Skinny Puppy Reborn/New Collide

Skinny Puppy Reborn/New Collide

Statik has been working with the pups on the reformation of Skinny Puppy. Here is a quote from the Litany web site... The news of Skinny Puppy's reformation, which Ogre casually mentioned in his post a few days ago (see below), has started to spread. Billboard.com has picked it up and reported on it in a story here. The story erroneously mentions that Dave Ogilvie will be involved in the reunion. This is not the case. Aversion.com features another brief story here.

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 Native Instruments . 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 Collide (whom cEvin did a remix for).

New Review of Chasing the Ghost

New Review of Chasing the Ghost

Here's a snippet of it, but feel free to check out the entire review. " Now, when I first heard Hooverphonic's electronic trip-hop masterpiece A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular I thought that I"d heard the sexiest album of my life. Of course, that title was just begging to be contested, and the new champion is Collide's Y2K album Chasing the Ghost. This is a sexy, sexy album kids! It's a triumphant blend of trip-hop, electronica, goth, pop and yes, even world-music elements. Exotic, erotic, and seductive, that's this album in a nutshell."

New MP3.com Collide CD

We've decided to try something and put up a CD on mp3.com that is a collection of songs from all of our CDs--chasing the ghost, distort, beneath the skin, as well as the skin single from offbeat. It's called "Collide-The MP3 Sampler" for lack of a better title. If you don't own a Collide CD yet, it's kind of a way to get your feet wet. As it is right now, there are 13 songs on it. They are...

wings of steel, razor sharp, monochrome, halo, son of a Preacherman (video edit), beneath the skin, pandora's box, deep, falling up, violet's dance, beneath the skin (pulse mix), falling up (egypt mix), violet's dance (abstract dub mix)
