Below are links to the pages I have created towards Ministry's main sideprojects.
Don't forget, I have the lyrics to most of these albums!
Even though this is just a Ministry page, I have almost all other releases and and wanted to share 'em.
Most of the groups do not exist anymore, or haven't released anything in a while.
Having said that, I have almost every release detailed in the pages and it didn't cost a hefty price.
I scanned all the covers myself, and so I ask, please don't steal...
Remember, "other" small info. on the sideprojects can be found in the FAQ.

Al Jourgensen produced Rabies, an LP released by Skinny Puppy in 1989.
Al and Ogre became very good friends but their friendship over the couple of years declined.
They initiated WELT which now consists of
Ogre and Mark Walk and stuff is gonna be released from them real soon.
If you are gonna go out and buy Rabies, be warned: there are two versions:
The latest one from Nettwerk Records is the Remastered version.
There are no difference in the tracks, but the quality is just way better.
The way to tell which is your release:
If your CD has the tracklisting on the actual CD, you have the older version.
If your CD has a clear plastic CD holder case, you have the new version.
If your CD is released by Nettwerk/Capitol, you have the old version.
If your CD is released by just Nettwerk you have the new version.
If your CD's serial # is "CDF7930072", this is the old one.

I spoke to the founder of Pigface Martin Atkins recently and asked him what his status is with Al.
He replied "That junkie? How can you keep friendship with heroin junkies"?
Oh well...
Martin Atkins can be seen on the In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up (Live) video.
He's the drummer with the long, blonde frizzy hair wearing a striped shirt.
He now runs Invisible Records in Chicago, and Pigface goes on...
