With Sympathy

Ministry

Polished 1983 synth-pop featuring rubbery slap-bass, bright arpeggios, and affected vocals. A rhythmic, danceable snapshot of a band before their industrial pivot.

September 1983 · Arista

A bright and rhythmic celebration of 80s dance-pop with a slight theatrical edge.

Moments Worth Listening For
The rubbery slap-bass line that carries the infectious groove of I Wanted to Tell Her.
The dramatic, staccato synth stabs and aggressive vocal delivery on Revenge.
The surprisingly funky, polyrhythmic percussion breakdown in the middle of What He Say.

Playful saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
