Summary: SKINNY PUPPY = THE BEST! NETTWERK = SAD JOB!
Review: First of all, the only reason this did not get 5 stars is NOT because of the band (Skinny Puppy, the godfathers of EBM INDUSTRIAL) but is because of the utter LACK by the label NETTWERK that did NOTHING but put the VHS version on DVD without ANY MENUS, GRAPHICS, NOTHING EXTRA!
the videos themselves are 5 stars!
if you have the VHS tape, there is NO NEED to buy the DVD!
if you don't have the VHS, you might want to pick it up if you've never seen these MTV-style videos... although there are a LOT of videos NOT included, which is a shame since NETTWERK had YEARS to get a specail DVD version released. NETTWERK IS THE WORST RECORD LABEL EVER BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO PRIDE IN THEMSELVES OR FOR THE ARTISTS THAT USED TO BE THEIR MEAL TICKET! (that is until Sarah McLachlan came around then ALL the other artists under NETTWERK's control were ignored by the label!) SKINNY PUPPY & DWAYNE R.I.P.

Summary: Skinny Puppy is amazing! Nettwerk is lame lame lame!
Review: I'd seen the video for Dig It years ago and was so happy to see this dvd release -- I didn't even know these guys had made eight videos! And, while I'm thrilled to see these interesting and rather devastating videos with these awesome songs, I don't think I've ever had a worse dvd experience. Not only are there no extras, there aren't even any basics, like menus, and no accompanying booklet.

Music and videos: 5 stars
DVD treatment: 0 stars

Skinny Puppy deserves better.

Summary: No Extras, No Need
Review: I'm so glad to finally have this DVD. I've seen parts of the videos on my Brap CD Rom and have wanted them ever since. The DVD has no extras but who needs them, any real Skinny Puppy fan knows all the history, owns Brap for the extras, and is willing to pay next to nothing for the vids straight up on DVD or video. I own several music DVDs and they either speak for themselves and don't need extras (Ministry-Tapes of Wrath) or the "extras" are a bunch of on-the-road fluff (KMFDM-Beat by Beat).

Summary: Great to finally have on dvd
Review: It's great to finally have the video collection on dvd. this dvd features the same videos that appeared on the vhs. they are:
1. Dig It
2. Stairs and Flowers
3. Far Too Frail
4. Smothered Hope
5. Deep Down Trauma Hounds (Live)
6. Testure
7. Spasmolytic
8. The Killing Game

About the only thing different from the dvd with the vhs version is that there is a menu in which you can select the video you want to see, or you can view them all at once. Quality of the dvd is average. looks just like a newly viewed vhs. Which isn't bad. A definite for SP fans!

Summary: Catalog Title, Catalog Treatment
Review: Much like "Ain't it Dead", Capitol Records once again releases a sub-par version of what could have been the definitive collection of Skinny Puppy Videos. Channel Dropouts... weird video glitches... absolutely no care or concern for the quality of the material being remastered.

Summary: Great collection of videos
Review: This is a great collection of Skinny Puppy videos (not all of them though), the DVD doesn't have any extras like a menu, behind the scenes kinda stuff but djing a club with videos I get a ton of use out of this DVD. Every last video is good quality, both the video and sound quality, good enough to be played in a club anyway.

I would recommend this DVD to any Skinny Puppy fan and any Industrial type DJ spinning videos.
