Ministry's "TWITCH" /// Themes For `Grind'

[J. Peter Alfke <alfke@csvax.caltech.edu>]

I saw "TWITCH" (new Ministry album) today and, remembering Doug's reccom-
mendation, picked it up -- it's spinning around right now.  Hmmmmmmm.
Definite must-listen for any Cabaret Voltaire types.  It will take a few
more rotations to sink in, but I like it already.

Doug, have you been keeping up with Ministry?  I bought their first album,
but nothing since then -- when did they (he) stop doing stuff like "Work For
Love" (mediocre synth-disco) and start doing this?

(Actually, I do recognize "All Day" -- KROQ was playing it quite a bit some
months ago.  Still a good song.)

Industrial-music types, as well as those who are complaining that synths
are too sterile, have too limited a sound, should try to dig up Will
Sergeant's "Themes For `Grind'" album.  Sergeant, you may recall, is the
guitarist of the Bunnymen, but this is nothing like their music.  The
pieces here are bleak industrial soundscapes with incredibly *unusual*,
*dirty*, *rough* synth sounds throughout.  Music to wander through
deserted factories at night by.  A truly chilling experience.  On the
not-even-miniscule "92 Happy Customers" label.  Good luck.
