I've got a small story about the impact of this album on my life. Skinny Puppy and Too Dark Park specifically has helped give me catharsis through some pretty dark times and allowed me to connect with my dad in ways I doubt I would have otherwise. I'll reply with the rest.
I'm 29 now, so I suppose it was 17 years ago that I thought I was being real rebellious moving over from stuff like SOAD and Rage Against the Machine to more industrial and dark wave music. My dad was/is a big fan of grunge and wasn't big on anything with an electronic bent. I listened to NIN, but craved more experimental stuff, and found my way to Android Lust, Ministry, and pretty quickly Skinny Puppy. One evening I was chilling in my bedroom (the garage) listening to an album I had found at a random pawn shop in my small hometown. My dad came into the room super surprised that I was listening to Too Dark Park, and it got him talking about a phase of his life (Austin in the 80s) that I hadn't heard much about. It was a dark time for him trying to cope after serving in the Marines, and through this music I felt a lot closer to him.
much love to cEvin and Edward, such cool footage and a lot of in-depth ideas - loved the review of To be an Angel Blind... lyrics. If I had been on the patreon, I would have asked about the Silverman. I never heard what happened - he didn't tour for Museum, and now he has retired from the band altogether? right on cEvin... at the end he hints at sending tear garden ideas!
Omg I just found this video, I’veloved this song ever since I heard it over a year ago and this video is exactly how I pictured the scene of this track to be, thank you so much, this has made my day ❤❤❤
This is fun to see! I was a huge IIV fan. I still have my photos from your shows and meeting y'all at a record store in Vancouver. Saw you at UBC and the Duran Duran concert in Vancouver. 😊
It would be cool if some IT genius would go back and create virtual simulators for all of the old synthsizers and modules like this Toyo......so we could all have one and be able to stack an infinite number of them (depending on GPu?CPU/HD/RAM capacities).......
Watching this in 2024, some 33 years after I bought Too Dark Park which was the soundtrack of my youth together with Rabies and Last Rites. Life has a way to close all these circles.
Love this song! Bill, Rhys, Cevin, you guys made a masterpiece with this album. Also hella great work Mek Fletcher. This video is the perfect visual for this track.
BTW.....Leeb and Cev back together....BAD ASS! #SP......SP and FLA.....where TF is ohGr? Ogilvie needs to get involved in this IMHO.....I love this.....It's like kick ass dance music mixed with an SP version that imbodies Portion Control.......and then the FLA edge to it, it's like candy for Ov Power Minds......This F**KING ROCKS!
This shreds hard! Huge groove smashing vocs. Cyberaktif have been an oasis since the first listen long ago. Thanks for all you guys do and have done for great alternatives to the mundane. Brap On !!! Many good ones friends !
