45 years ALAN VEGA · MARTIN REV or THE SECOND SUICIDE ALBUM!

08th of May 2025, 00:00

45 years ago, producer/fan/friend Ric Ocasek (The Cars) brought SUICIDE: ALAN VEGA · MARTIN REV to ZE Records to record "The Second Album" (May 1980).

Suicide was always about life:

Nightlife decadence with “Diamonds, Fur Coat, Champagne”… “Mr. Ray” who was the arresting officer - Detective Inspector Ray - when Alan & Marty got caught up in a raid on The Clash & Suicide's hotel in Blackburn on that infamous Clash On Parole Tour (1978)… street drama in “Harlem” and a sweet sexy lady “Shadazz” that came from outta the skies.

During the recording January 1980 at Power Station Studios, NYC, Alan Vega and Martin Rev received a surprise visit by Bruce Springsteen. A quarter of a century later The Boss would cover “Dream Baby Dream”, the single Suicide recorded with Ric Ocasek a year prior to the album’s release.

Listen for yourself why SUICIDE: ALAN VEGA · MARTIN REV is no “Fast Money Music” and just as essential as its predecessor. “Dance”-Dance-Dance. All night long.

This month it’s been 47 years since Kraftwerk released Die Roboter / The Robots!

07th of May 2025, 00:00

This month it’s been 47 years since Kraftwerk released Die Roboter (The Robots), the first single which was taken from their iconic album Die Mensch-Machine (The Man-Machine) album (May 1978).

The original 7” single releases contained Die Roboter (The Robots) on at the A-side and Spacelab on the B-side. Both were shorter (radio) edits as they would appear on the album. The single was released with German sung version of Die Roboter, as well as an English sung version on the A-side. Both featured the English sung Spacelab on the B-side.

The lyrics reference to the at that time revolutionary technique of programming robots and how they can act as slaves for the human race.

The Russian words "Я твой слуга" (Ya tvoy slugá, " mean “I am your servant") and "Я твой работник" (Ya tvoy rabótnik, "I am your worker”).

When the song is performed live, the band is nowhere to be seen onstage but is replaced by legless robotic copies bearing recabling faces of all members.

In 1991, a re-recorded and re-arranged version of the song was issued as a single from the band's album The Mix.

On this day, 20 years ago Nine Inch Nails released [WITH_TEETH]!

03rd of May 2025, 00:00

[WITH_TEETH] was released on 3rd May 2005 by Nothing Records / Interscope Records. It was the fourth studio album produced by Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and long-time collaborator Alan Moulder. Reznor recorded the album at Nothing Studios in New Orleans, the last release he recorded at the location before permanently relocating to Los Angeles. Former Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl contributed drums and live percussion on seven of the album's tracks.

After the band's critically acclaimed double album The Fragile (1999) and following tour Trent Reznor returned to New Orleans. During this time, Reznor became increasingly addicted to alcohol and drugs, resulting in depression and writer's block. After Reznor decided to go to rehab, he began work on the new album. In line with some of NIN’s previous material, the record features notably introspective songwriting, influenced by Reznor's battle with and recovery from alcohol and drug abuse. It’s audible that Reznor was also heavily inspired by the use of more analog electronic effects and instruments, specifically tape delay and modular synthesizers

The album generated three singles, The Hand That Feeds, Only and Every Day Is Exactly the Same.

Upon release, [WITH_TEETH] was well-received by critics, albeit less than their previous work.

[WITH_TEETH] became NIN’s second album to reach number one in the US, and was eventually certified as a golden record.

The album was released as a standard CD, double vinyl, a DualDisc and a CD/DVD combo. In addition to 5.1 surround and stereo mixes of the songs, the DualDisc (and DVD) contain the video for The Hand That Feeds, an interactive discography and a slide show of album artwork

In June 2015, an instrumental version of the album was released to Apple Music.

[WITH_TEETH] debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, selling 272,000 copies in its first week. The album has been certified gold in the United States and the United Kingdom and platinum in Canada.

36 years of Disintegration!

02nd of May 2025, 09:00

On this day, 36 years ago, The Cure released their 8th studio album Disintegration (Fiction Records, 2 May 1989). The record marks a return to the introspective and gloomy style the band had established in the early 1980s. As he neared the age of 30, vocalist and guitarist Robert Smith had felt an increased pressure to follow up on the group's pop successes with a more enduring work. This, coupled with a distaste for the group's newfound popularity, caused Smith to lapse back into the use of hallucinogenic drugs, the effects of which had a strong influence on the production of the album. The Cure recorded Disintegration in Oxfordshire, with co-producer David M. Allen who was The Cure’s producer from late 1988 to early 1989. Following the completion of the mixing of the album, founding member Lol Tolhurst was fired from the band. Disintegration is characterized by a significant usage of synthesizers and keyboards, slow, "droning" guitar progressions and Smith's introspective vocals.

Disintegration became the band's first commercial peak, charting at number three in the United Kingdom and at number 12 in the United States, and producing several hit singles including "Lovesong", which peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. It remains The Cure's highest selling record to date, with more than three million copies sold worldwide.
