Edited 8 years agoMy favorite ministry cd.
If you like front 242 style then this is an essential cd for you,
the music is totally electronic- pure EBM , Electro Industrial.
The track Where You at Now? / Crash and Burn / Twitch is an attack of massive electro - industrial sounds and sound effects ,the frequencies of the sounds created to break the bones, the feeling is that a thousand bombs falling on you .
A spectacular Electro Industrial track.
Best tracks:Just Like You.We Believe.Over the Shoulder.The Angel. Where You at Now? / Crash and Burn / Twitch. Isle Of Man ( a bonus track on the cd , Not appears on the LP.
It's a shame ministry do not have many more albums in this style like Twitch , if you like the album style I recommend on Twelve Inch Singles (1981-1984), Early Trax CD 2004 and The Land of Rape and Honey album 1988 , the music on Land of Rape and Honey is a combination of the style on Twitch together with Rock industrial ( Amazing album)

Edited 19 years agoPerhaps the perfect example of late '80s industrial dance, Ministry's TWITCH combines dance beats with more menacing and grinding sounds than their earlier synth-pop leanings, not to mention the dystopian, anti-establishment lyrics. "Just Like You," for example, blends a classic cymbal progression with metal clangs and Jourgensen's haranguing vocals, while "We Believe" takes a dim view of the militaristic-governmental complex, with claustrophobic electronics to reflect his vocals. But far from being completely dark, there's also the oddly ethereal "The Angel," which would be the last pretty Ministry song ever. The influence of Adrian Sherwood is clearly evident on this album, especially on the funky-dubby "My Possession." But the centerpiece of the album, the dance-noise-thrash hybrid of "Where You At Now/Crash and Burn/Twitch (Version II)" clearly shows Jourgensen's growing interest in noise and aggression, something that would mark their later work. The final track, "Isle of Man," is an environmentally-friendly work, one that would wave goodbye to a kinder, gentler Ministry forever.
