My first exposure to Ministry was seeing Just One Fix on Rage one night and being interested and confused simultaneously.

A little later, I was able to tape this off a relative and with a bit of effort, fucking loved it.

Now I reckon the run of The Mind…, Psalm 69 and Filth Pig is as strong as any three consecutive records I can think of.

I thought number 3 was a piss and a shit and a wank in a tree.

Is this Lambton Worm territory?

Agreed - though I loved Anathem and couldn’t put it down at the time, I couldn’t go back to it.

I’m coming up to the crescendo (hopefully) of Termination Shock by Neal Stephenson. I can’t say that I’ve loved it as much as some of his previous work but it’s got 150 pages left to change that.
