Career
editBorn in Montreal, Ogilvie attended the music program at a local college where he took classes taught by audio engineer Lindsay Kidd. Kidd left his teaching job to work in Vancouver and Ogilvie followed months later, acquiring a job at Mushroom Studios in 1984, eventually working as an assistant to producer Bruce Fairbairn.
His early work included assisting Kidd with the engineering of the album Worlds Away (1982) by Strange Advance and the Images in Vogue's EP Educated Man (1982). He assisted with the recording of Keep It Up (1983) by Loverboy, which was produced by Fairbairn and whose chief engineer was Bob Rock.
Amongst other artists, he continued to work with Images In Vogue, engineering their their self-titled EP released in 1983, followed by their EP Rituals (1984), and their full-length album In the House (1985).
It was through his work with Images in Vogue that band-member Kevin Crompton (later known as cEvin Key) invited Ogilvie to provide recording and mixing work on his new project, industrial band Skinny Puppy. Ogilvie co-produced Skinny Puppy's 1984 record label debut EP Remission, which is the first known commercial release to use a TR-909 drum machine.[1] Ogilvie worked on all Skinny Puppy releases up to their 1996 album The Process after which they disbanded for several years. During his tenure with Skinny Puppy, Ogilvie was at times listed as a member of the band in album liner notes and also toured with the band.
