Today it’s exactly 29 years since Industrial/Metal band Ministry released Burning Inside!
Burning Inside (12”) was released on 7th November 1989, as the sole single from the band's 1989 album The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste. The song is featured in the intro movie of the video game Scarface: The World Is Yours.
A video for the song was released in late 1989 and became a hit on MTV's 120 Minutes. The video features the band's live show with the infamous steel fence used on the 1989-1990 tour and later a live version of the song featured on In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up. Also shown in the video are a chaotic audience, a few people on fire and the band performing onstage.
In 1993 all tracks from the original 12” were re-released as part of the 3 x CD single compilation ‘Box’.

Lyrics
Will these dreams still follow me
Out of dark obscurity?
Can't you see it up in the sky
As it kicks you in the face and lets you die
You never have the answers
And now you tell me the facts of life
I really couldn't be bothered with you
Get out of my face and watch me die
Burning inside! Burning inside!
Absolution and a frozen room
Are dreams of men below
I try to grab it but the touch is hot
The mirrors collapses, but the image can not
I'm scared of darkness in a light
I scare myself cause I know I'm right
I see the evil in your savage eye
As it cuts right through the sky
Burning inside! Burning inside! Burning inside! Burning inside!
Burning inside! Burning inside! Burning inside! Burning inside!
Calling the mantra with a blade in the skin
For the demons within
I feel the pain is the death and decay
But the lesson never fades away
Too little shadows, turn away
Another man through the window pane
Another slave and a victim of fate
Another lesson in hate
Burning inside! Burning inside! Burning inside! Burning inside!
Burning inside! Burning inside! Burning inside! Burning inside!
(Allen Jourgensen / Christopher Connelly / Paul G. Barker / William Riefflin)
PROJEKT RECORDS announces the release of BLACK TAPE FOR A BLUE GIRL'S To Touch The Milky Way
Projekt Records announces "To Touch The Milky Way;" the 12th full-length release from Black Tape For a Blue Girl.
Evocative, powerful and melancholic, Black Tape’s 12th studio album expands upon their sweeping Art Rock aesthetic. Songwriter and bandleader Sam Rosenthal’s electro-acoustic atmospherics and foreboding, engaging lyricism focus the band as they enter their 32nd year with an album encompassing powerful personal and transpersonal themes.
Non-binary porn star Mercy West portrays the androgynous alien traveler in Rosenthal’s photography; the booklet contain 10 pages of striking photos the duo shot at locations throughout Oregon. “The photos externalize the feelings of isolation, alienation and longing within the lyrics,” Rosenthal says. “Mercy’s character is a stark representation of our struggles, lost within a larger self-defined world that work to limit our true nature.”
"The seven tracks on To Touch the Milky Way showcase the prominent darkwave act’s distinctively ethereal textures and haunting melodic atmospheres, led by the alluring vocals of Danielle Herrera and Michael Plaster. With chilling layers of synths, distant drums and acoustic and electric guitars that evoke the swirling and introspective ambience audiences have come to love from Black Tape for a Blue Girl."
- ReGen Magazine
“Reconnect with and reflect on the larger legacy of Black Tape For A Blue Girl’s emotive whirlwind.”

The Godfather of Electronic Music JEAN-MICHEL JARRE (JMJ) releases his 41-track best-of PLANET JARRE!
Commemorating fifty years of music and innovation, the Godfather of Electronic Music JEAN-MICHEL JARRE (JMJ) releases his 41-track best-of PLANET JARRE today.
Providing an intimate, indispensable and inimitable overview of his storied career thus far, he personally oversaw comprehensive remastering and chose the compositions that drive this journey in four playlists: Soundscapes, Themes, Sequences and Explorations & Early Works. It's available in four configurations: vinyl, box set, deluxe CD, and standard CD. The vinyl and box set both unlock a download card for Jean-Michel Jarre in 5.1, granting the most immersive listening possible and perfect for audiophiles.
Beyond classics and unearthed rarities from the vault, the collection notably remains highlighted by two brand new recordings. "Herbalizer" enchants and entrances with its wondrously warm production as the previously released "Coachella Opening" transports audiences into the front row of his most recent Electronica World Tour—which fittingly launched with the icon's first-ever Coachella performance.
However, PLANET JARRE only set the stage for further innovation of the Godfather or Electronic Music. On 16th November 2018, JARRE unveils EQUINOXE INFINITY—the long-awaited sequel to his landmark fourth album, EQUINOXE. The first EQUINOXE notably arrived forty years prior to the date on 16th November 1978 and since remained essential listening for music aficionados. The idea behind this brand-new album is very much driven by humanity using new technologies such as artificial intelligence and what will become of human mankind by doing so.
The legend just uncovered the album artwork created by Filip Hodas, which plays off the now-iconic image of the original.
"In days where vinyl is coming back big time, artwork deserves more attention," JMJ says. "The cover of EQUINOXE has always been one of my favourites. Are these strange creatures watching us? Watching space? Watching machines? Watching a natural phenomenon? We don't really know. They're not scary, but odd and mysterious. So, I took the original 'Watchmen' of the EQUINOXE cover to continue the story. Filip Hodas is a super talented young artist who I asked to create two different pieces in line with my vision. One cover shows mankind at peace with nature and technology and the other depicts a picture of fear and distortion with machines taking over the world. With these two, I want to bring attention to two scenarios we are facing today with our love for and our dependence on innovation and technology. The music of EQUINOXE INFINITY is the soundtrack to those two different worlds."
Speaking of the music, he precedes the arrival of the new album with "THE WATCHERS (Movement One)". The track formally welcomes fans into this new realm as it maintains his penchant for pushing the envelope and charting new territory.
JEAN-MICHEL JARRE is a 2017 Grammy nominee, with more than eighty million albums sold throughout his career, a four-time Guinness World Record holder for largest concerts ever performed, and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador renowned for his one-off groundbreaking events at historical landmarks across the world. He's one of the first artists in the world to perform electronic music as we know it today.

Celebrating the twenty-first anniversary of 'Mezzanine', it has been announced this week that Massive Attack will bring their 1998 masterpiece on the road next year to what has been promoted as both an audio and visual treat, further news that Cocteau Twins vocalist Elizabeth Fraser will be joining them on stage has fanned he nostalgic fires. The importance of Fraser is immense as it is both her lyrics and vocals which can be heard on the standout single from 'Mezzanine', the sublime and beautiful "Teardrop".
The album upon release, was hailed as a nighties watermark of experimental-electronica, a trip hop and at times dark journey into the dynamics of a band who were at the very top of their creative game, The fact that 'Mezzanine' reached the top of the charts in four countries is only circumstantial to the gothic, melancholy masterpiece it is which still sounds fresh twenty-years later, the fact it has aged so well is a testament to the longevity of the sounds Del Naja, Marshall and Vowles creared.
