Suicide - Rain Of Ruin (1988)

Biography:
A mainstay of the New York rock underground since the early 1970s (thereby prefiguring Soft Cell and all the other synth-based duos as well as an entire subsequent generation of droney noisemongers), Suicide mixed Alan Vega's blues-styled vocals and Marty Rev's synthesizer (originally a broken-down Farfisa organ they couldn't afford to repair). Escaping the dingy clubs of Manhattan, Suicide went on to cause riots in Europe while on tour supporting Elvis Costello and later provided the soundtrack for Werner Fassbinder's film In a Year with 13 Moons. Often confrontational in nature, they always provoked extreme reactions by producing a unique, obsessively American electronic music of enormous and enduring influence.

  • A song which meant much to my spirit of youth as I focussed on attaining unto enlightenment and a refinement of intellect, seeking the waters of understanding which would bring to ruin (10 of Swords in the Taro) ideas unworthy of continuance and so allow the flow of fire continue to run free of falsified foundations thus rendered but ash to be sifted at whim, the driving beat of a hard pavement walk into winds unrescinding, great music with none of the dance club glitz one might hate of late.

  • i Love it!

  • for sure one of the best Suicide tracks togheter with Dominic Christ and Jukebox Baby 96 from theyr third album but difficult to compare with any of the first album gems, the unique and unsurpassed original Suicide sound.

  • Dear poster, could you send me this song? Have it on CD but it's impossible to copy on my laptop.
