The Ministry of Chris Connelly...Damage Control, Damage Control

I was listening to more Jah Wobble recently. The last thing was The Damage Manual, a sort of Industrial supergroup from the early naughts.

The Guradian sez:
          "the first great band of the 21st century."

Members included Jah Wobble - bass, Geordie Walker (Killing Joke) - guitar, Martin Atkins (Killing Joke, PIL, Nine Inch Nails) - drums, Lee Fraser (Sheep on Drugs) - synthesizer, & Chris Connelly (Finitribe, Ministry, Revolting Cocks) - vocals. 

 

 

That led to this mega-set of works by Chris Connelly, who I had never really shared before on NSS.

Better start where this all began...The Damage Manual...

Note: More synchronicity, most of this was mixed by Bill Laswell.
