Description
Inspired by the music of Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, and others, Skinny Puppy experimented with electronic recording techniques and methods, composing multi-layered music generally with synthesizers, found sounds, drum machines, manual percussion, tape-splices, traditional instruments, distortion, and samplers. Whereas many contemporary remixes and re-edits of songs were created in order to make a song more suitable for dancing or different radio formats, Skinny Puppy approached remixing and re-editing as an artistic process of reinterpreting compositions, often using remixes to push their sound into styles of ambient, dub and techno.
Skinny Puppy has been widely noted for their bizarre and confrontational live performances, for which every concert was designed to challenge the notions and beliefs of all who attended. Their music has had some acceptance in dance clubs because of its danceable beats, but has had little play on commercial radio. The band had very little commercial success outside of Canada, but their influence on industrial and electronic music in general is immense.
Last Rights is an album released in 1992 by Canadian electronic group Skinny Puppy. The album included an attempt at a ballad ("Killing Game"), a first for the group, as well as the dance-floor friendly track "Inquisition", and dense sound sculptures like "Download" and "Riverz End" (a joint remix of 2 tracks from the Rabies album, "Rivers" and "Choralone" ). The album was supported by a tour, which would be Skinny Puppy's last for over 12 years.
