Skinny Puppy saved my life as a kid when I discovered them in the early 90's. I've never stopped listening. Thanks for everything you have done, Cevin.

[@stixvane]

Cevin, I'm a 40yr old in recovery and have been listening to SP since I was 15. Skinny puppy showed me anything is possible with music and to this day messing with my synths helps me stay clean... and just like Salvador Dali showed me I can draw anything as long as I stay true to myself.... you showed me I can make noise... um music as along as I stay true to myself... BRaP! 0N!

[@bens4295]

Choose life brother. Congrats on staying clean. We are the music makers, we are the makers of dreams

It's crazy to think that I've been listening to cEvin Key and Ogre and the Dots etc for well over 30+ years. Time has flown by faster than I ever imagined it would but thank the sound gods for blessing my time with the sounds of the greatest creators of all time. I can't even imagine life without them ...

I'm 49, and I absolutely loved his choices. I listen to so much music, but when I say my top 5, Skinny Puppy is there and everything they all have done by default. I know it could be called cheating the system, but I don't care. Every aspect of all the music they created has inspired my life. That is all.

A true appreciation and a vast knowledge base. A fan since the IIV days, my favorite interviews with Cevin are the ones where he talks about the music that inspires him.

[@claudiaweier1153]

Wow Crompton. Nice to see you. Very sweet and intriguing development. Dwayne would have been compelled and rejoicing with you. I'm really proud of you, Kevin. Nice collection of those doll things in the back. Your taste in music, as always, is top shelf. You're an icon. I hope to see Orca at that island off Vancouver. Awesome you included Edward in the compilation. That man is a legend as are you. Truly, my best, your "sister-in-law", so to speak, from forever ago. Hugs to Reanna. ❤

[@colinrussell2017]

I love how his selections are from the late 70s/early 80s. Kenny would have been in his teens/early 20s when they came out. I think he's giving us insight to his formative influences and music that has stood the test of time in his life. No Residents? No Killing Joke? Too obvious maybe? Thanks to cEvin for expanding my musical horizons...AGAIN.😊

Have you never listened to his music? The dub influence is massive. It was cEvin who introduced Ryan Moore to LPD. After years with them, his Twilight Circus project took him full time and now he's working with the likes of Mykal Rose

[@SaintMartins]

Awesome cEvin Key ! Vancouver Canada's Skinny Puppy are one of the most influential "Electronic/Industrial/Goth" bands ever. If it wasn't for them Ministry, 9 Inch Nails, etc... wouldn't exist. Even Grimes (another Vancouverite) gave them a shout out during her Amoeba video.

[@Jonathan-yk5de]

Ministry started before Skinny Puppy. Cevin was making crap pop with Images in Vogue when Al was already cranking out dark new wave with Ministry (I'm Falling).
