I was fucking around on www.pandora.com and I searched for Chromeo...Then i got this fucking GREAT song by Fred Avril and now i'm listening to Skinny Puppy! Anyone recommend a good Skinny Puppy album for a skinny puppy newbie? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You are now listening to Skinny Puppy! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes! although I liked the Fred Avril song more... skinny puppy is cool. by the way, Chromeo's "me and my man" is a fucking great song. soooooo gay/funny in a great way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Who is Fred Avril? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
search for him on www.pandora.com i've only heard one song called "the date" but it's fuckin' awesome. it's like a mix of prince and IDM. the production on the beat even sounds like Bola's production, it's crunchy like he's using noise and envelops nakedly, without many filters. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ahh damn, I have not listened enough. I'm listening to 'Assimilate' right now and it's great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's 'Assimilate'? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I only have Too Dark Park but it's fantastic. So I guess I can reccommend that. I have a burned copy of their singles collection too, which is good, but it's not very coherent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I only have Too Dark Park also heh, but I have some random mp3's of older songs, two especially 'Assimilate' and 'Dig It', I think I like it better than the stuff on Too Dark Park. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I heard a track off the new record and i thought it sounded great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh that's right, they had a new album sort of recently. I seem to remember listening and thinking it was really very bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, maybe there's one good track. but anyways, you should listen to Fred Avril because it's really solid. I rarely react to music this much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
www.pandora.com is cool anyone else use it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't seem to listen to Fred Avril because it searches for stuff OTHER THAN Fred Avril when I type that in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it'll play eventually |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
by far the best skinny puppy album is Last Rights but if you are a bit of a novice, i recommend Rabies, or Too Dark Park. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think i'll buy Too Dark Park |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Last Rights. yes yes yes yes. Rarndaraki, get this album next! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sadly, you were incorrect. their new album is quite great and someone who hears one of the tracks will surely enjoy most of the others. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*someone who likes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, and the video for Protest is awesome. goth breakdancers! gotta check it out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ohhh... aww.... i had forgotten all about that and was happily pretending it never existed... :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You won't be disappointed. The album is complex, dark, epic, and bizarrely gorgeous. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not much music is more intense than Last Rights. Killing Game gets to a mo'fukkin' fever pitch like I can't believe. I'd go with that but you can't go wrong with Too Dark Park or Cleanse or anything. I've got a soft spot for Remission and it might be my favorite but I wouldn't recommened it over the newest, it probably wouldn't make the impression the later ones can. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

It seems that the most commonly cited favorite Skinny Puppy albums are Too Dark Park and Last Rights. I would definately go with one of those. Last Rights can be quite intense at times. Please ignore whoever said the new album was horrible, and give it a listen for yourself. Also, be sure to look up and albums by Download. Furnace and The Eyes of Stanley Pain have a lot of the Skinny Puppy intensity. While III is a masterpiece of ambient techno (or whatever, it's easily one of my all time favorties. I'm willing to say there's not a track on it that's not incredible) |

P.S. My icon is from a Download album cover.... if anyone cares |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
12 inch anthology .. absolute classic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah doubting thomas and plateau as well. so many brilliant side projects. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DOWNLOAD. the eyes of stanley pain...\ this album is quite simply AMAZING. listening to Suni C. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Their side project Doubting Thomas is worth picking up. The only Skinny Puppy album I would avoid is The Process, the new album 'The Greater Wrong of the Right' is fantastic. Autechre do a remix of the Killing Game on 'Remix Dystemper' which really isn't that good but interesting non the less. But the original track on 'Last Rights' is great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really like remission as well. many memories. it's very different though than the later stuff. very 80's sounding. it's from a time when the skinny puppy guys all had hair like Robert Smith. 010101: I agree The Process is certainly lacking, but there are a couple pretty good trax on there. 'Candle' for one is a damn good track. but overall the album has little continuity, the absense of goettel is quite apparant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for me EVERYTHING after theProcess.. i didnt really get into the early sp, and still from time to time try to listen to it, but it just doenst suit me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dood. Dood... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
far........................................................ for me Too Dark Park is the peak of their creativness so ............. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
THE PROCESS and everything after that :) have you seen the dvd yet ? the live set looks good, i really should have seen them 3 hours away, but it would have ran about $100.00 or so...gas prices being high at the time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the process is the black licorice album for sure, but i love it like all their other music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't seen the DVD, but i did see them live at the Showbox when they toured. It was fabulous, much better than i had predicted. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooh, netflix has the DVD *adds to queue* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just fyi, evolume, Goettel was around for most of the production of The Process. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks for the info. i'll make a note of it here... scribbles on post-it. attaches it to cd case |
||||||||

Hello Hello Hello Thanks to all that replied here. I’ll start by listening to “Too Dark Park” as that seems like a good starter; it’s still early(ish) in their career. Although the new one seems to be really good, based on what I’ve heard. Maybe I’ll buy both. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a fantastic album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I met Dave Ogilvie and it turns out I have known Dale Plevin who played bass with them for the last 4 years or so. Both are really nice guys!! I was a real fan boy!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was this weekend and I have been listening too their stuff non stop since!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did he mention anything about a new album of any sorts ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, he is working on the Jackalope project and the live DVD will be out soon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
brap is nice. i like 3 and 4... although i have never heard 1 and 2. the process is prolly my fave, the latest isn't too good imo. but download... god i love the eyes of stanley pain. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool, i had the opportunity to meet cevin key at a Legendary Pink Dots show years ago, but haha, couldn't get up the nerve to harass him. don't know why. usually i don't have a problem approaching "celebrities." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dale was around at my place last night. We listened to Skinny Puppy and the conversation went like this: Yep, that was me, I don't remember that one, Orge was off his face when we were doing this one it took about two weeks..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
