Skinny Puppy 'The Greater Wrong Of The Right Live (DVD)' album

After lying dormant for ten years, the creative machine that is Skinny Puppy began to pulse on all fronts. In tandem with the new recording (2004’s The Greater Wrong Of The Right) began plans for a new live show and extensive touring. Pre-production for the live show began and also plans to capture the experience of Skinny Puppy live in a way that had never been done before.

On the second leg of the incredibly successful North American tour, two live shows would be recorded. The infamous Spectrum in Montreal and Koolhaus in Toronto became the venues of choice paying homage to Puppy's Canadian roots. Seven cameras and a mobile audio truck were rolled out to capture the event. The images were recorded in Hi-definition video and multiple layers of microphones were placed throughout the room to capture the elements which would form the basis of a killer 5.1 Dolby surround mix. The master tapes were shipped to Hiwatt Labs in Los Angeles and the post production sound produced and engineered by long time Skinny Puppy collaborator Ken ‘Hiwatt’ Marshall. Hiwatt created both a stunning 5.1 and Dolby Stereo mix for the product. The visual elements for the DVD were directed by S.P. guitarist William Morrison, who has worked with the band since 1990, creating the live shows and visual elements for Puppy in tandem with S.P. front man Ogre. The result is an incredibly true representation of what it is like to have the intense experience of witnessing Skinny Puppy live. The production value of the live show is outstanding in all respects and the set list is the best of the best of Puppy's prolific catalogue.

Skinny Puppy fans are fanatical when it comes to collecting anything to do with the band as evidenced by the large number of bootleg videos which circulate in the bitstream. This DVD will fill a great void for the fans who have always wanted to see and hear the show in all its frenetic glory. The special features make the disc a must have as they will go down in history as the quintessential reference for any hardcore Puppy follower.
