Skinny Puppy - 12 Inch Anthology

I hadn't paid much attention to this release, as I thought I didn't really need these remixes in my collection, but now I'm extremely happy I bought it, as there is outstanding stuff on this vinyl. Apart from the two unreleased tracks "Serpants" and "Chainsaw" (very good one), all the mixes sound enough different and interesting to justify the purchase. "Dig It" is a longer and more rocking mix, with sharp guitar samples in it, "The Choke" is twice as powerful and heavy, "Addiction" darker than ever, with its deep Sherwood basses. On side B, the wonderful "Assimilate" mix by Front 242's Richard 23 sounds even better than the original, the beats hammering and the voice more evil than ever. "Testure" is also superior to the original mix in my opinion, with its guitar inserts and the more clear production. Another very interesting feature of these 12" mixes is that you can listen to the various film samples at the beginning of the songs, and finally understand what they say. I'm not very fond of the two "Stairs And Flowers" versions only, but I don't really like the original song either.
