Music reviews of Suicide (First Album)
Music Review: Martin Rev and Alan Vega's perfect assault on the mind and senses
Rating: 5 Stars
The new release includes the riot-inducing live concert "23 Minutes Over Brussels." This is raw punk energy, nihilism mixed with idealism. Simply brilliant direct assault on the audience. Here on amazon you get to listen to the samples, do so before buying. This is not to all tastes, and though I love the album, it's not something I'm often in the mood to listen to.
Description of Suicide (First Album)
Reissue of hard to find first album with the bonus track 'I Remember' plus a bonus disc featuring a live set recorded at CBGB's in 1977 and their controversial '23 Minutes Over Brussels' performance. Double Slimline jewel case.This remarkable debut album, released a full seven years after the group had formed, was still way ahead of its time back in 1978. Suicide--Alan Vega on vocals and Martin Rev on keyboards and drum machine--are one of the most original acts in the history of popular music. They're often called the first synthpop act; synth-punk is closer to the truth--their music was far more edgy and menacing than that of any of their followers, with the notable exception of Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, et al. Suicide drew on the right protopunk influence (Nuggets-type stuff, Velvets, Stooges) and came out of the same Mercer Arts scene that bred the New York Dolls. Their guitar-bass-and-"real"-drummer-deprived setup outraged audiences; on the superb bonus disc you can hear a European crowd rioting in the background while their apocalyptic nursery rhymes sound away. Tough guy Vega croons like an evil Elvis bred on garage rock and performance art; the stoic Rev lays churning, repetitive, and oddly melodic lines down on his beat-up Farfisa, and the ancient drum machine--it actually sounds steam-driven--propels the music toward a ratty, Blade Runner future. "Dream Baby Dream," "Che," "Ghost Rider"--these eerie, sturdy, steam-punk anthems rank among the most visionary, melodic experiments the rock realm has yet produced. This reissue is bright and clear-sounding, and with the full disc of live performances (a 1977 CBGB's soundboard tape plus the legendary "23 Minutes Over Brussels" performance) this is an essential purchase. --Mike McGonigal
