Mysticism, magic, sorcery, heroes,
feuding gods and the battle between
good and evil — the legend of "Chimera
is a tapestry of Balinese ritual and folk
lore.
Inspired by the ritualistic dance-dra
mas of Bali. "Chimera" was conceived
by Janet Descutner, associate professor of
dance, and Jerry Williams, professor and
director of University Theater This is
their second collaboration inspired by
the performance arts of Asia. In the 1989
90 season, they created the award win
ning and acclaimed "Kabuki/Bacchae."
"Bali is most definitely the garden of
the Gods.” said Descutner, who has also
studied Indian ami Japanese dance "It
is a society most replete with the love of

Basically. Pork Soda is just another
Primus album.
That's what bass guitarist La*
Claypool says, and that's good or f
bad depending on what you expect L
from and like about the San Fran
cisco-based trio.
The hand's first work since the KP
Miscellaneous Debris, fork Soda, which
will be in stores beginning next Tuesday, is « ^
mix of everything that’s great about Primus. Hut
other than being the latest album from the group,
it’s really nothing new.
Claypool still sings about characters in a world
only he knows, and his tales ore always accompa
nied by his unique bass rhythms.
Drummer Tim Alexander plays his standard high
hat and cymbal beats, and besides on "Wounded
Knee." a percussion piece where he plays every

find anything ns catchy or as MTV-lileruie as those
two on I’nrk Soda.
Primus stays true to itself, and because of it. there
