Primus

Ul de Rico’s The Rainbow Goblins (1978), concerning seven beasties siphoning color from Mother Nature, parallels Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are: a dark story darkly illustrated into a children’s classic. Les Claypool, Larry LaLonde, and Tim Alexander drain it for Primus’ first studio LP with 1995’s lineup: The Desaturating Seven. Weird funk progenitor Frank Zappa would adore it. – Raoul Hernandez
