I think of it as a novelty album - that's FULL of great tunes.

Yes, one way of looking at it. The cool thing about it is that they are all covers, some of the musicians in the band , the best in the business, also played on the originals

Ya gotta like Akroid's intro warning that this music will soon only be available at your library.
 
I use to really like these guys. I saw them twice, once at RPM on Queens Quay. The other time was at a roadhouse type bar in Las Vegas, they just happened to be playing around the corner from the hotel I was staying at.

Stomping around the dancefloor of The Sanctuary on Queen West in a set of Garrison Boots?

I went through an Industrial music phase in my late teens, went well with straddling the punk/metal/rave scenes that formed the venn diagram of my social life at the time. KMFDM, Godflesh, Skinny Puppy, Einsturzende Neubauten, Frontline Assembly, Front 242, Meat Beat Manifesto, etc.

Some has stood up, some has not (see: anything with 'noise' in the genre descriptor).

One record I went back to recently was Meat Beat Manifesto's Satyricon, also from 1992. It's a fascinating hodge-podge, and surprisingly groundbreaking considering what came later with the Chemical Brothers, Moby, and all the big beat and sampladelic stuff that flooded the late-'90s and early-'00s.


Definitely more 'electronica' than the harder-edged industrial of that era of Ministry, but both are products of the increasing sample and electronic sounds that were shaking off the self-consciously computerised qualities of '80s electronic music...
 
I'm a fan of trying new music all the time. This is how I found bands years before they became popular a number of times. Well, this one is kind of interesting, makes good listening in a playlist when you're having a drive and looking to stay alert.
