Ballard (programming). Ministry mainstays Al Jourgensen and Paul Barker were remarkably busy during the late 1980s and early '90s. In addition to releasing their best albums during this period--particularly the aggro-techno opus THE LAND OF RAPE AND HONEY and the fierce, guitar-laden THE MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO TASTE--the duo dabbled in many side projects, a number of which are collected here. The swirling stomp of 1000 Homo DJs' take on Black Sabbath's "Supernaut" proved to be more conventionally "rock" than anything Jourgensen and Barker had recorded under the Ministry name, while the "No Name No Slogan" single, credited to Acid Horse, matched them up with the influential industrial act Cabaret Voltaire. However, the most notable aspect of SIDE TRAX is the inclusion of Pailhead's entire TRAIT EP. One of the most unusual collaborations in rock history, Pailhead was essentially Ministry fronted by Ian MacKaye, just as his new band, Fugazi, was forming. Although pairing a famously straight-laced hardcore icon with a decadent, former dance-pop group might sound like a recipe for disaster, TRAIT works wonderfully, with Jourgensen and Barker's let's-get-heavy phase perfectly synced up with MacKaye's shouted vocals and non-conformist lyrics. The driving, defiant "Don't Stand in Line" and "I Will Refuse" alone are worth the price of this compilation.
