“On Suicide’s First Rehearsal Tapes, recorded in 1975, Alan Vega and
Martin Rev create minimalist aural structures, traces of which would
surface on their eponymous debut album, released on the Red Star label
in late 1977. “These songs are not a
sketchpad of semi-formed ideas. The First Rehearsal Tapes comprise an
audio diary of two men out in the ether, measuring themselves as
evolving individual artists and as a unit who would rely on
inseparability to realize their unique and often confrontational mass in
the decades to come. What the tapes also reveal is that Vega and Rev
were compositionally ambitious, capable of melody and form, while
resisting definition as they headed further into uncharted territory.
“The First Rehearsal Tapes afford the listener a glimpse into the
creative process of two groundbreaking, true art warriors with their
swords and shields leaning against the practice room wall. To understand
the absolute brilliance of Suicide’s first album as well as their sonic
adventures that followed, you have to start here with their earliest
recordings.” —Henry Rollins (excerpt from the liner notes)
