The DJs first released a two-song single called "Apathy" in 1988. At this time the band was only Al Jourgensen (and maybe Paul Barker). In 1990 the band got together with other musicians, recorded two additional songs, combined them with the songs off of "Apathy", and released the four-song EP "Supernaut". The cover is extremely reminiscent of Black Sabbath's "Master of Reality" cover.

The Apathy single was released in 1988 on 12" vinyl only. There are two tracks:
1. Apathy (4:36)
2. Better Ways (5:24)
The Supernaut EP was released in 1990. It is 24:55 in length. There are four tracks:
1. Supernaut (6:39)
2. Hey Asshole (8:08)
3. Apathy (4:36)
4. Better Ways (5:24)
Supernaut is a cover of a Black Sabbath song from their "Volume 4" album, released 1972. The 1000 Homo DJs version also appears on the Wax Trax Black Box compilation (with different vocals) and on a Black Sabbath tribute album. This is a most excellent tune - here's a short sample (110k wav).
Hey Asshole is half of a dialogue spoken over a song. The half dialogue is spoken by a cop who is giving some kids a hard time.
Apathy and Better Ways were both written by Ministry for the Land of Rape and Honey album. It was decided that the songs didn't fit so they were released on the "Apathy" single in 1988. I have never seen this single and don't know very much about it.
Here are the lyrics to these four songs.
