In the scheme of all things Skinny Puppy, Cleanse, Fold and Manipulate feels like a turning point, where experimentation is just beginning to gel with innovation and the band’s trademark sound is forming rapidly before one’s ears. Fans of industrial music will appreciate the album’s formidable beats and coarse sound samples that seem to be generated from warping the sounds of heavy machinery. Perhaps more than other any place in Skinny Puppy’s discography, Ogre’s vocals work like spoken-word stream-of-conscious dementia, with more emphasis on evil tones than on any relation to their music.
