收录一些Ministry的side projects计划中一些优秀作品，包括PAILHEAD - a collaboration with Ian MacKaye (from Fugazi and Minor Threat); 1000 HOMO DJ’s - a collaboration with Trent Reznor (NIN), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) and others; PTP - a collaboration with Chris Connelly; ACID HORSE - a collaboration with Cabaret Voltaire 。下面是乐队简介。
关于这支著名工业金属、电子工业乐队不用过多介绍。Ministry ，译为“内阁”，乐队本身也处于工业金属的内阁地位。Ministry于1981年组建于芝加哥，是多乐器演奏家阿尔.乔根森(Al Jourgensen)表达个人音乐观点的工具，最初的成员还有鼓手斯蒂芬·乔治(Stephen Jeorge)。他们初期受“新浪漫”(the New Romantics)运动和“赶时髦”(Depeche Mode)乐队电子流行音乐的影响，1982年3月通过乔根森做合伙人的Wax Trax公司发行了首张单曲《冰冷的生活》(Cold Life)。在发行了几首受人冷落的单曲后，乐队于1983年出版了首张专辑《以同情心》(With Sympathy)。乔根森此后远离了自己的同事，在1984年与比利时重拍乐队“242号阵线”(Front 242)一同进行美国巡演时戏剧性地改变了音乐方向。在采纳了更多的工业音色后，“内阁”录制了阴暗、刺耳的专辑《抽搐》(Twitch，1985)，该专辑受益于有名望的On—U Sound公司的老板阿德里安.舍伍德(Adrian Sherwood)在制作上的帮助，是一个全新的开始。从此Ministry便成为地道的工业金属乐队，大量的工业音色、浓厚的低音鼓、烦躁的吉他riff，听起来很过瘾。乐队的经典专辑是1989年的《The mind is a terrible thing to taste》,这张专辑是这个工业先驱留给80年代的最后一击铅锤，影响深远。还有就是1991年的专辑《Psalm 69》，被称为工业金属流派划时代的一张专辑。乐队1999专辑《The Dark Side Of The Spoon》中的Bad Blood曾收录于电影Matrix(黑客帝国)原声大碟。
亚马逊国外网评:
Both Rykodisc and Al Jourgensen deserve accolades for finally compiling this material together onto one disc, and I must say I was greatly looking forward to hearing such classics as "No Name, No Slogan" and "Rubber Glove Seduction" in sparkling remastered glory. I have the other Ministry reissue disc and the RevCo releases as well, and while their quality varies considerably, all of them sound distinctively improved. Unfortunately, the reality with this compilation is that something must have gone horrible awry in the mastering -- perhaps somebody grabbed the wrong files -- for these tracks sound worse than the WaxTrax! originals by a long shot. In most cases, intricate details and stereo effects that panned back and forth are completely gone, and worst of all, the tracks sound flattened and lifeless. Instead of demonstrating the heart-pumping, fist-pounding, immaculately-produced anthems these tracks once were, Side Trax offers a bunch of monochromatic, monophonic replications that give the whole project an overwhelming feeling of "cash cow" with little attention paid to quality control. I have yet to figure out how I am the only one on earth who has yet noticed this flaw, but I may as well offer this up to those with discerning ears who were looking forward to hearing their old time WaxTrax! favorites in a new light. This, sadly, is not your opportunity.
EDITED TO ADD: As of March 2005, Rykodisc have corrected the error and re-pressed the CD with the proper stereo mastering. You can contact them and have your problematic copy replaced with very little hassle. The new mastering sounds good, if not necessarily better than the original EPs -- a testament to how ahead of their time they once were.
