Of all the Skinny Puppy side projects, I heavily reccomend the two (well, one and a half) releases by Doubting Thomas. By far the best work they did, IM not so HO. clockwise np: Fugees "The Score"

Download III definetly sounds most like the doubting thomas era work ... also pick up plateau's music for grass bars ... its sorta like a warm up for download III ... which in my opinion is the best work mr key has had his name on since the doubting thomas stuff ... its very refreshing to see him not rely on a vocalist or someone else to cover his music (even doubting thomas leans on samples in the foreground too much) ... mr key is an incredible instrumentalist and a very accomplished sonic artist ... and his last 2 albums show that off beautifully m.

actually, they show that dwayne goettel and mr. valcic and are accomplished "sonic artists" (how fucking pretentious is THAT?) and that mr. key can accompany them well. - wells oliver : s0ewoliv@titan.vcu.edu "all these things we'll one day swallow whole and fade out again and fade out again"

Yes, some of the Skinny Puppy stuff is fairly abrasive, but Doubting Thomas is missing Ogre, SP's singer and a main cause of SP's abrasiveness. Download and Doubting Thomas are also more electronic than alot of SP albums, although the 2 download cds i have; Furnace, and The Eyes of Stanley Pain have Genesis P'Orridge (of Psychic-TV) doing annoying vocal bits over several of the tracks. Luckily III is missing this.

Of Skinny Puppy stuff, I would recommend checking out some of the older stuff, like Bites, or Remission. There is also a double cd that has one cd of older stuff that is amazing. np: Plug - Drum n' Bass For Papa (the second disc of collected eps is way better than the full length IMHO) Brian e-mail: electro19@hotmail.com ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
