Suction Records is pleased to present the 1st in a series of vinyl
reissues by the Canadian EBM band, Digital Poodle, beginning with “Work
Terminal,” an early ‘90s electronic dance floor anthem in Toronto, that
sounds decidedly contemporary in 2015.
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.
