Ministry


Animositisomina

Animositisomina is an album by Ministry, released on February 17, 2003. The title is a palindrome, made of the word “animosity” spelled without the final letter and both forwards and backwards. It is also very similar to Aoxomoxoa, which is an album by the Grateful Dead. According to an interview on Fuse’s Uranium, Jourgensen was bored at the time he was coming up with an album title.

“The Light Pours Out Of Me” was written and originally recorded by the band Magazine on their album titled “Real Life” in 1978.
