Bermuda Triangle is the eighth studio album by Buckethead. The album is primarily an electronica-based collaboration with Extrakd, who also produced and mixed the album.[3]
The album has been described as an "instrumental underground hip-hop/electro-funk fantasia"[4] and "snippets of blazing metal, washes of delayed patterns, relaxed lines matched with stuttering drums, and vice versa",[5] dealing with several Bermuda Triangle incidents and other sea/sailor related themes.
The album was recorded on a portable multi-track recorder.[6]
