Alan Vega fue en sus inicios autor de música minimalista y con garra, sin otra ambición que la pureza. La prueba, este disco. Me sorprendió por su belleza cáustica, palabras y música sin ambages en aquella sociedad de tramoyas falaces. Y, aun hoy día, logra conmoverme como una gema que me acompaña sin falla en mi derrotero terrenal. Tras la inopia y la luz…
Beautiful, intense and magical - Suicide... My tribute to Mr. Alan Vega (RIP) and Mr. Martin Rev.
Wow!.. A completely different version of the Frankie story than on the first album... Whereas in that one, Frankie is20 yrs. old, works in a factory, 7 to 5, just trying to survive, married, six month old kid, gets 🔥 and can't pay rent can't" buy no food" ... He's desperate, decides to end it all for all of them. There's a lot of desperation in that one, and it shows in Vega's more tormented vocals, yelps and screams. In the demo, he's called Frankie Teardrop, detective.. age, wife not mentioned, and he's a Vietnam veteran , has killed a hundred people... The CIA hires him to do a hit, to take out"the space man", and he's no Major Tom, he's from alpha Centauri!.. tells Frankie to " look into his eyes, and he's hypnotized"... He takes him back there with him, tells him there he can forget all about the pain of his past and prevent the next wold war... Vega woulda mad a great short story writer, but then we would've have had Rev' s hypnotic pulsing organ to back it up... I realize I am only reiterating what you've already heard here, but. I hope it helps to bring it all in focus. Either way, these are the most epic of Suicide's ouvoure!.. Vegas Code. out .. Phew!.
saw these guys twice, first time late '79 at Irving Plaza then again at short-lived Boston club in '88. alan was a real punk--it was not an act, though it was all haute attitude a la Morrison, no physical stuff like Vicious or Chance. At Irv. Plz. he kept yelling, "HERE I AMMMMM!" over and over, very existentia.l
sounds like a shroom trip loop lol
Who’s chance?
@@xdef1ne James I think
Wow I never knew surrender was called “whisper” !!!
When I heard Sigue Sigue Sputnik loved this band, I had to check them out. Love the original synth sound. Hypnotic. The intensity of Vega makes them sound special. We've done a quadruple-album on bandcamp. No Serial Killer.
Oh my God I am 44 and I have just discovered this. Spacemen 3 suicide live version nods to this. I've been listening to that for 28 years. Never researched it
and every damn intro from "Loop" LOL
My first listening.
I'm 61 (which makes no sense to me. What the fuck is that!?!)
Tracking connections on Wikipedia and listening on UA-cam I was lead here.
Joy Division (who Suicide apparently played with in Manchester).
Then Human League.
Co-founder of HL, Ian Craig Marsh had earlier been in a performance art band called Musical Vomit, so called because a review of a Suicide performance described the performance as "musical vomit". At least they used the word 'musical'. This must've been while Suicide was performing in England.
This sounds more avant garde than punk.
ha ha .... Oh my goodness you lads are very young! ....82 year old here and still listening to suicide since 1977 when I witnessed them live at a packed gig on a roof in Hoxton..... There was no pcp at this period and if there were I would have taken it for that night I consumed every single drug known to man at the given time period..... Peace and love to all of you young fellas out there.
@@zikiemo ha ha thank God I've done loads of drugs and you give me faith to make it to my 80s
@@davethomas3863 Yes Ageism is b********t, personally i love my live i have no regrets, keep it up to y'all my dear lads
This is great! I like the rawness of these versions
awesome!!
Love them since 1980...
Tellement puissant et intemporel. Just fascination !
Increíbles Suicide adelantados a su tiempo y muy desconocidos .
beautiful
Wow, Whisper is a beautiful song! But I think they made the right decision not to release it on the album. Instead Dream Baby Dream as a ballad is more in tone with the rest of their songs. But boy, what a seminal sound on Whisper, maybe the prototype of the lo-fi-indie-synthy ballad. Thanks for uploading!
Whisper sounds like something that David Lynch should've definitely used in something by now
(EDIT)They released Whisper in their album "A Way Of Life". But with another mame and diferent lyrics, its called "Surrender". Beautiful song.
@@sergeysyroyezhkin thanks for that info! i did NOT know that :O
Thank youz
This is just awesome!
wow
amazing
Splendid! Resonant of early Cabaret Voltaire
hermoso
Whisper has very different vibe than Surrender, both are great but I find Whisper deeply sad, like Eno’s By This River.
Feeling of longing for love
🖤
They're good lads 🙂
very good

Are these demos released in some formats?
Did you finally come across any released format of these demos? Thanks
@@constantinosdiamantis9235 unfortunately not yet :-(
probably bootleg cassettes somewhere
IL TRIPPA LO SA!
where can I find a FLAC of these?
Kinda like these more.
These guys used to hang out with all NYC'S people of 70s PuNk & Underground RnR scene & Alan was a PuNk himself,don't don't be fooled by the synths !
It's not a synth. It's a broken Farfisa organ and some gadgets Martin Rev rigged up.
fooled by the "synths"? My man, those machines are what MADE them punk. They were the first of their kind, and all the other punks around them HATED it fuckin' heckled 'em and all sorts of shit for not being what the rest of the other bands were. THAT'S punk tf.
Buah!!
IT sounds absurd
Nope
These guy is not my
