Lead into Gold reminds me of twitch era ministry. I wonder what the new stuff hes working on wil sounds like.
Hopefully he keeps the industrial vibe going and doesn’t ruin it with buttrock guitars like Ministry.

The new stuff will probably sound like the Fix This record from a couple of years ago.

I don’t have any problem with that.
I’d be curious to know if anyone helped Paul out on the new stuff. Jason Novak created some great sounds and beats for the Cocksure album; it would make sense if Novak or Connelly (or anyone from the old Wax Trax circle) contributed. Did Paul prorgram his own drums for LIG?
I’m curious to know how much drum programming (if any) that Rieflin contributed to Ministry or the side projects. Was the programming all Al and Paul, was Bill sitting at a machine punching away, or did they record Bill playing triggers and quantize his drum tracks, etc.

Pretending to be a fan of some obscure Barker project that no one gives a crap about and didn’t know existed in a transparent attempt to roust up some 21st century grass-roots viral marketing hype in order to sell 15 copies of the CD instead of 4, while trying desperately not to tell everyone that s/he is actually Barker and/or his wife.
Something like that, at least.

That was my first thought.

God i hope not, that was pretty underwhelming, i don’t think i made it all the way through my one listen to the album.

That’s how Seinfeld made a name for himself. OMG it was SEINFELD in disguise. Seinfeld is shilling for WAXTRAX! Oh Seinfeld, you were never funny but now this??? TSK TSK TSK
It’s funny because it is probably true.
It’s actually not true. If it matters. Which it probably doesn’t. But definitely not Barker or Gerda. He’s just a fan.

Yeah, me too unfortunately. Flowering Blight had the first cut which was amazing and then the rest of the album was sort of OK too. I really feel Barker and Al did heir best work together and have sort of floundered since, but I’d love to be proven wrong, since some of those LiG stuff was great (which I realize wasn’t them together, but neither was Twitch and that was rad).
I’m curious to know how much drum programming (if any) that Rieflin Utu contributed to Ministry or the side projects. Was the programming all Al and Paul, was Bill sitting at a machine punching away, or did they record Bill playing triggers and quantize his drum tracks, etc.
Rieflin: “What is most bogus about my work is that I get credit for doing things I DON’T do and I don’t get credit for doing things that I DO do” [laughs]. How that reflects upon my drumming, I think, is a rather confusing issue. For instance, I think we all have to go back and look at how Ministry operated, which is where I expect people would primarily know my name from. A lot of how Ministry worked was that everybody kind of did everything. There were songs on which I didn’t drum at all, and songs on which I did some drumming and programming, songs on which I didn’t play drums but played keyboards or guitar. There were songs where Paul Barker did all the programming and the drums and I would play his parts (live), because they sounded so good. It was always a pushing, pulling, big fat vat of taffy, and there wasn’t any preciousness, in the sense that ‘you can’t do this’ or ‘it’s my territory.’ The basic rule of thumb was, really, if you had the right idea, or a good idea, and you could do it, or con somebody else into doing it, well that’s what survived at the end of the day."
