Suicide consist of only two members: Martin Rev and Alan Vega. With no drums and no guitars It was archetypal electronic duo. Suicide's poppy but noisy music could be considered both
pre-punk and post-punk. They played cyberpunk music years before cyberpunk was invented.
Just like Lo
Teks from William Gibson's "
Johnny Mnemonic", Suicide used only basic technology. No fancy and expensive gadgets. First album was recorded in 4 hours with old
Farfisa organs, drum machine (bought by Rev for 30$) and Vega's outrageous shrieks.
And now you can listen to not one, not two, not even three but four, yes four Suicide concerts from 1978.
