(8 Customer Reviews)
Primus' major label debut (and third release overall), 1991's SAILING THE SEAS OF CHEESE had a long chart life, eventually being Primus' first release to go gold and break the band to a wider audience. Basssist/singer Les Claypool's bizarre sense of humor runs rampant through out--igniting such tracks as the stomping "Here Come the Bastards," the "Full Metal Jacket"-esque "Sgt. Baker," the explosive "Jerry Was A Race Car Driver," and the long and winding "Those Damned Blue Collar Tweekers." Also featured was a new version of "Tommy the Cat," featuring Tom Waits on vocals. Regrettably, SAILING THE SEAS OF CHEESE was Primus' last truly classic release.
Primus: Les Claypool (vocals, bass); Larry "Ler" LaLonde (guitar); Tim "Herb" Alexander (drums).
Additional personnel: Tom Waits (vocals); Mike Bordin, Butt House.
Spin (6/91, p.78) - Highly Recommended - "...waves of wackiness...awesome bass slapping...these tunes are definitely big fun..." Q (5/95, p.130) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...catches their tight, cartoon funk at its best. When it works....it's a little like the late Jane's Addiction, with fewer histrionics. The lyrical mix of shaggy dog stories and mock protest are from the silly but cool school..."

Psst...and for those of you out there who are fans of the Brit series "The Young Ones" listen for Rik and Ade shouting "You Bastards" on the end track re-hash of Los Bastardos...

Bastards! popping bass lines, wild squeeling guitars,grooving drums, and redneck/circus freak storytelling vocals. yep, this is what insanity must feel like.

$6.69 Primus continues down its path of the quirky song. Bass phenom Les Claypool and his cohorts have previously Frizzle Fried, Sucked, and Sailed The Seas Of Cheese. Now, it seems, they have been to the Punchbowl, and have lived to tell its Tales. If you could take an element of Doctor Seuss, add some Fishbone and a bit of Tom Waits, you'd probably get something very strange, totally unlike Primus--but probably the nearest thing possible. They have harnessed the all-mighty powers of weirdness, and have made them their own: "It's alright," they say, "don't ...

Sailing The Seas Of Cheese songs
$12.59 Primus is sometimes considered a square peg in a round hole amongst the band's musical peers. Yet somehow, Les Claypool and company have always managed a perfect fit. On ANTIPOP, the band continues on its fearless musical journey. The impressive roster of guest artists is only part of the reason why this album is a must for music fans who walk their own paths.
Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello brings his percussive and unnerving guitar sound to "Electric Uncle Sam" and "Mama Didn't Raise No Fool." On the tongue-in-cheek "Sacred Cow," Les Claypool's distinctive slap-bass style shines. Guitarist Larry LaLonde is conservative yet brilliant in his moody, textural playing that is fitting without ever being flashy. "Eclectic ...

Sailing The Seas Of Cheese songs
$18.79 It's under-represented in the age of the CD reissue, but often roots reggae and early dancehall were first made available in 12" versions that were really the future A-side and the future B-side version mashed closely together. Despite the simplicity, the device worked well, pleasingly extending the grooves past the five-minute mark while giving some impression of how the legendary sound systems of Jamaica would segue versions and dubs while working an audience. The Moll-Selekta label will win over the reggae 12" collector's heart with this compilation of hard to find extended mixes from the sweet-voiced Sugar Minott. Best news of all, the collection sounds phenomenal with the Basic Channel label's deep lathe wizard Moritz Von Oswald handling the ear-bud-killing, thumping remastering and "restoration." Compare the remastered and extended "A Slice of Cake" to the original and it's obvious how the slow, angry simmer of the track works better here. Lighter material like the sweet "African Girl" benefits from this treatment, too, as the track joyfully skips down the road for eight minutes with dub version trailing. It's also the track to check to see if you agree with Von Oswald's mastering, which doesn't mind pushing the meter into the red if it means the low end is gonna shake. As for Minott ...
