Somewhere, sometime ago I saw a post on some social media site where a person shared a picture of what was supposedly the demo track list of "Land of Rape and Honey." That happens to be my favorite Ministry release, so I was excited to dive into this newfound knowledge.
Demo version of album:
Stigmata
Abortive
Ingrate
Apathy
The Idiot
See More Spine
I'm Sick
The Idiot (version)
Blackened Heart
The description also clarified that many of these songs did end up getting released in some form. I pulled together what I could find in my collection and I think it makes for a great supplement to this album in its proper form.
I included the remix of "Stigmata" and "Tonight We Murder" from the 12" single. I also included "I Prefer" and "Hizbollah" as those were CD bonus tracks and not on my original copy of the album. "Self Annoyed" is a track from the Trax! Box and is from this period. "Show Me Your Spine" from PTP is close enough in title to "See More Spine" and from the same era so I figured they were likely related. 1000 Homo DJ's track "Apathy" is clearly what is represented here, as are "Idiot" and "Blackened Heart" which Lead Into Gold included on their "Chicks & Speed: Futurism" album.
Despite my best efforts, I couldn't find anything related to "Ingrate" or "I'm Sick." Just have to imagine what those may have sounded like. Ultimately, nothing really new or all that rare here just a fun extra chuck of music from a great era of an influential band.
