{"product_id":"ministry-rantology","title":"Ministry - Rantology","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"300\"\u003eA bruising anti-establishment statement that hammered away at \u003cstrong data-start=\"62\" data-end=\"80\"\u003eGeorge W. Bush\u003c\/strong\u003e’s America lyric by lyric and song by song, \u003cem data-start=\"124\" data-end=\"135\"\u003eRantology\u003c\/em\u003e finds \u003cstrong data-start=\"142\" data-end=\"159\"\u003eAl Jourgensen\u003c\/strong\u003e staying firmly on message. Released in 2005, the album uses a mishmash of remixed classics, live material and one new song, \u003cem data-start=\"284\" data-end=\"297\"\u003eGreat Satan\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"302\" data-end=\"697\"\u003eJourgensen creates a shrill blast of aural protest art throughout. Every track is contextualised to embarrass, vilify and indict Bush in the court of Uncle Al. The famous “I’m George W. Bush, and I approved this message” campaign tag opens the set, matched to a remix of \u003cem data-start=\"573\" data-end=\"579\"\u003eNo W\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong data-start=\"583\" data-end=\"591\"\u003eMolé\u003c\/strong\u003e. Later, Bush is heard reciting Psalm 23 over a swirling Wagnerian chorus and steadily building tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"699\" data-end=\"1017\"\u003eThe original \u003cem data-start=\"712\" data-end=\"720\"\u003eN.O.W.\u003c\/em\u003e is remixed here too, updated to include both President Bushes over jagged percussion and Jourgensen’s proto-metal yawp. \u003cem data-start=\"841\" data-end=\"851\"\u003eStigmata\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem data-start=\"856\" data-end=\"879\"\u003eJesus Built My Hotrod\u003c\/em\u003e are also revisited on \u003cem data-start=\"902\" data-end=\"913\"\u003eRantology\u003c\/em\u003e, though Jourgensen wisely doesn’t alter them too heavily. They were already dirty and vicious enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1019\" data-end=\"1365\"\u003eSince retooling \u003cstrong data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1047\"\u003eMinistry\u003c\/strong\u003e as a culture-war battering ram, it’s been Jourgensen’s angriest words and hardest beats that resonate most. The three live selections from 2002’s \u003cem data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1206\"\u003eSphinctour\u003c\/em\u003e are suitably loud and more than a little unsettling. World changers, bad livers and progressive punks rejoice: Ministry’s pissed-off stamina has not abated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1367\" data-end=\"1495\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1367\" data-end=\"1378\"\u003eRantology\u003c\/em\u003e will now be released for the very first time on translucent red vinyl as a limited numbered edition of 1,500 copies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MUSIC ON VINYL","offers":[{"title":"Numbered Translucent Red Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":58120261075289,"sku":"SDZ-46324","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/LIT_20260521_1734_164021_937_v_8719262043817_001.png?v=1779458213","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/ministry-rantology","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
