The song Mushroom Men on this release is a more in depth version of the theme song from the video game. Additionally a jam session with Gogol Bordello's charismatic front-man Eugene Hutz turned into the track "Bite Out Of Life".
Since his last album release, 2006's "Of Whales and Woe", Claypool has been busy with his films, scoring other's films and video games while having fun out on tour. This album is a collection of songs inspired by the projects he has been working on over the past few year.
Long acknowledged as one of rock's leading bassists, Claypool began branching out from the alt-rock sound of Primus in 2000, starting Colonel Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, courting the jam band audience and beyond. Selling over 500,000 cd's since then under a few different band names (including Oysterhead with the Police's Stewart Copeland and Trey Anastasio of Phish), Claypool put out the career spanning DVD "5 Gallons of Diesel" in 2005 and the live tour DVD "Fancy" in 2007.
