I just skip a step and lace everything with embalming fluid.

I thought I was the only one! Goes great with corn flakes.

So I popped it in the tapedeck and promptly had my mind blown. I had never heard anything like that before and was immediately a fan. I remember trying to describe the style of music to a friend of mine a few days later and the best I could come up with was "a cross between Depeche Mode and Obituary".

Haha cool. I also remember hearing Thieves and the power drill sound and pounding drums really did it for me. So heavy and forceful, in a good way.

Aw hell yeah. "Thieves" was one of my favorite Ministry songs. "Breathe" is another classic from that album.

Some YouTubes for the uninitiated:

THAT's the tour I wish I'd seen them on. And I was living in the Chicago burbs too, had I only known. Though I might not have lived to see today.

If you don't mind my asking what suburb were you in? I lived in Chicago for a while myself.

I was in Naperville. From 86-92. You?

I lived on the far north side of Chicago in the Rogers Park neighborhood from 2001-2006. I went to Naperville quite a few times though. An ex-girlfriend of mine lived in Glen Ellyn and then in Bolingbrook so I spent a lot of time out the the general Naperville area.

I never spent any time on the north side, basically just the neighborhoods around Naperville and of course downtown Chicago. I bet Naperville was quite different already, 9 years after I left. I haven't been back since, but would like to visit one of these days.

Naperville as I knew was pretty nice and had a lot of stuff to do for a suburb. It had a nifty downtown which, hilariously, had a whole bunch of signs around proclaiming that you could be fined for cruising.
