S.o.t.D. - Move – Ministry

Move – Ministry

Really surprised by this. For many years I had known this tune from Keith LeBlanc’s 1989 Stranger Than Fiction album, and also from Tackhead’s M.O.V.E. It certainly has that very distinctive On-U-Sound sound. Then I belatedly hear this for the first time. So I’m guessing this is an outtake from the production work Adrian Sherwood did for 1986’ Twitch.

It kicks ass, no matter what the progeny of this song is.

While I lost all interest after about their third or fourth album, I still love Twitch.

Burning Inside – Ministry

(Yesterday we had Devil Inside. Today, Burning Inside.) Oh did I ever love this when it came out. Come on. I still do. Saw them three times on this tour.

Over The Shoulder – Ministry

There was a video show from Cleveland that was on in the middle of the night when I was younger. Used to watch it because they had some interesting stuff on there. New Model Army, Cabaret Voltaire, and this video. I was already listening to Twitch, and loving it - partly because of the fact that Adrian Sherwood was the producer. (Previous to Twitch, Ministry was forgettable fluff.) Hadn’t seen the video for this though. Loved Al’s hair.

I liked the original, but the Cabs did a cool reworking of it.

While Al Jourgenson’s entire output has devolved into absurd cock rock nonsense, for a while in the late eighties he did some interesting stuff - namely with various collaborators. Pailhead, with Iain MacKaye being one, Lard with Jello Biafra being another, and Acid Horse, a one off collaboration with Cabaret Voltaire being yet another.

I only really put this up for the first three minutes, featuring the incredible double drum intro by Bill Rieflin and Martin Atkins. Kickass! Saw Ministry on this tour. Great show.
