Ministry - The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste, 1988

What else can someone say in an immediate way, but wow. They took what Skinny Puppy was attempting to do, and brought it directly to the mainstream. But they did it without selling out. It's a wonderful follow-up to The Land Of Rape And Honey by not forgetting what they learned from Honey. The programming is better, the drumming is better. The musicianship and the overall production values brought them to a less eclectic audience, an audience willing to pay large dollars for a performance (If you haven't seen "In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing, Live", then I highly recommend picking it up. It features a performance by Jello Biafra (of Dead Kennedy's fame), and puts a light on the then future relationship between Jourgensen and Biafra (LARD).
