lol what a funny expression. at first I thought you were talking
about being a performance artist, standing naked in front of a crowd,
literally. Then I realized that you were using a metaphor.
quoted 6 lines I've tried, really.

They did something with sound and rhythm that I can't quite explain.
It's probably got something to do with a Korg MS-20, and some high
quality marijuana. Ha ha.
I saw them twice and loved them. I think people either love or hate
them. And that's ok with me. Anyway, you might like an album called
"The Infidel" by Doubting Thomas. That's pretty much (and literally)
Skinny Puppy without the Vocals. A little more ambient.
Download: I saw download too. When they launched into their version
of "Dig It" I almost... wow. I'm one of the "III" people... I loved
it, thought it was amazing. And cEvin's solo albums are the shit. A
few of the tracks on "The Ghost of Each Room" are pretty IDM, IMO.
Listen to "Sklang" ...
