"Being a guy that has made many records over the past few decades, published a novel, directed videos and a feature film as well as having collaborated with the heros like Tom Waits, Geddy Lee, Stewart Copeland, Bernie Worrell, Trey Anastasio and others; it wasn’t 'til this moment, where I’ve been immortalized in a pinball machine, did I really feel like I’ve “made the big time”.

Primus and the Chocolate Factory
Primus and the Chocolate Factory reflects the 1971 movie's soundtrack like a funhouse mirror. The formerly endearing "Pure Imagination" becomes a teetering carnival ride, while "Golden Ticket" is a twisted march led by Claypool's hammered bass. In Primus' hands, the benevolent chocolatier of "Candy Man" is transformed into a raving Bellevue inmate.
