Ink 19 :: Martin Rev
Martin Rev (ROIR Records). Review by Matthew Moyer.
MARTIN REV MARTIN REV ROIR Records If you're Martin Rev, the instrumental terror faction of confrontational electro masterminds Suicide, how do you unwind from getting attacked by audiences, overlooked by the general public and pioneering dance and industrial music? Simple. You make a compelling album ...
Ink 19 :: Suicide
Suicide, Alan Vega, Martin Rev, Frankie Teardrop,Suicide,American Supreme,Mute Records,Matthew Moyer
...way, Vega got over his writer's block and laid down hellish scats and menacing soulboy croons over tracks that his enigmatic songwriting partner, Martin Rev, turned out like a Bizarro World Tin Pan Alley. Yeah, so as I was saying, out of a case of confidence-destroying writers’ block comes American...
Ink 19 :: Alan Vega
Suicide devotee Matthew Moyer sits down with Alan Vega to talk about his new solo album Station, the mysteries of the creative process, whether Bruce Springsteen is indeed the Boss, becoming an entertainer and... a family man. This be the verse.
...hatred. Despite being so relentlessly at odds with musical trends, the marketplace and the music-listening public at large, Vega (vocals) and Martin Rev (keyboards/drum machines) turned on all the right people, cultivating a small but discerning fanbase that later went on to form influential bands of...
Ink 19 :: Suicide
April 1998 :: Live Ink :: Suicide (Matthew Moyer)
...beats kick in and the curtain is finally pulled away to reveal Suicide, maybe the last time for awhile. It is a jarring moment, like a good slap. Martin Rev is already out, on a mounted dais; all Lou Reed junkie looks, Terminator/blue-blocker shades, and clad head to toe in leather. He intently scowls...
Ink 19 :: Golden Boy with Miss Kittin
Or (Emperor Norton). Review by Matthew Moyer.
...The Hacker sucks. Plus I dig this cat's style, and no, I don't mean the cut of his lapel or the shade of his max factor, it's his musical style -- Martin Rev's kinder, gentler keyboards on Suicide's second record, Brian Eno circa Another Green World and Kraftwerk circa Autobahn all harmoniously riding...
Ink 19 :: Metal Church
November 1999 :: Ink Spots :: Metal Church (Matthew Moyer)
...to go toe-to-toe with anyone on this one), Kurdt Vanderhoof is a legend. I'd just love to say something here about going to confessional with Rev. Kurdt at the Metal Church, but I don't think I could pull it off. Oh, what the hell. Let the sermon begin. You're going to hate me for asking this one, as...
Ink 19 :: Ping Pong Bitches
Ping Pong Bitches at Camden Dingwalls in London, England on March 3, 2002. Concert review by Matthew Moyer. Photos by Heather Lorusso.
...the dying embers of rock and roll/retro-futurism/bubble gum pop/industrial noise beneath the spike of her boot heel. Or maybe Ping Pong Bitches are Martin Rev and Alan Vega melted down to protomatter and then reconstituted and metamorphosed into three sneering ice princesses kitted out like a cross...
Ink 19 :: Alan Vega
Station (Mute Records). Review by Matthew Moyer.
...his voice collapsing into a defeated moan. And then.... silence. Restless. Relentlessly modern. Pretty much everything Alan Vega predicted alongside Martin Rev in Suicide has come to pass, so I think you'd better pay extra close attention to Station. The man's a fucking prophet, after all. Mute Records...
Ink 19 :: Nerve Exhibit
Johnny Nero,Nerve Exhibit,The Horror of Amusement,(self-released),Matthew Moyer
.... In fact, if I may be so bold, I’d suggest that Nero strip his sound down and muddy it up even further. I get strong flashes of Alan Vega and Martin Rev’s Suicide at numerous points during The Horror of Amusement, and I think that one could do worse than take inspiration from one of the most forward...
Ink 19 :: Staring at Sound
Both rose-eyed fan and band insider, the Flaming Lips' official biographer takes Matthew Moyer by the hand backstage into their fabulous rock n' pop theater. Find out why Jim DeRogatis's bio on an indie success story (that hasn't made us cringe yet) makes this volume worthy of top spot on your reading pile.
...touring with Beck. (Legality be damned, release the tapes!) But ya'know what? Boo fucking hoo, because I finally got the inside scoop on Mercury Rev's Jonathan Donahue and his mysterious involvement with the Lips, and that means a lot because except in oblique he said/she said style, it's never been...
