--> Hi,

Inspired by some nostalgic messages w/ mlbot, I've been revisiting much of the old Skinny Puppy catalog. I just want to open the floodgates of love for those guys in their heydays. I mean, seriously, Rabies, Cleanse Fold & Manipulate, Vivisect6 etc. everything through Last Rights really are such gorgeous gems of indignant, righteous protest music, with soooo much innovative sound design and approaches to e-composition.

Skinny Puppy is the shit.

So there.

I love them, too, to this very day, no nostalgia necessary.

I think I missed the boat on these guys, haha... I think I have to check them out

hell yes to aircrash bureau. and kode vi mad me thing of a few others that i like... stereotaxic device being one.

and how could i leave off babyland. they are still doing it. if you get a chance to see them it is worth it, completely. however, i feel that their description of their music - electro junk punk - is a more apt description of their music than "industrial."

DAF

i could never get into electric hellfire club or my life with the thrill kill kult. how odd was it when i found out that the the guy that started electric hellfire club used to be in my life with the thrill kill kult?

Einstuerzende Neubauten anyone? and i'm going to see Peter Murphy tonight, so excited!!

more industrial nostalgia:
machines of loving grace
sister machine gun
kmfdm
front line assembly
god lives underwater
coil
throbbing gristle
pigface
pitchfork
stabbing westward
& more that i cant remember

did you seriously include stabbing westward on that list? :P

oof

I still listen to Too Dark Park and Last Rights all the Time but Cleanse Fold Manipulate is the desert island record for me. It was the bible for me and my friends for a long time. A close runner up would be Vivisect which is equally brilliant (body count intensify...gives me chills to even think about that album).

I've been trying to get into their newer albums. The only one I really can deal with is The Greater Wrong of the Right which at least has some amazing moments on it.

This thread is great. I'm really happy to find I'm not alone because I still listen to SPK, Cab, TG and my Some Bizzare records.

some other back in the day industrial and related:

Hunting Lodge
Black Iron Door
Coup de Grace
Sleep Chamber(well they had to get mentioned)
of course Psychic TV
Maybe Mental(controlled bleeding side project)
The Hafler Trio
Nurse With Wound
Current 93
Death in June

Foetus was that one that got away for me. I'm a big hater of Richard Kern films and he is in a lot of them(as Clint Ruin)so I wrote him off. But I heard some stuff recently that was so good I wished I had picked more of his stuff back in the day.

Sorry. this was supposed to be about skinny puppy. um skinny puupy rules!

I'm really enjoying Back and Forth Vol. 2: aka. fun in the rehearsal studio with Skinny Puppy. Mostly because of the improvisational nature, and also the Moogs, SCI's and Roland drum machines all fuxxord by Kevin at the desk. Sure the quality is bad, and it's pre-DRG, but if you see through that, it's alot of fun. Closer to the music I like to make.

okay, i conced; rabies isn't that bad. "facist jockitch" is not good and "tin omen" is moderatly tolerable. other than that, it is decent. plus "rivers" and "choralone" were combined to make "riverz end" which is probably my favorite skinny puppy song.
