"Early Trax" is a CD from Industrial music metal band Ministry. The album was released in October 2004. It contains either released or (previously) unreleased songs from 1981 through to 1984, as well as some remixes of those songs (roughly half of the album by time is made up of remixes of songs also on the album). The album is thus similar to the 1985 LP "Twelve Inch Singles" and contains much of the same material; except in CD form. Most of the songs on the album were initially released on the Wax Trax! label. As can be expected from Ministry's early work, the album features a strong synth pop and new wave flavour - Ministry moved more definitively into the industrial metal genre later into their career (post "Twitch").
