Album Of The Day: The Ministry Of Archers by Joy Electric

Album Art of Joy Electric's The Ministry Of Archers album - On a gold color background, 7 large green arrows are pointed from bottom left to the top right at the same angle, some lower to the bottom-left and others have their point off the image to the top right. In the middle is a red arrow that comes to a point right in the middle. Below that is printed in a white, thin script font the band's name, and below that the album title in small print. Even smaller below that is the track listing and catalog details.

Earlier this year, I featured two recent albums from Ronnie Martin and the album from The Brothers Martin. But before all that, there was Joy Electric, Ronnie Martin's electronic pop/punk band. Released 20 years ago this past August is the tenth album by Joy Electric, a quick 32 minutes of Moog synthesizers and vocals that I consider very experimental. Much of it is haunting or a bit obnoxious at different times, and it's not my favorite Joy Electric album. But I am also always amazed at what Ronnie Martin can get all his synthesizers to do, so I definitely respect him and his unique form of art. One of these days I'll get around to featuring some of Joy Electric's '90s stuff that is still very synth-y, of course, but a bit more pop-punk in style, at least in my mind.
