Digital Poodle formed in 1986 by vocalist/programmer Heiki Sillaste. Based in Toronto, Digital Poodle began releasing a series of cassettes and a 12” singles on their own Shadow Canada label. In 1991, Digital Poodle submitted the track “Work Terminal” to local alternative radio station CFNY, where it received heavy rotation alongside contemporary alternative hits by bands like Skinny Puppy, Front 242 and Depeche Mode. Indeed, “Work Terminal” became nothing short of a local EBM anthem, a staple in all of Toronto’s thriving alt/EBM club scene, and even crossing over into the emerging techno scene, with Digital Poodle even playing alongside Detroit’s Underground Resistance, Jeff Mills, Kenny Larkin and Joey Beltram at 1992’s The Realm Of The Techno Gods Festival. Digital Poodle’s popularity in the EBM scene spread, and their music was picked up for license on Hyperium in Germany, and Metropolis in the USA. But with the early ‘90s being the era of CDs, this banging EBM anthem, a tried and tested dance floor killer, has really never seen a proper vinyl release, until now, and is rounded out by remixes by Opal Tapes’ O/H and Ghostly’s Solvent. Funnily enough, Digital Poodle, O/H, and Solvent were all part of Toronto’s original industrial-techno crossover scene, and indeed, chances are all of them were probably together in the same room at some Digital Poodle concert, circa 1991, slam dancing to Work Terminal! The 12” is also rounded out by an impossibly rare 1991 cassette version, a much more clanging and ominous take than the original. Alongside O/H’s sludgy, furious techno version, and Solvent’s driving minimal synth reduction, “Revision! vol.1” offers a diverse set of dance floor killers for the modern industrial-techno scene.
Tracklist: 01.Digital Poodle - Soul Crush (4:17) 02.Digital Poodle - Soul Crush (Adam X Revision) (6:03) 03.Digital Poodle - Soul Crush (Zoviet France Virtual Mix) (13:15) 04.Digital Poodle - Soul Crush (Manie Sans Délire Revision) (5:06) Suction Records presents the 2nd volume in a vinyl reissue/remix series by Toronto’s Digital Poodle: “Revision! Vol2 - Soul Crush” (suction037). Formed in 1986 by Heiki Sillaste, Digital Poodle began self-releasing experimental/EBM tapes in the late-80s, and by the early-‘90s had several releases licensed to international labels like Hyperium, Cleopatra and Ninja Tune. “Soul Crush” was an underground hit in EBM/alternative clubs around the world - particularly in Toronto, but also making an impact was Zoviet France’s Virtual Mix… This hypnotic, 13-minute psychedelic techno trip, actually a live-in-studio jam between Digital Poodle and industrial music legends :zoviet*france:, became an unlikely rave staple, spun by DJs including Sven Väth. Both mixes are featured here, alongside a killer revision by none other than Adam X, one of this legendary techno producer’s rare remix appearances. One of the few artists to credibly bridge the gap between EBM and techno, here Adam X delivers a pummelling dancefloor stormer, with Heiki’s distorted vocals taking the Adam X sound even closer than usual to a pure, vintage-EBM sound. Digital-only bonus remix comes from June Records’ Manie Sans Délire, a modern wave/EBM duo who turn in a bare-bones-minimal, vintage-electro revision with sparse synths and cutting TR-707 percussion. For bonus EBM points, the 12” was (re-)mastered by industrial music legend Eric Van Wonterghem (Absolute Body Control, The Klinik, Monolith). released March 6, 2017
