"I recently purchased a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC turntable from you, and I am really impressed with the level of detail and customer service I’ve received so far. The instruction folder is a great touch, and your excellent site gave me tons of info and insight into buying and setting up the turntable. Bravo!" - P. Cuffari
"Wow. I just got the turntable. It is amazing. I love the bags, I love the fact that I got it literally less than 24 hours after ordering, I love the cartoon easy set up pics, the stickers, record cleaner brush, and the sound is great for the money. SOOO Happy!! Thanks guys and gals--you just created a customer for life."- R. Montgomery
"I love the Turntable Lab, great service & great products. There's no other store or site I'd rather buy my gear from. I'll sure keep on purchasing my equipment from TTL."- D. Martinez

"Turntable lab constantly deliver the best and most current selection of modern music on all formats. It's my first stop for vinyl house and disco music. The reviews are accurate and I can trust the buyers to source quality product. Customer service is second to none and Bret has been nothing short of outstanding in every interaction we've ever had. Proud to be a Labhead." - G. Laurie
"First off I just want to thank you and your team for everything you do! The equipment and products you sell are awesome and exactly what artists like me need. I remember when I first discovered Turntable Lab by searching online for DJ equipment. I was looking all over for different equipment that I needed and when I found TTL I was relieved to find out that you guys basically had everything I was looking for." - C. Arroyo

After shedding any shred of new wave pretensions with the highly electronic Twitch and the ever more aggressive Land Of Rape And Honey, Ministry hit the world with The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste. Its harsh blend of distorted guitars, electronic rhythms, and vocalists Chris Connelly and Al Jourgensen's increasingly gnarled vocals proved to be just right for the time. Although they may have moved on from their earlier sound, Ministry was poised to take on a world of new followers. They took cues from the speed metal of Metallica and Slayer, that was popular at the time, and smashed it together with intelligence and experimentalism that lies at the roots of industrial music. From the opener "Thieves," with its now legendary drill sample, through the dirge metal of "Dream Song," Ministry took their listeners somewhere else.
- expanded edition, includes bonus tracks 'Burning Inside (12" Remix),' 'Thieves (12" Remix)' + 'Smothered Hope'
- 180g black double vinyl pressing
- includes printed insert
- original release year: 1989
- music label: Sire 2025
