769.0. "Ministry" by DUCK::PERKINSP (Lost in reality) Tue Jul 09 1991 06:13

	Okay, here's a topic for one of my favourite bands at the moment.
	If any of you have seen the movie HARDWARE, well these guys did most
	of the soundtrack.  I suppose they could be described as "Industrial"
	whatever and liked moreso by the Alternative music lovers.  There
    	seems to be alot of hate and venom in their lyrics.

    Yes Flip it Rules! 
    
    I've been listening to this for a while now...
    
    Definitely malicious music, but it's not thrash...kinda strange I guess

    I`ve been meaning to check this band out for ages. Great name - simple
    but effective somehow.
    
    Any recommended releases?

                   "The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste" 
    I like it.  But I don't think it is as good as their last outing.
    This one is a bit more striaightforward.  The last album had quite a
    few good instrumental, strange songs with lots of background voices.
    This one does not.  Alain shares vocal duties with other members of
    the band as well (including Chris Connelly).  Production assistance
    from Skinny Puppies crew.  (Apparently, Ogre[Puppy] is going to take over 
    lead vocals so that Alain can spend more time on guitars on tour).  I
    don't have a track listing off the top of my head, but the first two
    cuts on the album [one of them is "Burning inside'] are my faves.  It
    is definitely the roughest ministry yet.  But I like the way these
    gentlemen are going.  Tour maybe????
    
    Thumbs up....

    The older stuff is more dancy-new-wave whatever you want to call it:
    
    With Sympathy
    The 12" Singles
    Twitch
    
    Then there's the good stuff:
    
    The land of rape and honey
    The mind is a terrible thing to taste
    
    They also have a live album, but I don't know what that is called.

769.11loudness is the keyDPDMAI::THRELFALLM. Y. O. F. B. !Wed Jul 10 1991 16:0512
    what I really like about these guys is the electronic drums.  I'd like
    to see Lars Ulrich try to even come close!  8^)
    
    To get the full effect of this music...turn the volume up as loud as it
    will go (without feedback or nasty distortion, that is) then...
    
    close your eyes and open your ears...you will hear things you've never
    heard before...Gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it!  
    
    my favorite songs off TMIATTTT is "So What"  and "Breathe"  
    these two songs give new meaning to thrash!  more class in the way they
    produced it I guess...
769.12DUCK::PERKINSPBlack wet-look dental flossTue Jul 16 1991 06:296
    
    Yeah, So What and Breathe are the best songs on TMIATTTT but I still
    prefer The land of Rape and Honey as an all round better album.

769.13A MUST for all Ministry fansVELVET::BAKERMon Nov 18 1991 23:368
    Well, if you like Ministry, then you'll like Alain's side project
    bands. My son wanted me to tell you about 2 albums worth getting.  The
    first is the REVOLTING CO*KS, the name of the album is BEERS, STEERS,
    and QUEE*S.  He adores it greatly.  The other album he wanted me to let
    you know about is 1,000 HOM* DJs (the name of the band and the album). 
    It has an industrialized version of the old Black Sabbath classic
    SUPERNAUT.  In his words, a must for all Ministry fans so check 'em out
    and enjoy.

    Just bought the new album, "psalm 69"? is that what it is called?
    anyway whatever it's called it is their best effort yet, it rocks from
    beginning to end.
    
    I also just saw them perform on saturday at  Lalapalouza.  They were
    excellent!  They blew everyone else away in my oppinion.

    	I just got "Psalm 69" and gave it a listen ... while this band
    	does in fact RIP, the "vocals" and I use the term loosely are
    	horrible.  Don't even bother trying to figure them out without
    	a lyrics sheet.
    
    	These guys are heavy industrial ... not a bad sound, really.
    
    	Is "Jesus Built My Hotrod" a Butthole Surfers song?  Sure sounds
    	like them, anyways.

    I received Psalm 69 in the mail yesterday.
    
    Good CD. My fav tunes are N.W.O. and Jesus Built My Hotrod, of course,
    but one real good tune I am beginning to like is Hero. Great song,
    excellant music.
