With Sympathy
Ministry
The production is dominated by the polished, drum-machine sound of early eighties new wave. It captures a specific moment when the group leaned into catchy, lighthearted electronic compositions.
Though the band later moved in a much harder direction, this record serves as an interesting document of their initial electronic experiments. It is an exploration of danceable, synthesized melodies that feel distant from their later output.
