(oh i can't even say "beechin" here? ;0) waxtrax back then wasn't just ministry, though it was "the house that ministry built," as the saying went way back when... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />thinking of which, another waxtrax group i dug, not only for their beats, but because they were soooo unapologetically political, was "consolidated"... ever hear of them extork? they were like mbm but really, really in-yer-face way back before - i dunno, maybe it was important to be so!actually just search youtube for "wax trax" if you never have; lots of interesting stuff there... but here's a sample of consolidated, just to try... (check out the barcode on the back of the guy's neck there near the beginning... think the wachowskis maybe were into this group before they wrote "the matrix"? ;0)[MEDIA=youtube]aKAFlHQRcj0[/MEDIA]maybe not very break-beat, but very "slam-beat"... loved this shiz, back then! there wasn't anything like it at the time. and i loved the political vibe... the push-back was really hard, against movies and music like this at the time (thanks somewhat to the PMRC movement in the late eighties, and thanks Tipper Gore for why i didn't vote for the 2k election! lame, i know, in retrospect... it wouldn't have changed the music industry anymore than it already had, with the parental warning labels that already had been self-imposed by the INdustry at the time... :\)... unfortunately it was all just grist for the "clear channel" radio industry to have a "9-11" to ban such stuff like "rage against the machine" from the airwaves... (look up the story; radio-station networks post-9-11 effectively "banned" playing RATM and other "agenda" music at the time! paving the way for the "disney-opera-ifivcation" of american pop radio to this day... and "hottest r&b sensations" like MF zendaya and her GD zit commercials twice/three times per comedy-central breaks ;0... ):\ yes, music is political! -everything- is political, even disney, no matter what my sister thinks, lol! ;0 just sayin', just to say i'm sayin'. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
