"On Suicide's First Rehearsal Tapes, recorded in 1975, Alan Vega and Martin Rev create minimalist aural structures, traces of which would surface on their eponymous debut album, released on the Red Star label in late 1977.... The First Rehearsal Tapes afford the listener a glimpse into the creative process of two groundbreaking, true art warriors with their swords and shields leaning against the practice room wall." – Henry Rollins (excerpt from the liner notes)
featuring samples from "Chase the Devil," a reggae song recorded in 1976 by Max Romeo with the backing of Lee "Scratch" Perry's house band, The Upsetters.
