I don't understand why Al would be embarrassed by their early work. Both phases of Ministry are awesome, there aren't many bands from that era that are remembered as well as they are. Would be nice to see Al do some new synth sounds, I'm curious what he would come up with these days.

[@tonedecoder633]

The intro loop, bass and those cool organ lines are super sexy. The whole extended intro of this song sounds way ahead of its time. Also, I've never seen someone forced to do something they apparently hate embrace it so much. He's totally into the song lol.

[@brianoneil9662]

The crowd is lit. They know the songs in a time when this wasn't even getting airplay. One of the cutest things in these live clips is Al speaking with a faux-Brit accent.

[@fodientfoiter]

@brianoneil9662, “Work For Love”, “Effigy”, and “Revenge” were getting airplay in 1983 in San Diego on 91X (91.1 FM) and Los Angeles on KROQ (106.7 FM)😊. But I know what you are saying…most of the mainstream radio stations in the U.S. weren’t playing their music and the video for “Revenge” was usually shown on MTV later in the evening.

[@mheberling5939]

No doubt, there was something unique with music back then vs today.. I guess you could say it was more natural

[@wentzr]

agree. i just watched a video of one of their 2023 shows and the levels were all over the place. This right here sounds tight as hell. even the bits with the crowd singing along. notice the synth parts are all LIVE. I reallly dont think there is any backing track here besides maybe a click track for the drummer.

[@hostnik777]

Brian Romsdal - check out the vid from same show for "I wanted to tell her". I think he resented the pop leanings of a female belter inserted into his moody synth music. So some songs he probably enjoyed, and others reminded him of the control the label had on him and how the band and songs would go.

He wrote all the songs and everything, he was totally into this and clearly loved it which is wonderful but don't try to trick us!

[@perpetual61]

I personally think he just didn't like this kind of Music " New Wave". Which was so prevalent in the 80's and got tired of it. So he says he was forced into doing it when he should just own up to it instead of perpetuating the myth. He most certainly doesn't look like he's being forced or that he hates performing here.

[@Bewar3them00n]

People forget what a monumental change in music there was in the 80’s from new wave, post punk, early industrial, grunge and rave. In 1990 I was going to see Nirvana during the week, and raving at the weekend to burgeoning electronic scene in Sheffield. Musicians were obviously doing the same, experiencing new music, sounds, influences, advances in affordable technology that allowed you to experiment

Terence: yes, it's a terrific trance-funky groove, I love it. It's been an earworm of mine for years! As an English lad living in Evanston/ Chicago in 79-80. I was always in WaxTrax for the vinyl, but I have to say that the crew in there (which I think included Al J) were unfriendly and arrogant. Never mind, it was a great store, and with WXRT it made Chicago just cool enough for my 'sophisticated' 1979 Limey tastes.

Synthetik Films is Stevo playing any drums or is it a drum box? Sometimes it really feels he’s really playing but then in the middle 8 and the end there’s this guy in the white t_shirt playing percussion, which I guess should be him...

[@SyntheticFilms]

@@abelisraelcruzayuso4682 I believe there was a full drum kit set up behind John Soroka (the tall synth player in the middle) where I believe Stevo was playing drums. You can see him playing for a little bit during the "I Wanted To Tell Her" clip. Stevo appears to transition from the drum kit to the standing percussion rig during the bridge. The other video clips from the 1984 tour (e.g., the Exit show in Chicago) also show Stevo transition between a full drum kit and the percussion setup depending on the song being played.

I also love his "242" front 242 sticker on his guitar.. What I wouldn't give to go back in time to see this live!

This song has always been a banger. The 12" version especially. The base and rhythm guitar are funky as hell.
