So, who can tell me something about a band called 'Suicide'? They fooled me. I was scanning the radio and came upon this wall of noise with some garbled voices in the background that sounded kinda nice, and I thought 'Hey, maybe this is the live broadcast of the LA New Music America series'. So, I listened, thinking I was listening to some 'serious' avant-garde work. Then the announcer came on and announced that it was (forgotten the title) by Suicide. I think this is their latest album. Anyone have it? Care to post a review? - Karl

I don't know anything about a new album from Suicide, but there was a New York band of the same name, composed of Alan Vega and Martin Rev releasing albums 5 or 6 years ago. They have at least two albums out under that name, and some solo albums out under their own (mostly Vega's). The Suicide LP's are more minimalist synth and voodoo vocals. ... gt
