Primus - Primus & The Chocolate Factory With The Fungi Ensemble flac album

Primus & the Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble is the eighth studio album by American rock group Primus. The album is a re-imagining of the soundtrack of the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. The album was released on October 21, 2014.

This current CD, Primus and the Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble, came with a sticker that says: "A twisted re-imagining of the 1971 classic". So this approximately thirty-eight minute release is a cover album to the forty-four year old soundtrack of the movie: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. So will they update this classic soundtrack with some contemporary funk rock? Drum beats don't always seem to be present in these compositions. This album features the Fungi Ensemble, which is made of two specialized musicians. They both appeared on Claypool's second solo album, entitled Of Fungi and Foe (2009). Mike Dillon plays the marimba, which is a percussion instrument similar to the xylophone. He sometimes steals the spotlight with stunning solos, that command attention. Sam Bass plays the cello, which is bowed like a violin.

Primus & the Chocolate Factory plays like one of Claypool’s many passion projects. It’s entitled to live by its own convoluted logic. Unlike Burton’s, Claypool’s vision is uncompromising and unwilling to pander to the camp-loving masses, even if it’s destined to win their wholehearted approval. And if it doesn’t? Well, there’s always the candy bar business to fall back on. Essential Tracks: Candy Man, Golden Ticket, and Pure Imagination.

The Album features coordinated efforts with makers, producers and guest artists and is noted for Primus experimentation with new melodic types. Primus & the Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble was generally welcomed by critics and was designated/won distinctive awards.

Following on from a tour where Primus played a set of covers of the songs from the 1971 musical film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the band reunited with their original drummer Tim Alexander to record all the cover material into a full studio album alongside the Fungi Ensemble (aka percussionist Mike Dillon and cellist Sam Bass).

The classic Primus line up with Tim Alexander back on drums release their first full length studio album since 1995's "Tales From The Punchbowl" and it is a re-working of Willy Wonkas Chocolate factory. Primus is probably the only band that could possibly get away with this and pull it off at the same time. On the first couple of listens this album just sounds all wrong and you begin to wonder has Les Claypool finally gone too far but it would be easy and unfair to dismiss it that easily.
