rdf:langString Octave of the Holy Innocents is an album by bassist Jonas Hellborg on which he is joined by guitarist Buckethead and drummer Michael Shrieve. It was recorded at Greenpoint Studio in Brooklyn, New York, and was released by the Swedish label Day Eight Music in 1993. Hellborg later reworked the album and reissued it on his Bardo Records label. Regarding his association with Buckethead, Hellborg stated that he "was always playing electric on everything he was doing. It was interesting to see what he could do with acoustic guitar. I like the record and what he did. It's sort of minimalist in a sense. It's definitely a clear musical statement and makes sense to me." In the album liner notes, Hellborg asked: "Who is pure? 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."
