A side project (pre-Download) consisting of cEvin Key and Dwayne Goettel of Skinny Puppy. Actually it was their first project outside Skinny Puppy; there have been a few others: The Tear Garden is one.
The characteristic sound of Skinny Puppy is here, but the songs are all instrumental (except I.D.L
that features vocal by Naomi McCleod). Very Skinny-esque in many respects; the album sets a dark, ambient, dreamy mood, almost like a soundtrack for a the scariest film you're likely to see.
Although the music feels more open and flowing than the work with Skinny Puppy, there are still the same kind of twisted sounds flowing through the mix, and samples creating a dynamic backdrop.
In my opinion, one of the more interesting spin-offs off Skinny Puppy.
- The Infidel (Wax Trax, 1991)
- Father Don't Cry (Wax Trax, 1991)
- Father Don't Cry + 2 Unreleased tracks (re-released, Metropolis Records, 1998)
