Reunited with classic-era drummer Tim Alexander, Les Claypool leads the eccentric funk-metal trio through a bizarre, track-by-track reinterpretation of the 1971 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory' soundtrack. The unsettling, heavily percussive arrangements utilize marimbas, vibraphones, and Claypool's distinctively creepy vocal inflections to amplify the terrifying psychedelia of the original film.
