Download (Skinny Puppy) - Furnace (CD)

A stunningly dark, atmospheric, unforgiving, caustic, beautiful album. A stunning achievement in noise, electro, industrial, ambient. Here's where the future begins for Skinny Puppy's cofounder Kevin Cey, and where it ended for Dwayne Goettel, who died last summer shortly after completing this record. With Genesis's P. Orridge subbing for the exiled Nivek Ogre, it's as experimental, industrial, sci-fi, and strangely accessible as you'd expect--just the ticket for legions of Puppy.
