[b] More Suicide; Live 1977 - 1978 Discs 1,2 & 3
They are truly the first electro punk band. About five years ago, I saw them live in New York at the Knitting Factory. I was standing next to Ric Ocasek who produced some of their albums. Martin Rev was literally punching and karate chopping his synth. Alan Vega couldn't remember his lyrics so he made up new ones for every song. It was shambolic but good fun.

About 10 years ago, I saw an Alan Vega solo gig where he did a few songs with the opening band Panasonic who do minimal, buzzy, noisy techno with homemade synths. Alan was caterwauling on top of this music. The bartender summed it up as "singing love songs to your blender" which was an excellent description. [/b]
Many thanks for sharing Mike,

Suicide never really seem to do gigs do they – they’re more, sort of…’events’ heh! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bad Suicide ‘event’ either – they’re just too chaotic to deliver one!

I too saw the Alan Vega & Pan Sonic shows (they had also supported Suicide back in ’98) – I like your bartenders description! laugh

[b] Over the past weeks John's latest offerings:

[b]In The Glow - a perfect souvenir of the post-Metamatic era. Great live tracks and fantastic guitar playing by Robin Simon in particular Walk Away on disc one.

Shifting City - the remastering does make a difference and it is a very good album.

Pleasures Of Electricity - one of John's finest albums. Only slight differences between the remastered and the original. The original was so good that it's funny that it didn't chart. What people have been missing.

Finally, I just treated myself to Duran Duran's collection of A sides and B sides on the three disc The Singles 1981-1985 . Some fantastic B sides like Faster Than Light, Secret Oktober and Khanada.

Has there ever been a remaster of the first Duran album with 'Faster Than Light' 'Late bar' & 'khanada' on it?

You can contact me in Room 7609. wink [/b]
La-la-la-late ba-ar, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaaaa!

Sorry – as soon as I saw that post I had to start singing ! laugh

Leaving Nite Romantics alone for a bit and listening to Repercussions by Distance - very Leftfield Rhythm and Stealth-inspired Dubstep.
