All this excitement has reminded me that I totally slept on all the "Ministry Mondays" material that Al released for free several years ago. Does anyone know of an official or fan-generated online archive for this stuff?

My copy of Industrial Accident finally shipped!!

My copy of Industrial Accident finally shipped!!

Is that based on official USPS confirmation, or just the email from WT! titled "Your order has shipped"?

If the latter, I would temper your expectations - some folks on the WT! Facebook group have had orders stuck in "pre-shipment" for weeks. That said, it stands to reason that things should be moving more smoothly now that the tour is wrapped up.

Did he post any pictures from Brooklyn?

[roolfdriht]

Different source, but Brooklyn Vegan had a bunch here. There are a few good shots of us in the front row during the screening, but unfortunately nothing like the above during the show.

Haha, yeah I saw those. I remember Sin taking pretty much the same picture at our show, but didn't know where he posted them. His facebook isn't public as far as I can tell.

He'll add you if you request him.

[SM Rollinger]

Oh sweet I just checked the tracking number for the first time in days, and my Blu-ray is waiting for me in my po box!! Excited to get off work now

[SM Rollinger]

Hopefully I'll get to watch this tomorrow night after work!

Couldn't add him on fb, but found his instagram:

Ha, nice find!

The Chicago 82 show from the Trax! Box is getting a standalone release.

$30 + shipping seems kind of high for 6 songs though.

[SM Rollinger]

Nice design with the package though!

[Helpmeiaminhell (is now in hell)]

For someone who despises With Sympathy so much, he sure has gone out of his way to release demos and B sides and live stuff from that era

Damn, limited to 180 copies and its already sold out.

This is Cleo we’re talking about... some other variant or a CD release must be around the corner. They’re shameless with their dribble out approach, which drives me nuts. I never would have bought Necronomicon (ugh, that name again) on the original vinyl if I’d known a CD release was planned.

Well, that's common practice with a lot of labels. I used to think Cleo was a joke until the Trax Box came out, compiling virtually everything Al did on Wax Trax wrapped up in a nice little bow. I only recently acquired it and man is this thing legit.

I hadn't personally witnessed something quite this egregious among the other labels whose output I track, but I'm not surprised to hear you've seen others do it.

I've always been torn between appreciating Cleo for bringing over a lot of great European EBM back in the day and being annoyed at their marketing choices (e.g., the chopped-up and hideously repackaged Leæther Strip releases). The fact that they've provided an outlet for Al's archives is commendable, though...but it won't stop me from nitpicking

Anyone picked up the Industrial Accident OST yet? Fuck I love me some fresh 80's Ministry.

[SM Rollinger]

Not yet, still need to watch my Blu-ray!

Watched the Blu-ray with the bonus footage but still waiting for my KickStarter soundtrack to arrive...

is this available anywhere on CD or Flac?

[Shadaloo]

is this available anywhere on CD or Flac?

I'm told it's up on Itunes (mp4s easily convertible to flac), and CD is available from the blogcartel WaxTrax shop. Tracklistings vary between formats.

Also the guy who uploaded a few songs in great quality video footage from Ministry's Boston 1984 show at The Channel a few years ago has resurfaced with more!

This makes me cock an eyebrow. The first uploads came out around the time the Trax Box came out, and now Industial Accident drops and this shows up around the same time.

According to Setlist.fm the full setlist for that night is:

1. Hizbollah
2. All Day (Up on YT)
3. Do You Even Like It?
4. The Nature of Love (Up on YT)
5. Revenge (Up on YT with some cuts)
6. (Everyday Is) Halloween
7. I'll Do Anything for You
8. I Wanted to Tell Her (Up on YT)
9. Here We Go
10. I'm Falling
11. Ricky's Hand (Fad Gadget cover)

Encore:
12. Work for Love (Up on YT)

I wonder if this is being teased to drive up hype for some sort of official release or what? Someone capitalizing on waves of Wax Trax Ministry interest?

The WT-era period and unreleased tracks are being drip-fed by various sources including Al himself, it seems, and it drives me nuts, I want more!

Original Tool bassist Paul D'amour is in Ministry now. Pretty cool I guess, but it's the wrong Paul.
