Skinny Puppy (x2)

By request: (Reviews from allmusic.com)

Skinny Puppy - Cleanse Fold & Manipulate (1987)
In the scheme of all things Skinny Puppy, Cleanse, Fold and Manipulate can be rather hard to recommend. Though it contains one of the band's finest songs, "Deep Down Trauma Hounds," Cleanse ultimately feels like a turning point, where experimentation is just beginning to gel with innovation and the band's trademark sound is forming rapidly before one's ears. But much of the album comes across like a series of interludes or ambient instrumental fragments. Still, fans of industrial music will appreciate the album's formidable beats and coarse sound samples that seem to be generated from warping the sounds of heavy machinery.

Skinny Puppy - VIVIsectVI (1988)
Even when the industrial revolution happened, few North American bands sounded as manic and dense as the mighty Skinny Puppy. Tackling unpopular political topics, blurring distorted vocals into synth lines, sampling news broadcasts and horror films -- these were the tactics that Skinny Puppy utilized on VIVIsectVI, one of their true masterpieces. It takes multiple listens to the album to even get to the songs underneath, but once the sonic wall has been punctured it is easy to hear why Ogre is so volatile. His rants, which alternate between a lazy drug moan and a harsh screech, were one of the few in the genre that actually sounded poetic amongst the noise and beats.

Thanks Mr A! I still visit Wine, Women & Song quite frequently.

Anonymous: no prob w/ Hell Awaits but not sure which Supernaut you meant? I'm assuming the Revolting Cocks version rather than the original Black Sabbath version.

I used to have the Wax Trax Black Box set w/ all the jourgensen side projects and one-offs. Doesn't seem to be in my list anymore though.
If I happen to find it I'll post it for sure. :)

I got the VIVIsectVI album on cassette before going to a Puppy show around the time this was released. The opening band was 'Kitten With A Whip' quite the line up. I can't remember of hearing of Kitten before or since, but I seem to remember their set as being pretty good at the time.

Thanks for the Skinny Puppy downloads - I have all of these albums at home but I'm sitting here at work and all of a sudden had the urge to listen to more SP than what I currently had on my laptop. Nice blog, think I'll look around some more!
