SKINNY PUPPY REBORN
The news of Skinny Puppy's reformation, which Ogre casually mentioned in
his post a few days ago (see below), has started to spread.

on it in a story

will be involved in the reunion. This is not the case.

With the hectic fervor surrounding this news, a lot of confusion as to
what is going on has already proliferated. Here's the straight scoop
from cEvin himself.
"Actually me, Omar, and Statik are working on new SP with Ogre
and Mark Walk. We will probably do some tracks with friends
joining...including Ken."
So there you have it. New Skinny Puppy material featuring both cEvin and
Ogre is in the early, generative stages. If you're wondering who the
additional people mentioned above are, here's the rundown. Omar Torres
is one of the new faces at Subcon who worked on The Ghost of Each Room
and is part of the software company

Mark Walk is Ogre's collaborator on the ohGr project who first came into
the fold back during the Process sessions. Ken Marshall is a long-time
Puppy associate who worked in an engineering and production capacity on
a number of recordings, most recently the Ogre/cEvin collaboration
Frozen Sky. Finally, Statik is the man behind the music of
