Paul, thank you so much. I’d love to hear the Halloween Remix / Nature Of Outtakes 12″ as well if you have it.
Hi Paul,
Very interesting to see this posted. I went through a huge industrial phase
in the late 80’s, and 90s. It was my preferred music choice. It was so noisy,
and less known than even new wave. It felt like it was even more exclusive
and cool at times. Now, its kind of grating, and just seems like noise, with
my old ears. ha ha.
Anyways, the earliest ministry was synthpop, and then went industrial,
and then went metalish. Funny, but there’s a new ministry album and
single out now also.

This is one of the coolest remixes of the entire era (and a fabulous Halloween themed track). Thanks for this in all of it’s original glory!
HI,
love your blog! Is it possible that can post again the “Break Every Rule” Mixes by Tina Turner Thank you!
Let the Halloween music postings begin!! Paul, thank you for this classic. Love these songs so much. Mr. Jourgensen has created a timeless Halloween anthem along with its great flip-side.
Have a great weekend Paul, Song And Dance and others!!!

I welcome, October and Spooky Season. Have a great weekend 🙂
Hey Paul, As I’ve mentioned from time to time, Burning The Ground has always been full of synchronicities – meaningful coincidences. Like, you posting related singles or me, thinking of specific songs, and then, there you go, posting the song I was just thinking about. It’s a bit mystical to say the least. WELL, this turned out to be another week where it has happened again. I don’t even know if you know this or not, but you bookended the week with Cabaret Voltaire and then with Ministry. Al Jourgensen really admired Cabaret Voltaire, so when the Cabs came to… Read more »
