Suicide by Suicide was one of the albums that I bought in the Eighties because the NME told me. It spoke of a world that I don't really and never will know although I've flirted with danger occasionally over the course of my life time. But I prefer to experience it through infusing the palpable but distant danger of records like this. That's the essence of Rock & Roll.
It's a record that has a pulse that was ahead of its time. Highy influential on the likes of Soft Cell, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails and myriad others. It was recorded in four days in New York City. It has a minimal urban edge which is still quite sensational.
