Easy now...be gentle with me! I know who Ministry are, dont worry about that. They are just not a band I have really listened to. I have heard a couple of songs though, but only in passing. Please forgive me! I must have sacrificed that space in my mind to make more room for mango wisdom.

Ministry isn't a bad influence to be in the shadow of, though. Still a huge step up from most modern bands. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Yeah, but I'd much rather be original. I don't really want to be referred to as "that one guy who sounds like Ministry." I don't want to be in the shadow of anything, you know?
I'd rather stand out on my own.
Aaah Josiah, so hard on yourself! Tell me...have Ministry ever released anything as progressive, expansive, layered or downright cool as Borerer? I can see how maybe you would say some of your
chugchugchugchuging is Ministry-ish...but the way you work it into a song is totally
you. It's not what you got, it's what you do with it!
