Formed by Patrick Miller in San Francisco in 1979, Minimal Man cut two albums of dark industrial punk rock ("The Shroud Of" and "Safari") before Miller relocated to Europe in 1985, where he continued as a prolific creator of music and visual art, and as a collaborator with Tuxedomoon. His four European albums are "Sex With God", "Slave Lullabyes", "Hunger Is All She Has Ever Known" and "Pure". Miller returned to California in the 1990s, and died at home on 14 December 2003.

Patrick Miller moved to San Francisco in 1979, where he immediately began to experiment with music and film. Minimal Man began as a vehicle to produce soundtracks for these films, with the realization that anyone could do so given access to the tools. Miller also began to collaborate with a wide variety of punk, new wave and industrial musicians, including Tuxedomoon, and by October Minimal Man were performing at the legendary Deaf Club venue, and elsewhere.

Minimal Man became one of a select handful of influential groups from this era to bridge punk and industrial music with aggressive blasts of noise and electronic effects. As the core of Minimal Man, Miller sang (and screamed), played keyboards and manipulated tapes to create their dissonant, unsettling, experimental sound. One critic described the result simply as 'antimusic.'

  • These are my fave *Minimal Man* tracks.. and *To Hold You* too ;)

  • Oh minimal man...

  • unforgettable tracks!!!

  • This record was one of my dark secrets along with Coil, Controlled Bleeding, and Cabaret Votaire. I was the only one in my suburban enclave listening to 'em!

  • I used to live down the street from him on Valencia Street.  His shows were quite wonderful.

  • Nearly lost control. Dry wittiness at its fukin best

  • These guys were great. Do you have the LPs The Shroud, and then that album with the black girl decorated with toilet paper on the cover. That was serious dark music. Loved it.

    Tortured my poor parents with it.

    Thanks for posting this.

  • sadly he died a few years ago.
