      Perhaps one of the most dazzling, rare musical jewels I’ve discovered in my time on this planet is material by Jakalope, an industrial-pop project started by Dave “Rave” Ogilvie (former Skinny Puppy member and one of the primary sound engineers behind the legendary album Antichrist Superstar). This was an open-concept experiment which was supposed to bridge the gap between dulcet pop and blistering rock. Although the group only released three total albums over a seven-year period I would attest that the product most certainly succeeded in meeting with its lofty goals. Ostensibly a Canadian act, originally reinforced by the curiously nasal but very pleasant voice of vocalist Katie Rox, Jakalope went on to achieve a moderate amount of mainstream success before quietly dropping off the face of the Earth in 2011 or so. This was a venture that even caught the interest of Nine Inch Nail’s Trent Reznor, who went on to help song-write and produce their first and second album. This is one of those bands that I wish had stayed together and perhaps tried even harder to keep the content coming, as their overall sound was especially sensual, brilliant, and haunting. This is Feel It from their 2004 album It Dreams. This track is far and away my personal favorite of their individual works. I don’t know what I like more; the sexy lyrics and uniquely delivered vocals or the industrial rock elements that I’ve enjoyed since I was a moody teen. It represents a very special kind of pop-rock endeavor to me as it was touched upon by some of my personal heroes in the music industry. Smash play and enjoy, as their group name indicate, a mythical hybrid of noise that will leave you rapt with allure… craving even more!

Rabies is the fifth studio album by Skinny Puppy. It was released on November 21, 1989 through Nettwerk. The album notably features Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen (credited as Alien Jourgensen) who performed electric guitar and vocals on several songs. The album spawned two singles, "Tin Omen" and "Worlock", the latter of which becoming one of the band's most recognizable songs. The cover art was made by longtime Skinny Puppy collaborator Steven R. Gilmore. In 1993 the CD edition was reissued by Nettwerk to correct mastering errors in the original release.[1]

Rabies was a commercial success for the band, but received mixed reviews from critics upon release, several of whom drew parallels between the record and Ministry's style, both favorably and unfavorably. A joint tour with Ministry, KMFDM, and My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, dubbed The Mutants of Rock Tour, was planned but ultimately cancelled when Skinny Puppy ended its commitment to the project.

Recording and production[edit]

Most of the band's previous albums had been mixed and produced by the group's "fourth member" Dave "Rave" Ogilvie. For Rabies, lead singer/songwriter Nivek Ogre brought in friend and Ministry frontman, Al Jourgensen. Ogre had met Jourgensen during the recording of the PTP song "Show Me Your Spine" in 1987. Ogre later toured with Ministry (Ogre can be seen and heard on the In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up video and CD) and would also go on to provide vocals for Jourgensen's side project Revolting Cocks.[2][3] The other two members of Skinny Puppy, cEvin Key (drummer) and Dwayne Goettel (keyboardist/synthesist), did not approve of Jourgensen's takeover, creating a "glacial coldness" between the band members.[4][5] A couple years following the release of Rabies, Key mentioned to Alternative Press that he believed Jourgensen's motive for assisting in the album's production was to try and break up Skinny Puppy.[5]

Much of the album had been written before Jourgensen was officially involved, though Key has mentioned that the process was influenced by the notion that Jourgensen might join them in the studio to "jam." The group took into consideration what type of music Jourgensen would be interested in making, thus writing guitar heavy material such as "Tin Omen,"[5] a song which makes reference to the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.[6] "Fascist Jock Itch," also written with Jourgensen in mind,[5] was inspired by an incident between Ogre and a few skinheads. Ogre states that he had been approached by the skinheads who then proceeded to question him regarding his "loyalty towards communism" (prompted by a small Red star on his pants). Feeling threatened, Ogre pushed one of them away and a short scuffle ensued.[3] Other songs on the album, such as "Worlock" and "Choralone," have been described as being more "pure" to previous Skinny Puppy material.[5] The song "Hexonxonx," a song which criticizes the use of oil (written in the aftermath of the Exxon Valdez oil spill of 1989),[7] has been described as being an exemplary mixture of "twisted humor and Throbbing Gristle-like experimentation", while other entries from the album have been noted for their novel use of sampling.[8]

The song "Worlock" has been played on every tour after its conception. A Roland Harmonizer was used to create the vocoder-effect during the chorus. Samples of the song "Helter Skelter" by the Beatles are mixed with an excerpt of Charles Manson singing the song;[9] the excerpt comes from the 1973 documentary Manson.[10]

Release and promotion[edit]

The original CD release on Nettwerk (and the licensed version on Capitol) was mistakenly mastered with Dolby B noise reduction, which resulted in a muffled sound. In 1993, the album was digitally remastered and re-released on Nettwerk.[1]

Only one promotional video was produced for Rabies. The "Worlock" video was primarily a rhythmically edited string of horror movie clips featuring outtakes and clips from the band's earlier video, "Stairs and Flowers" (from the album Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse). The video, which opens with a "Rated X" graphic, was intended to be a critique of the concept of censorship in America.[3] Many of the movie clips featured in the video were from films made by controversial Italian filmmaker Dario Argento, whose work has a reputation for being heavily censored by US distributors in order to gain "R-Ratings" from the MPAA.[11] For the "Worlock" video Skinny Puppy included footage deleted from the US versions of such Argento films as Deep Red, Suspiria, Tenebrae, Phenomena, and Opera. Other films included in the music video include, The Beyond, Hellbound: Hellraiser II, Bad Taste, Dead and Buried, Luther The Geek, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, From Beyond, Death Warmed Up, Eraserhead and Altered States.

Due to the graphic violence of the horror film clips used in the video, and also copyright violations, "Worlock" was subsequently banned by MTV, and did not receive any television airplay.[12] In 1992, Skinny Puppy released a compilation of their music videos, but "Worlock" was noticeably absent. According to Nettwerk, the video was omitted partially due to copyright problems and also because of concern the video would be banned by other countries which might find the video's content obscene.[citation needed] However, in recent years the video has been widely bootlegged among fans on the Internet. "Backing" videos for "Tin Omen" and "Choralone" were produced for the Too Dark Park tour in 1990, and have also been spread on the Internet.

A limited run of promotional mechanical pencils were made and sent to college (and possibly other) radio stations along with the album. Shaped like a syringe the pencils were white with black lettering "SKINNY [PUPPY]" and white on black lettering "RABIES". They were approximately 4 inches in length.

The Mutants of Rock Tour, which was to include a quadruple bill including Skinny Puppy, Ministry, KMFDM, and My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, was to begin on December 27, 1989. However, according to Key, the tour was called off when Skinny Puppy collectively decided to pull out, citing concerns regarding the band's then uncertain situation. Key suggested a potential line of shows for the summer of 1990, but expressed little faith in any tour supporting Rabies ever happening.[13] Ogre ultimately joined Ministry's tour for The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste.[14]

Critical reception

Since the album's release, reception from both critics and fans has been mixed. Alternative Press said Rabies was more of a Skinny Puppy/Ministry hybrid and was not representative of the group's best work.[5]

Tim DiGravina from Allmusic stated that Rabies was a solid release, even though he felt the band was not performing "at their peak". He goes on to praise the album's implementation of movie dialogue, particularly commending its use in the songs "Worlock", "Tin Omen", and "Rivers". DiGravina was, however, less impressed by Jourgensen's contributions, asserting that the same qualities which made The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste a good album were not suitable for Rabies.[8] Trey Spencer from Sputnikmusic was less favorable, calling the record one of the group's "low points". He was critical of the album's use of simple (and sometimes "formless") song structures and claimed that the sampling brought nothing meaningful to the table. Spencer was more receptive to the song "Worlock", calling it the band's "defining moment", but concludes by saying that "the rest of the album consists of two good Industrial Metal songs, three average songs, and five songs that aren’t worth wasting your time on".[18]

Beth Fertig of The Boston Globe panned the album as "just another festering collection of noise", but pointed out the use of humor on songs such as "Fascist Jock Itch" as a positive element of the band's music.[15] Daniel Lukes of Kerrang! said that despite a "handful of undeniably classic tracks", the album comes across more as a collection of "Ministry B-sides" than a typical Skinny Puppy record.[16]

In a positive review from the Los Angeles Times, writers Jonathan Gold and David Kendrick list Rabies as an essential industrial album, calling it a "slightly atypical" offering that "also rocks a little harder".[17] This sentiment was echoed by CMJ's Brad Filicky, who called the album "a masterpiece of the industrial genre".[21] Jean Carey of the Tampa Bay Times praised the album, calling attention to the use of sampling, the song "Worlock", and Ogre's vocal work, which was compared to a "crazed Jimmy Durante". Carey concluded by saying that "Skinny Puppy's willingness to experiment and change makes [Rabies] well worth a listen".[19] Mark Jenkins of the Washington Post thought the album was less theatrical than their previous efforts, but concluded that the album's "groove is as solid as any the Puppy has ever fetched".[20]

What would best-selling groups Tool, NIN, David Bowie and Canadian pop star Carly Rae Jepsen have in common with the unknown Colorado band Lying On Ice? Veteran producer and mixing engineer Dave Rave Ogilvie that’s what and when he got involved with The Dream by Lying On Ice everything changed overnight for the Colorado-based group.

DENVER, December 4, 2018 -- With the album, The Dream, Jesse Maddox, and Angela Cross prove their group, Lying On Ice,  are firing on all cylinders. Their unique songwriting and unusual approach in the studio drew in Dave Rave Ogilvie (NIN, Skinny Puppy), who produced and mixed the album. Dave helped Lying On Ice sculpt a collection of songs with dream-like arrangements using felted pianos, sub-bass synths, and otherworldly vocal processing. The texture throughout the album gives it a unique and intensely mellow sound, don’t be surprised when you find yourself hitting repeat. The Dream by Lying On Ice can be found streaming and for purchase everywhere you might listen.

When the Legendary Pink Dots and recent Amanda Palmer collaborator Edward Ka-Spel provided vocals for the song Surrender, Jesse Maddox was buzzing with excitement. To be able to combine Dave’s mixing and production with Edward Ka-Spel’s guest vocals it was a dream come true.  Edward Ka-Spel’s solo, LPD, and Tear Garden projects helped curate the tones, textures, and moods that inspired Jesse to find and develop his musical voice.  Jesse, a recent Berklee School of Music graduate and recipient of the Gloria Estefan scholarship, set out to make the song, Surrender, featuring Edward Ka-Spel, a track that would easily fit into the back catalog of the Pink Dots.

[Album+Video] Pink Mountaintops mit erstem Album seit acht Jahren!

Pink Mountaintops, die kanadische Indierock Band um Frontmann Stephen McBean, kehren nach acht Jahren Pause mit einer neuen Single und der Ankündigung ihres neuen Albums “Peacock Pools” zurück!

Das am 06. Mai erscheinende Album wird ihr Debüt auf ATO Records, die erste Single ist die energetische Gitarrenrock Nummer “Lights of the City”. Mit verzerrten Riffs, viel 70er-Jahre Vibe und einem eindrucksvollem Video von George Mays, präsentieren sich Pink Mountainstops so frisch und eindringlich wie lange nicht mehr.

Seit 2004 das selbstbetitelte Debütalbum von Pink Mountaintops veröffentlicht wurde, ist die Band der Ort für die Ideen von Black Mountain Frontmanns McBean, die etwas abseits der normalen Wege verlaufen. Und so sind auch die Einflüsse für das neue Album “Peacock Pools” etwas ungewöhnlich: Kulturelle Artefakte, David Cronenbergs Sci-Fi Werke, frühe Pink Floyd Alben und John Carpenter Filme sowie auch ein 1991 erschienenes Essay von Feministin Camille Paglia über den Kult des Bodybuildings.

Dabei bekam Stephen McBean im Studio Unterstützung von Steven McDonald (Redd Kross) und Dale Crover (Melvins). Das fünfte Album von Pink Mountaintops wurde allerdings - wie so viele Alben in den letzten Jahren - vor allem über große Distanzen und das Internet aufgenommen, wie McBean erklärt: “I’d moved into this cool little ’50s rancher house outside L.A. and was just mucking about in my bedroom studio, and pretty soon I started reaching out to some friends who were also shacked up and craving broadband sonic collaboration.”

Dabei kollaborierte McBean am Ende mit einer Menge an Künstler*innen: Drummer/Pianist Joshua Wells (Destroyer, Black Mountain), Violinistin Laena Myers-Ionita (Feels, Death Valley Girls), Drummer Ryan Jewell (Riley Walker, Steve Gunn), Sängerin Emily Rose Epstein (Ty Segall, Emily Rose & The Rounders), und Keyboarder Jeremy Schmidt (Black Mountain, Sinoia Caves).

Produziert wurde das Album von McBean und dem ehemaligen Skinny Puppy Mitglied Dave „Rave“ Ogilvie (David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails).

Tracklist “Peacock Pools”: 01. Nervous Breakdown 02. Nikki Go Sudden 03. Blazing Eye 04. You Still Around 05. Shake The Dust 06. Swollen Maps 07. Lights Of The City 08. Miss Sundown 09. Lady Inverted Cross 10 . Muscles 11. All This Death Is Killing Me 12. The Walk - Song For Amy

The Broken Islands Offer Atmospheric Single 'High Life'

Fusing elements of alt-rock, spacey pop and shoegaze, The Broken Islands are an indie band who offer an almost otherworldly experience with their music. Merging colliding guitars, delicately sprinkled keyboard notes and soaring, dreamy vocals, their latest track ‘High Life’ is packed with emotion. Eased in by tribal-like drums, the song dips into rhythmic, hip-swaying beats before it is reaching the glorious marriage of percussion and strings. Combined with Rachelle’s vocals that resonate the spacey, emotive qualities of the likes of Wolf Alice’s own Ellie Rowsell, ‘High Life’ is a certified explosive rock anthem. Having just completed their UK tour, the band took residence at London’s famous Troubadour, the birthplace of Bob Dylan’s fame and home to a stage that has graced multiple music legends, the band are set to release their much-anticipated album ‘Masquerade’ in the new year. Mixed and produced by Dave ‘Rave’ Ogilvie, best known for his work with industrial music titans Nine Inch Nails, Ministry and Skinny Puppy, the album promises to harness those many influences that constitute the sound of The Broken Islands. Band co-founder Stephen Cameron points out that: “we are all multi-instrumentalists and one of the great things about being in a six-piece band is the ability to switch instruments and play different things on different songs to really makes things exciting. We love to add percussion to songs so a set of free hands usually gets a chance to pick something up and add a new sound to a track. We all have wildly varied musical references, which we believe is what makes The Broken Islands sound the way it does. It’s really great to gain insight into someone else’s perspective of a song that you might not have heard before.”

Skinny Puppy

Formation and first releases (1982–1985)

Skinny Puppy formed in 1982 as a side project for Kevin Crompton in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[10] Crompton was dissatisfied with the pop direction of his then-current band Images in Vogue, and began Skinny Puppy with the intention of doing something more compelling and experimental.[11] Images in Vogue had become a popular act in Vancouver, achieving several radio hits[12] and opening for groups such as Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, and Roxy Music.[13] Initially Crompton had planned Skinny Puppy to be a side project while he continued his work in Images in Vogue; however, when Images in Vogue later relocated to Toronto, Crompton made Skinny Puppy his full-time project.[14] Crompton had already created the name for the project and recorded several songs when he asked Kevin Graham Ogilvie to join. Ogilvie had been a roommate of Images in Vogue member Gary Blair Smith and had met Crompton at a party in late 1982.[10] To avoid the confusion of having two people named Kevin in one band, the pair created stage names, with Crompton becoming cEvin Key and Ogilvie becoming Nivek Ogre.[15]

Using Key's apartment as a makeshift studio, the duo began recording songs[15] and in 1983 with the help of Images in Vogue recording engineer Dave "Rave" Ogilvie (no relation to Ogre),[12] Skinny Puppy released the EP Back & Forth.[16] This was the beginning of a long partnership between Skinny Puppy and Rave, who would serve as their producer until 1993, and again in 1995,[17] and was occasionally listed as a member of the band in album liner notes.[10][18] Though only 35 copies were ever printed, the self-released Back & Forth drew the attention of Vancouver startup label Nettwerk, who signed the band later that year.[19] The first live Skinny Puppy show was held at the Unovis art gallery in Vancouver in February 1984; the British group Alien Sex Fiend were among the 300 people in attendance.[20]

Dave Rave Ogilvie liked my tweet calling Al Jourgensen gay I guess you could call me an “influencer”

[mitjalovse]

Whenever we discuss those who mixed electronic music and rock, we shouldn't forget about David Bowie. There are many occasions in his career of him trying to combine the two idioms, but I would dare to claim Earthling might be the weirdest example of them all. The record did earn many jeers, though just listen to the disc to notice how well he integrates himself within the soundscapes of the era. I mean, the tune in the link, presented here in the remix by Trent Reznor, could be seen as one of his most biting songs. Sure, the composition feels aggressive, yet Bowie makes sure things don't derail as they could. Actually, this is true for the entire Earthling, i.e. the album remains a study of incredible balance, since Bowie manages to find a proper stability between the two styles.
