Cleanse Fold and Manipulate, Skinny Puppy's third album, came out on Nettwerk in 1987, and the Vancouver noise-mongers sound like a factory floor having a nervous breakdown. cEvin Key and Ogre, with Dwayne Goettel now in the ranks, splice industrial clang, funk grooves, electro pulses and jagged samples into something that's equal parts dance track and horror flick.
"Addiction" was the single, a jittery, chattering thing that crawls under your skin and stays there. The band took it across North America and Europe on the Head Trauma tour, with the horror-show theatrics that earned Skinny Puppy a devoted cult, and their Toronto stop was caught on tape as Ain't it Dead Yet?, out on video in 1989 and on CD in 1991. It sits right in the middle of the Nettwerk run that turned cEvin Key's side project into one of the founding acts of electro-industrial.
