This was the first of
Skinny Puppy's ongoing splinter projects, featuring both
cEvin Key and Dwayne Goettel teamed up with
Edward Ka-Spel of the Legendary Pink Dots...a veritable industrial supergroup. With Key and Goettel handling all of the music and Ka-Spel taking care of the lyrics and vocals, it mixes together to create a dreamy electronic mix that owes something to both Puppy and the Dots, but is nonetheless totally different. Think
Pink Floyd on a scary electronic acid trip and you're getting close. "You and Me and Rainbows" is monolithic at nearly 17 minutes, but it's worth every second. The CD reissue adds the Tear Garden EP at the end. ~ Sean Carruthers
