Holy Ghost/Ministry

Holy Ghost has recorded a Ministry cover for Mountain Dew's Green Label Sound. Holy Ghost's cover is pretty loyal to the original version of "I Wanted To Tell Her" which was released on Ministry's dance-o-rific 1983 debut cd, With Sympathy. For the unaware, Ministry has been the gold standard in the world of industrial music for years, but before those WaxTrax! days they started out recording electro-pop-synthy-Howard-Jones-esque music on Arista Records. Take a listen to the original, then stream and download Holy Ghost's cover below.

I also couldn't resist posting this old school Ministry video for "Revenge." Al Jourgensen would kick my ass right now if he could...check it out!



Ok, maybe I'd better post some latter-day Ministry too for a nice juxtaposition...

Ministry "Burning Inside"



If you're at all a fan of Ministry, keep an eye out on my blog for my interview with Doug Freel, the director of Fix-The Ministry Movie...I will be posting the interview soon...
