June 26 [10:00 EDT] -- Nettwerk Records confirms there's an album of Skinny Puppy remixes in the works. The record won't appear until next spring the earliest, though. "There's a lot of work to be done," says Nettwerk's Ric Arboit.

Arboit says it's premature to say who'll will be contributing ("you'll know when I know," says Arboit) and offers up a specific 'no comment' on reports that the ubiquitous Trent Reznor will be in the mix. Reznor's rumored involvement is a natural progression given that Puppy's longtime production guru Dave 'The Rave' Ogilvie, considered to be the trio's fourth member, will likely to be the man of the hour on the remixes and that Ogilvie is firmly entrenched in the Reznor camp.

Ogilvie has production credits ranging from David Bowie to Ministry to Marilyn Manson, and most recently he engineered Nine Inch Nails' "The Perfect Drug" for Reznor. He's currently recording Rob Halford's band, now called Two, signed to Rezor's Nothing Records and is expected to work on the new NIN effort.

The trailblazing industrial Skinny Puppy was formed in Vancouver, Canada in 1983 and the final line-up of Nivek Ogre, Cevin Key and Dwayne Goettel gelled in 1986. The band disintegrated during the recording of their final album, Process, in 1995. Ogre went on to W.E.L.T. and other projects while Key and Goettel formed Download. Goettel died a short time later of a drug overdose.

Arboit adds that there will be a new Download record this year. He says to expect "Download III" to be released in the fall. The album includes Key, Phillith (Phil Western), Anthony Valcic and Joe Vizvary.
