Haunting second album of minimalist analogue synth experimentation from Suicide's Martin Rev. Never before pressed to vinyl in the States. Previously available as an import on French label New Rose.

2013 release. "In 1980, shortly after Suicide's second full-length, Martin Rev released his first solo album on preeminent No Wave label Infidelity (Lust/Unlust). Uninhibited by the trappings of a collaborator, Rev was freed to explore his most experimental and pop leanings with dirty synths, dark melodies and dreamlike textures, and produced a masterpiece of modern alienation that captures a uniquely New York landscape. Echoing other electronic forerunners such as Silver Apples and Kraftwerk, and foreshadowing the work of Aphex Twin and Air, Rev's solo outing rests firmly in the lineage of unnerving sounds from the furthest fringe of maladjustment."

Martin Rev, the avant keyboard half of NYC punk pioneers Suicide, releases a solo album on the Blast First Petite label. Stigmata was recorded in New York City and features 14 tracks that heave with glitched-out, digitally-distorted, synthetic orchestral sounds -- quite unlike anything he has released before. A timely "flash-forward" of an album, it has already been described as "genius" by Spiritualized main man, Jason Pierce, and continues Rev's now four decades of eclectic electronic musicianship. And to further celebrate the album's release, Neu Galleries (London) showed a series of Rev's "abstract instinctive scores" throughout November 2009. Blast First Petite also continues to celebrate Martin Rev's partner, Alan Vega's 70th birthday with the release of their Suicide covers series with tracks from Bruce Springsteen, Primal Scream, Peaches, Sunn 0))), Lydia Lunch, Iggy Pop, Julian Cope, Vincent Gallo, and many more.

"Martin Rev is known as the music-writer half of the legendary NYC duo Suicide, who pioneered a revolution in electronic sound in the late 1970s. Suicide's rough hypnotic and minimalist sound paved the way for most of the electronic bands of the 1980s and set the base for the following emergence of techno/electronica. In his solo career, Martin Rev has released three albums so far, his last in 1997. As a solo artist Rev, who was originally a free jazz keyboard player, has a more melodic sound than Suicide. Strangeworld is a collection of his new songs from the past few years, all of them previously unreleased. All the production, instruments, and vocals are done by Rev himself. The bare sounds of synths and electronics, his delicate voice and manner of singing, makes Strangeworld a very honest and intimate album. One cannot avoid the impression that Martin Rev has seen life from enough different sides to know what he's singing about."
