Thanks |
||||||||
|

|
|
i can help you. have you heard any of their songs yet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I should have said reccomend me some Skinny Puppy releases. Please do not say "I reccomend Skinny Puppy". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I saw the last little bit of the video for "The Killing Game" and a kid in my highschool music class did a project on them 4 years ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i cant help you, cause i think they're quite dodgy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's a great song, but one of their most challenging albums... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the process, last rights. too dark park. i can't really listen to them anymore, but those were the records i liked the best from them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, the really early stuff is like dark wave/horror/synth pop. i think that a good starting point to that period is mind: the perpetual intercourse. then the middle period of more rock-influenced stuff: rabies. make sure you only buy the remastered version! too dark park is nice and accessible. so is the process. "last rights" is a flawless album, but it is one of their more difficult to penetrate records. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, i didn't even mean to say mind: the perpetual intercourse - i meant "cleanse, fold & manipulate". sorry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
their newest "reunion" album, "the greater wrong of the right" would probably appeal most to electronica fans. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

r40f has summed it up pretty well, I think. Your best bet is probably just to jump right in and try an album or two. I might also recommend also recommend Back & Forth vol. 5, which is a live recording from 2000 of the first show they did after breaking up in '95. Come to think of it, it was their first show the Last Rights tour in 91-92. Anyway, it's got a nice mix of all the different periods and sounds really nice. Their new one is quite IDM. (whatever that means) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My personal favorite is Last Rights. It's probably the hardest album to penetrate. However, when I first "got" it, it hit my like a ton of bricks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Brap is awesome minimal dark ambient like i've never heard from Skinny Puppy before... |
||||||||
|
|

too scary for me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd go for "Rabies". "warlock" and "Tin Omen" are )were) great tracks. I haven't heard them in 10 years, so....... I remember both those were my favourites. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and you can also check my stuff under bazaar / op-ep : http://www.project168.com some people find it's near Cevin key's work...and it's free stuff The Op-ep will be re-released on a new net-label : metanoïa media, with new tracks...and a new project will be released in july |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
begin with TOO DARK PARK [1990]. mind fucking and psychotic. and for some more hardcore adventure check "remission & bites" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Last Rights is amazing... very addictive and satisfying stuff. easily the best industrial album ever made, imo. i think no band has ever come close to making such dense sound and dark sonic collages that Key and Goettel created on this album...it's easy to see their influence on electronica scene. Too Dark Park is excellent and a good starting point, as Obara said. also, i agree with Asjbfoo that 'Doomsday: Back & Forth 5' [Live in Dresden] is a VERY good recording. kinda 'greatest hits live'. if you're new to Skinny Puppy, this one is strongly recommended :) Rabies is good, but i think it has a bit too much of that Ministry-ish sound (as far as i know, this album was produced by Al Jourgensen from Ministry). oh, and The Process is pure ear candy. you'll love it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, there are a few Skinny Puppy side projects that are more electronica-oriented, and some of this stuff is even better than SP, i think. i'd recommend: cEvin Key - The Ghost Of Each Room. an excellent electronic album that proves that Key has always been one of the most talented musicians out there. Download - Sidewinder EP; The Eyes Of Stanley Pain. if you like intense, greatly produced stuff, get it. V/A - Paradigm Shift: A Subconscious Compilation. this comp pretty much gives the 'taste' of Skinny Puppy related projects. excellent stuff and top-notch production (as anything Puppy-related :) |

i haven't heard Last Rights for a long time, as i remember it's more melodic than Too Dark Park. ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not sure about Last Rights being more melodic, but Killing Game is definitely one of Puppy's most melodic and emotional tracks... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and probably the whole album seems more melodic cause of that one track :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm gonna listen to Last Rights today, after i finish listening to Benzo. I don't like Skinny Puppy yet, Cevin Key solo work and Download except 2 tracks - chrysantemum, which bothers me anyway by its 2 note bass "riff" repeated for several minutes, and the first one on the same album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have four Download albums they are pretty good. Charlie's Family is similiar to Confield in its abstract nature. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd go for Rabies first, it's got Worlock is a bit of an all-purpose, rock solid SP tune. And, like, some other good tunes. Last Rights is probably my favorite though. Some of it sucks the air right out of my lungs. Yeah fuck it, go for Last Rights first. Also you might want to check out Tear Garden, cEvin Key + Edward Kaspel of the Legendary Pink Dots. Stupendous! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes collaboration Cevin Key + Edward Kaspel are great... Legendary pink dots made some amazing stuff too in late 80' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my favorite Skinny Puppy, and one of my top 5 all time albums is Last Rights. considering when it was made it is a marvel of technical mastery and it rocks pretty hard too. Too Dark Park is my second favorite. much more straight forward than Last Rights but just as horrifying. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and while you're at it, 'Furnace' by Download is pretty fucking tight. the song 'Bee Hatch' is one of my favorites. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if by 'melodic' you mean 'terrifying' then i agree totally. but i'm sure that's not what you meant by 'melodic' Nobody has done terror-industrial like Skinny Puppy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Legendary Pink Dots put on a great live show. they still tour from time to time. i should relax. i'm posting too frequently. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, last rights is definitely one of their best achievements. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was referring to Killing Game only, which IS a melodic track.. and by 'melodic', i mean 'melodic' :) but yeah, you're totally right - the whole album is the most intense and terrifying stuff they've done |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have a single collection by them nice stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks everyone. I'm currently watching a last rights auction on ebay. I hope the music is better than the album art (0_0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha - it definitely is. give it your full attention and plenty of patience. it's worth it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like the earliest albums most of all... its early 80s electro/synth pop from zelda's dark world, or something... its good for people who like that early 80s synth/drum machine sound.. the newest album i didn't like at all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Smothered Hope blows my mind. I didn't really like the new one either, kind of workmanlike. No special sounds, no endearing flaws. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Riverz End is so fucking good. sooo fucking good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's a version of Riverz End they did for the LaLaLa Human Steps dance group that's got an electric guitar solo... odd and neat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
from what i've heard, sk pupy is much more linear/less interesting than other bill leeb rhys projects. But they have some very awesome albums such as noise unit "drill". That album is atmospheric and dark/"industrial" as hell, but it leans more toward "linear idm" than linear-boring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Leeb was only really involved with Skinny Puppy early on (and i don't think Rhys ever was involved)... i dunno about the linear thing though... i wouldn't rate Leeb higher than any of the SP boys really... all of them have made shit, all of them have made decent stuff... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, awesome track. it gave me major goosebumps when i first heard it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm looking fwd to next Legendary tour, i must see them finally ! They like to come to Poland so i might be lucky this time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
12 inch anthology. i find that the most fun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my favorite track on last rights has always been scrapyard. that song is fucking awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The best side project they did was Doubting Thomas, there is one album and I reccomend you pick it up. I have all of Skinny Puppys stuff and I have to be in the mood for it now although the album I listened to the most is Too Dark Park. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
find me brap 1 and 2 plz. thx all love, D. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've got a n-th generation dubbed copy of Brap 1. The differences with Brap 2 are slight. Some delay at the end of a track and mix levels a tad different on some track. That said, it's probably not worth looking for since you can easily purchase (or pirate, if you're so inclined) a copy of Brap 2 and have (almost) the same thing. |
