Music > Skinny Puppy Submitted by: fatalist On: 2001-08-01 Genre: industrial electronic experimental Unofficial Site: Skinny Puppy Central Best songs: Assimilate Testure Worlock Smothered Hope Assimilate Hardset Head, Death Dig It Spasmolytic Killing Game Description, by fatalist An absolute legend of the Industrial scene, Skinny Puppy kept re-inventing the scene over and over again. The Canadian trio made many releases on the Nettwerk label, releases that some consider are so dark that they can only be listened to on fine sunny days when the birds are singing! Raw electronics and paranoid vocals accompany spastic beats, rhythms and enjoyable theatrical over-the-top live shows. They inspired so many bands that the scene wouldn't be as it is today! Although they split in 1995 due to the death of keyboardist D. Goettel, rumour has it that Skinny Puppy live shows are around the corner.

So cluttered with samples & noise that it can seem inpenetrable upon first listen. If you dig deep enough, however, you'll find the fragile beauty hidden beneath. Despite the overall density of the record, Last Rights spawned the hit Killing Game. A true masterpiece & at the time, a fitting send off.

See best track results Featured comment (2/3) by Bastard on 2001-12-23 Innovative, Calculated, Lively yet haunting. If you don't mind listening to music a few times before you can really appreciate it, anyone can get into this. The only bad thing about this collection is the fact that it doesn't contain Hardset Head or Cult. But that just means you have to get "The Process" too, Which is far from a bad thing as it's equally top class stuff throughout. I wasn't greatly into the more electronic industrial stuff untill I listened to some puppy tracks, and they've really opened me up to the whole scene. Highly reccomended, Seriously a Must-buy.

See best track results Featured comment (1/1) by cyberdruid on 2002-03-26 Probably best described as audio surrealism in a techno-experimental vein. This a gruesome trip through the minds of some very strange people indeed. High lights are the frightening 'Spasmolytic' and the insane 'Convulsion'. A terrifying album, yet as a whole, much more accessible than any of their previous works. Consistently high quality. 9/10 [ Submit a comment about this album | Buy ] Vivi Sect VI Music type: industrial Best track on the album: Testure You have to log in before you can vote! See best track results Featured comment (4/4) by gordon_t_goth on 2003-08-14 an incredibly advanced album for its time, considering it came out in '88 and predates both nin and ministry's first industrial doodlings. taking the form of an album long blast against vivisection and other animal rights issues, it is a dark and complex piece of work, difficult to get into yet worth the effort when you finally do work it out. particularly poigniant, given current world events, is 'vx gas attack' about the gassing of a kurdish village in the iran-iraq war, way back in the day when the international community couldn't give a sod about WMD's. otherwise, 'harsh stone white' and 'dogshit' set the mould for the next ten years of industrial music. iconic.
