Inquisition (single)
"Inquisition" is a song by Canadian electro-industrial band Skinny Puppy. It was released as a single on March 24, 1992 in advance of its host album, '' Last Rights'' (1992). The B-side "Lahuman8" was created at the request of the Québécois contemporary dance group La La La Human Steps. Content The song "Inquisition" acts as the midpoint of Skinny Puppy's 1992 album '' Last Rights''. Even though it is a pounding, aggressive, mechanical industrial dance song that John Bush of AllMusic described as "heart-stopping" and as the pinnacle of its album, it still functions as a break from the surrounding chaos and sorrow of ''Last Rights''. Jon Selzer of ''Melody Maker'' wrote that the song has the "utopian laments" that made defined Skinny Puppy's best work. Originally bearing the demo title "Catbowl", "Inquisition" takes a break from the addiction-focused lyrics of the rest of ''Last Rights'' and returns to the topic of torture and animal cruelty that the band explored on its 1988 ...

Dub is a musical style that grew out of reggae in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is commonly considered a subgenre of reggae, though it has developed to extend beyond that style.Dub: soundscapes and shattered songs in Jamaican reggae, p. 2. Generally, dub consists of remixes of existing recordings created by significantly manipulating the original, usually through the removal of vocal parts, emphasis of the rhythm section (the stripped-down drum-and-bass track is sometimes referred to as a riddim), the application of studio effects such as echo and reverb, and the occasional dubbing of vocal or instrumental snippets from the original version or other works.Michael Veal (2013)''Dub: Soundscapes and Shattered Songs in Jamaican Reggae'', pages 26–44, "Electronic Music in Jamaica" Wesleyan University Press.
