God Lives Underwater will be popping up on the pending Skinny Puppy remix album, and the band is also organizing what's turning into a major tribute to Depeche Mode.

Project manager Jeff Antebi confirms that GLU will be participating on the as yet unnamed Skinny Puppy record for the Nettwerk label, but adds that a specific song has yet to be chosen. GLU will be joining fellow Philadelphian Josh Wink (song TBA) along with Chris Vrenna ("Assimilate"), Adrian Sherwood ("Tin Omen"), Autechre (TBA), Rhys Fulber ("Worlock") and Ruby ("Smothered Hope").

Antebi says he's looking for artist-oriented remixes and expects to add another three to five tracks to the record. There's no release date or album title at this time.

Skinny Puppy were pioneers of the industrial goth genre and stood shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Ministry and Nine Inch Nails. They were first formed in 1982 and disintegrated in the early 1990s.

GLU will be squeezing the Puppy remix into a schedule that includes a current tour supporting their just released second album, "Life in the So-Called Space Age," and overseeing their pet project, a tribute record honoring Depeche Mode. California's BAM magazine reports that the tribute, called "For the Masses," is shrouded in secrecy, but will probably feature GLU ("Fly on the Windscreen"), the Cure ("World in My Eyes"), Trent Reznor ("Personal Jesus"), Smashing Pumpkins ("Never Let Me Down Again"), Failure ("Enjoy the Silence"), Meat Beat Manifesto ("Everything Counts"), Apollo Four Forty ("I Feel You"), Dishwalla ("Policy of Truth"), Deftones ("To Have and to Hold"), Monster Magnet ("Black Celebration"), Hooverphonic ("Shake the Disease"), Smashmouth ("People are People"), Foo Fighters ("Master & Servant"), and Self ("Shame"). The album is due in August.

The glue of GLU is the songwriting/programming/guitar team of David Reilly and Jeff Turzo. They're joined on the road by drummer Scott Garrett and guitarist Andrew McGee.

Electronic duo God Lives Underwater has an eye-catching and stomach-turning new video for "From Your Mouth," [500k QuickTime] the first single from its new album, "Life in the So-Called Space Age."

The clip features world hot-dog eating champ Hirofumi Nakajima from Japan stuffing his face with all sorts of food, the footage of which Roman Coppola -- son of "Apocalypse Now" director Francis Ford Coppola -- runs backwards for some dizzying effects.

"I think Roman read an article in the paper about him," the band's Jeff Turzo said, "like a little 'USA Today' blurb, and that's where he got the idea for the video, you know. I guess we could have gotten, there could've been a few people that could've done the video, but we had to have him, because he's the champ" [300k QuickTime].

"We can both eat as much as that guy," bandmate David Reilly added, "but he looks cooler eating than we do. He knows what he's doing."

The video was shot in six takes, which meant that Nakajima ate all the food pictured in the video six times in a row. Yikes.

God Lives Underwater will play New York City on April 9 before joining Rancid, the Specials and Blink 182 for the final date of the Big Air Tour on April 25 at Mount Hood, Oregon.
