Remembering Suicide
Posted on December 25, 2009
Suicide has always been one of my favorites. They’re sort of a cult phenomena from the late 70′s. Just two guys, a keyboard or two, a drum machine, and some drug induced ramblings from a guy that seems possessed. I want what he’s on, lol! But its not just great for the above per se. It’s great because it’s bones bare minimalist approach and looping early industrial sounding keyboards keep you mesmerized. It’s great because singer Alan Vega conveys a person on the absolute edge of mad emotion and strange energy through his wild screams. This is stuff best played loud. Here is their classic “Ghost Rider”.
