Skinny Puppyis an influential industrialband, formed in 1982 by core members cEvin Key(Kevin Crompton) and Nivek Ogre ( ohGr) (Kevin Ogilvie) in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Inspired by the groundbreaking music of Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristleand others, Skinny Puppy experimented with electronic recording techniques and methods. Skinny Puppy composed multi-layered music generally using keyboards, synthesizers, found sounds, drum machines, live percussion, tape splices, and samplers. Whereas many contemporary remixes and re-edits of songs were created in order to make a song more suitable for dancing or different radio formats, Skinny Puppy approached remixing and re-editing as an artistic process of reinterpreting compositions, often using remixes to push their sound into styles of ambient, duband techno. Skinny Puppy's first two proper releases, Bitesand Remission, fall somewhere between the found-sound chaos of early Cabaret Voltaire and the abrasive, futuristic synthpop of the Units or Crash Course in Science.

Skinny Puppy
level edge backs against the ledge no knives the stone hard eyes without the longing
or fear that it would disappear they cling on nuturing never ending obsessions on the
table lines needed walls cover tips the balance don't touch me wiped out cornering
mouthed the word money head shake handshake out to get a long way from corrosion
pushes closer to the edge wired not connected peeling back plastic wrap tinted green
and all illusion existing caught up crossfire trading tall tales where are you going whe
re do you fail whats that mean back and forth side by side loose knot weave keep it up
altogether or whatever that means passing underneath the trespass dont get to close
mouth the word your money if I fade I may and I want to fade away all that I do is pray
that you will be there too if this were trying to deceive some minds what the hell do
you got to say? altogether
