Notes
"Beyond the Knowing" is an instrumental re-release of "What Kind Of Nation" from the album Intelligence Failure, a collaboration with Viggo Mortensen.
"La Wally" is a composition by Alfredo Catalani.
"La Gavotte" and "Bachethead" are movements (Gavotte I & II) from Suite No. 6 for solo Cello (BWV 1012) by Johann Sebastian Bach.
"The Homing Beacon", was originally released exclusively on Buckethead's official website in 2009 without an album. It is a tribute by Buckethead to Michael Jackson after hearing the news of his death.

“Electric Sea” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Electric, album and Buckethead provides the most credible route into that argument.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1765100. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2002, 1012 and 2009.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
