Listening to Ministry's new album "Animositisomnia." Reminds me of the silly way I first discovered and fell in love with industrial music. Enigma helped introduce me. That's right, the ambient techno beats with gregorian chanting. Enigma's first album was and still is one of my favorites. After hearing Enigma, I wanted to find more ambient electronic music. One day I joined a few people for a roleplaying game. Playing softly in the background was Ministry's "Land of Rape and Honey." Being caught up in the game and the volume being low, I only really heard one of the more gentle tracks on the album which immediately triggered my desire to find Enigma-like music. So, with only a vague low-volume listen of one or two tracks from that Ministry album, I go out and buy it on impulse. I bring it home. Play it. It scares the piss out of me. Certainly not the Enigma-like music I was hoping for. Despite it continuing to scare the piss out of me, I kept listening to it. I loved it. Thus began my truly schizophrenic music taste...from liking Matthew Sweet & Ministry at the same time, to the more recent opposites of Tatu & Dillinger Escape Plan.
