Suicide: Alan Vega and Martin Rev is the second studio album by the American band Suicide. It was produced by Ric Ocasek of the Cars for ZE Records in 1980...

At the end of 1980, Suicide: Alan Vega and Martin Rev was listed as one of the year's best albums by the NME. In his retrospective review for AllMusic, Andy Kellman said of the album: "Perhaps it's not as renegade as Suicide, but it's an arguably better, more realized work, and just as essential".[8] Select's Ian Johnston, reviewing the Blast First re-issue, said that the album was "unjustly less celebrated" and sounded "remarkably like contemporary electronica", referring to it as "a timeless recording"

IT'S ABOUT TIME 4 THIS ONE:

"Rocket rocket U.S.A
Shooting on down, I'm on my way
TV star riding around
...
Whole country is doing a fix
It's doomsday, doomsday
---
Speeding down the skyway
100 miles per hour
Gonna crash
Gonna die
Ooh yeah
And I don't care"

Suicide is the debut studio album from the American rock band Suicide. It was released in 1977 on Red Star Records and produced by Craig Leon and Marty Thau. The album was recorded in four days at Ultima Sound Studios in New York and featured Martin Rev's minimalist electronics and harsh, repetitive rhythms paired with Alan Vega's rock and roll-inspired vocals and depictions of urban life.

Upon its initial release, Suicide was greeted with some favorable reception from the UK press, but was universally panned in the United States, where it failed to chart. However, the album would soon be regarded as a milestone in electronic and rock music....The album also influenced artists in various genres, including Bruce Springsteen, the Fleshtones, Spacemen 3, and Peaches. - Wikipedia

"“As one half of the band's suicide, Martin Rev combined minimalism, rock and roll, and noise into a sound that changed both electronic and punk music and continues to influence artists in the present day. Rev was born in the Bronx and grew up on a musical diet of classic rock and roll and free-thinking jazz, which provided an unlikely grounding for a style that would influence avant-garde and DIY culture.”—RA
