Skinny Puppy Artist Snapshot:

Vancouver's Skinny Puppy took the somewhat scattershot rage of industrial pioneers like Throbbing Gristle and gave it focus--exploring the endless catalogue of evils of which mankind is capable, all in lyrically graphic detail. Though not as commercially successful as the like-minded if somewhat more rock-oriented Ministry, Skinny Puppy never wavered from their extreme vision. After producing their savage brand of sonic assault for nearly a decade, the band disbanded in 1995 after the heroin overdose death of keyboardist Dwayne Goettel, but reformed in 2000. Skinny Puppy's THE GREATER WRONG OF THE RIGHT album/tour drew the ire of Republicans during the 2004 election for its musical disparagement of President George W. Bush.

THE SINGLES COLLECTION collects tracks originally appearing between 1984 and 1991. Released the same day as a companion volume, B-SIDES COLLECTION, THE SINGLES is a non-chronological, yet curiously cohesive collection of industrial dance music. On early Puppy albums, individual songs tended to be overrun by the powerful vitriol of the record as a whole. On later ones, the interesting tracks were occasionally obscured by less interesting filler material. This collection draws together a number of tracks and, in doing so, gives each one the attention it deserves while simultaneously maintaining a level of constancy not heard since 1988's VIVISECT VI.

"Worlock Ed," a remix of Worlock from RABIES, is quintessential Skinny Puppy--Charles Manson samples, guitar riffs from "Helter Skelter," and Nivek Ogre's strangled, buried vocals. "Tin Omen," also from that album, features the band at its most Ministry-like, all clanging guitars and pummeling drum machines (no surprise given that the co-producer was Al Jourgensen). "Censor" opens with a whirl of synthesized distortion before mutating into a rather twisted, jerking dance beat. "Stairs and Flowers" is a slowly morphing metallic beast, that comes complete with heavily-amplified groans and cries, a more distorted vocal than usual, and weirdly stately sounding string samples.
