As a huge fan of Skinny Puppy since the early 90's, I discovered Download back then as they incarnate their biggest side project. A way more electronic oriented and beat driven, Download is often considered as being the «dance counterpart» of SP. This album is their 3rd and according to myself, the most powerful and accomplished. Songs like Glassblower or Outafter are floor killer as other's like Suni C, Separate or Base Metal are more experimental. Genesis P-Orridge share is very recognizable voice on a couple of song's and this give even more weirdness to the global sound of the album. Everything is clear and very well produced. This album was the last to feature D.R Goettel, the former SP keyboardist wish is obviously missing since is death in the mid 90's. This LP is one of the best example of the electronic revolution that blast the music industry 15-20 years ago, pushing the limits further and offering new recording technologies.
A true classic...
9.5/10
