AL JOURGENSEN (MINISTRY) |
|
“It’s Always Christmas Time” (released on 13th Planet records in Nov 2009) is a tribute to the life and work of the late Paul Raven. Of the collaboration with Jourgensen, guitarist MarkGT offers, "Al invited me to the 13th Planet compound to record guitars on some of the new RevCo material Al’s producing. He then invited me to collaborate on his first ever 'solo' project, which is surprisingly radio friendly. It feels like home for me as Raven was a close mutual friend of ours - and we both feel his spirit smiling down on our union!". MGT also collaborated on 'Voices in My Head', released as a bonus track on the RevCo 'Got Cock?' album.
