trying to recall all the details but they came off like cats and dogs and we're kinda forced
to do as Todd demanded. The results worked to XTC's benefit but they hate his guts now which is ironic cause they were big fans of his which is why they wanted him on board. In turn, Andy Partridge had the same effect on blur. :rolleyes:
