Primus & the Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble

Primus

image
Released: Oct 2014
Label: Ato Records
Primus' classic line-up -- bass player Les Claypool, guitarist Larry LaLonde and drummer Tim Alexander -- reunites for a bizarre "re-imagining" of the soundtrack to the originalWilly Wonka & The Chocolate Factory flick from 1971. As with the trio's best releases, from Frizzle Fry toPork Soda, the album conflates the macabre and the zany, as well as the progressive and the atavistic. Hardcore fans of the movie surely will take issue with Primus' absurdist treatments of "Pure Imagination," "Golden Ticket," "Oompa TV," et al. But hey, reverence has never been one of the band's strong suits.
