Great job! I’m a lifelong SP fan. Nice to see the younger generation experiencing their music. For me too dark park and last rights are the pinnacle of industrial.
good video! rating for me. KYO XD: 9.5 Cheerleader: 10 Russian Roulette: 10 Perfect Pinterest Garden: 9.2 Year Of The Cup: 9.8 Kitsune Maison Freestyle: 9.8 Mona Lisa: 9.5 ITRNH?: 10 Everything To Me: 9.5 im gonna say it... 10/10
the piano melody from mean girls refuses to leave my head.
The Process started out hard for all of us puppy people... but after some time & listening to it again and again, The Process has become one of Puppy's best albums to a lot of us. It doesn't overtake Too Dark Park or even Last Rights... but I love The Process!
YEAH!!!
Bro skipped Lego Feet??????
dubnobasswithmyheadman was definitely my favourite underworld album of all time, and I grew up listening to underworld for a long time 👏😎
Loving this collection! Personally I still collect CDs for my car (mostly because of the money 😂) but I love vinyls all the same
you're really good at describing music - such a banal thing for me to say but its so clear to me that youre a music fan, loved hearing your thoughts on this album! (edit: also your room decor rules)
Yess, I'm so glad your reactions are back! Been waiting for this one for a while😁🙏🏻 your energy is so infectious, it's so fun watching you just go crazy to Charli XCX 😂
right, so icebreaker did indeed originally come from bites, and when it was added to remission they created the track manwhole (which you spoke of at 2:58) and it's basically the same intro except it becomes a different song, so I think the made it as a kind of "reimagining"
30 ans d'écoute pour moi, et tout le reste en électro me semble fade et creux, ou énervé et creux. Heureux de voir la relève des fans ;) big bizou
always like the small hidden clap effect in Genesis, riped from 50 cent - in the club. I always amazed by that fact, when a new french electronic band or personel droped their very first album they became a big hit. Daft punk - Homework Air - Moon Safari Cassius - 1999 Justice - Cross Jarre - Oxygen The Blaze - Dancehall
37:40, you forgot worst album cover.
What a nice personality you are
'Chiastic Slide' is my personal favorite in their discography. Timeless sound.
Thank you SO MUCH for the time and effort that you put into making this video! I’ve been a Skinny Puppy fan since 1983. I’ve gone through there complete discography at least 20 times since then. Every single thing that you’ve said in this video is completely open-minded and 100% accurate. Couldn’t agree with you more my friend! Thank you for doing this!!!!
i dont understand dont get upset
'Too Dark Park' is amazing. My second favorite would be 'Bites' followed by 'Rabies.' Never really could get into Vivisect, its too chaotic and jumbled.
The first 2 Download albums has arguably the best and final work of Dwayne Gottel. They were made inbewteen the recording of the process and its release. Highly recommend. Totally different beast then skinny puppy.
Autechre is a rabbit hole, really. you have all of the 90s stuff which is already a lot and then all the post LP5 works. you need sometimes several listening to really appreciate an album, some of them are long and you always seem to discover something new each time you listen to something. I wish I could listen to their music for the time again.
Im so sad i didn't get to ask a question in time but i might as well ask anyway Do you listen to Australian indie artists? if so what are your favourites? Mune are world champion, The holidays and ladyhawke
It seems like we have the exact same taste in books as well as music! I finished lotr last year and started The Silmarillion last week after finishing the mistborn trilogy lol. Since you liked the poetic nature of lotr, I strongly recommend reading The Silmarillion if you haven't already. I have only read the first four chapters, but it is almost even more beautiful than lotr.
Thank you for answering my question!
Aphex the goat !! Went to that Forwards gig too, honestly changed my life, it was phenomenal. The whole set was a cherry on top of one consistent, smashing EU tour . The ONE track I wanted to see live, Mangle 11 (the choon you played in an example clip for the show), and the geezer played it to line up that magnificent noise wall crescendo. Life sorted!! Shoutout Weirdcore and Ze.Zima (Alfie Dwyer) for them extravagant visuals, especially the one where all of his iconic characters were on the tube. That dubstep track you talking about is Gauss Cannon by Nullboy. It was sooo out of the blue and he managed to pull it off sooo cohesively !! The whole jungle section too, he played Red Light - Selektah and displayed aphexified Bristolian legends in the background. Everyone booed at JK Rowling and everyone cheered for Sophie! Poetic justice 😮💨😮💨. Eitherway, S is rightfully deserved for that. Hoping in another 4 - 5 years time, he’ll do another tour!
Yoooo I got a shoutout on an Animus video!!! 🔥 Thx so much, I love your expansion on the soundtrack question 😃
I definitely agree with the Dune 2021 soundtrack being amazing 💯
Heyyy, thanks for answering my question 😁
Sorry about the focus being a bit off! Also I realise I gave 6 answers for the five album question - sorry sibelius, you gotta go
You missed 1 very big important issue The Process had, which is why it sounded so disjointed. The band was fighting, Ogre left the band at this time, having drug related issues, and they signed with American Recordings. American Recordings wanted to change their sound to be less "Skinny Puppy", and to structure towards an accessible NIN sound. Which they were fighting trying to not go down that direction, with all the other chaos going on in the background.
The spine tingle you feel when you hear a sample in a movie or TV show!! Reminds you that you were a weird teenager. All of the sudden you can see the matrix for a second then bleeds away.
2015 cacola was so goated dude
Wow. So awesome to see a youngster into music like this and talking about it. Nice one 😁
awesome stuff dude
Let's fucking GO
awesome review. cacola's my favourite artist and it's really nice to see an in depth review of her discography. sub world unknown is probably one of my favourite album's of hers surprisingly, mainly due to how i interpret its story. through the tone of the tracks and the titles, it feels like someone going through a very religiously traumatising childhood before slowly learning to love life, as we go from darker tracks such as godslave and no hellfire hot enough to more melancholic with i want to be apart of your world (nice wordplay there) and finally to the only somewhat happy track with hope, in alignment. i want to be apart of your world specifically is one of my favourite songs by her, feeling so raw in its emotions and how they're conveyed. though my favourite bits of her music are the heavy metal parts of specifically the plague the cancer and recycle zero. the climaxes in those tracks are some of my favourite pieces of music i have ever listened to, feeling like an overwhelming scream and release of all emotions being built up to by the entire song. also fun fact about the angel the demon, most of the tracks in it were made entirely separate from one another over the course of a few years, with some being extended and remastered for the album. it's insane how cohesive its themes are stories are with how it was made
I honestly didn't think i was notable enough to get coverage of my stuff this high quality yet, extremely well made and balanced overview I'm genuinely grateful for it. <3 Just to clarify to a few things ig, the reason Sub World Unknown sounds, Like That is cause I took about 2 months to make it as opposed to the 8 months I took on Island.1 lmao. SWU was basically made after I found out about Vaporwave for the first time [RIPs to the wosX documentary] and was really enamored with the loose abstract nature of it, so I wanted to just rapid fire make my own take on it. So it is in fact mixed like ass because of that. Admittedly the Very obvious samples are kinda self-indulgent on my part, the first style of music I found really exciting growing up was Mashups I heard on the internet, additionally I would watch my sister make AMVs where she'd take recognizable pop songs and twist them into exciting and fun new emotional contexts. So it's a bit of a personal tailoring to that part of my brain, as it really was the thing to make me want to make music in the first place. It's very funny to see someones reaction to it removed from that context, lmao. Extremely appreciable coverage, and genuinely such a good video that I'm gonna go watch yr other discog overviews while I make breakfast. Much love. My next album has No samples and will be much better mixed than any of these so I've got you chief.
L/S disorder is a really cool take on the vaporwave style and I hope you continue to develop that sound further (sub world unknown and the patreon exclusive album are some of my favorites by you)

too long; did read.
Question: was island1 the first music you EVER made? Because even if it's a little inconsistent at times it's impressively good if you were going in blind
I don't understand why there are any dislikes- there's nothing misleading or uninformative about this video
Dude I love that For that Beautiful Feeling hoodie!! 😀
Thank you for making this video, skinny puppy is definitely my favorite band of all time!! It’s interesting how my favorite skinny puppy albums are also mind: the perpetual intercourse, too dark park and last rights. There’s just something particularly haunting about last rights that it’s hard to put your finger on. I’m also not too fond of the process, but I keep coming back to candle for some reason. I also really like some of their less well known releases, like back and forth 6 and back and forth 7, or that mix they did for a radio station. And can’t stop watching recordings of their live performances, I love the over-the-top horror/slasher movie stuff, and it’s always such an intense experience. For some songs, like for example chainsaw (a personal favorite) I actually almost prefer the live version to the original… or maybe I’ve just gotten too used to relistening to the the original version all the time, who knows.
just wanted to say thanks for the Vale-Smith recommendation, I'd never heard of him before you gave him #1 and he's my newest musical obsession now. I wish my taste in music were half as good as yours when I was your age - hell, even NOW. Keep on keeping on
listen to ae_live, coward
You summarized a very expansive and groundbreaking record very well. When this record came out I don’t think I knew another single soul who’d ever heard it in the pre-internet era. I liked “spirit of Eden” more initially, but over time this one and the Mark Hollis solo record exist as one within my mind. I love their whole approach. The songs absolutely have structure but they left much room for additional experimentation in the overdubbing and editing phases. There is never a feeling that they’re trying to “prove” anything. It’s not made to impress any preconceived audience and it doesn’t try to make itself accessible for the impatient ear. Yet it is entirely inviting to all who realize that musical variations are infinitive, if desired, and it’s only we who sometimes make music small by demanding it conform to our preconceptions. And so the record is a metaphor for life. I find that certain songs from the three records can calm my mind into near silence and eventually restful sleep like a sonic blanket. This record expanded my notion of music and remains an inspiration.
Can't wait to hear this - well done another full and detailed review 👏
RIP Dwayne!!
i’ve had this on loop for 2 hours. Someone save me 😁
I'm watching this on my phone with my dvd of Jaws on quietly and going through a hellish methadone withdrawal ❤😂 fxcking great
