Neither did I until I re-read an old interview by Michael Gira (conducted by Michael Moynihan of all people) in an issue of Seconds magazine last night.
The album also had Rieflin and Atkins on it.
That’s the problem with owning everything in .mp3 form, you don’t get to read the liner notes.

Jourgensen, Rieflin, and Atkins? NICE!!! Were these dudes just on a track or two, or did they play on the whole album?
Algis Kizys not Al Jourgensen play bass on that album…
Michael Gira: electric guitar, vocals, electric 12 string guitar, sounds, acoustic guitar
Jarboe: vocals, background vocals, sounds, organ, keyboard
Bill Rieflin: drums, percussion, sounds, 12 string acoustic guitar
Algis Kizys: bass guitar
Norman Westberg: electric guitar
Clinton Steele: electric guitar, acoustic guitar, drone guitar
Ted Parsons: drums
Al Jourgensen wouldn’t know a bass if it stood up in his soup.
Ah. In the interview Gira says “Al played bass” and in the previous answer he was says he was introduced to Rieflin through Jourgensen, so I assumed he was talking about the same Al.
I did know that Al and Gira were aquaintances. In an interview in some Aussie metal mag, Al once spoke about hanging out with Gira and the Young Gods in Vienna (I think) in the early 90s and getting shit-faced, falling down drunk and quarreling with some cross dressers in a bar.
I would have loved to have followed that guy around for a year during Ministry’s heyday. Enough stories to fill a Lord Of The Rings sized compendium!
Bass! How low can you go?
Death row? What a brother knows
