]]> Suicide “Dream Baby Dream” 1979/2019. Limited edition 12″ reissue on orange vinyl. New wavey synth-punk, hypnotic and experimental, “Dream Baby Dream” ranks high as one of the best singles of the new wave/post-punk era by folks who rate such things (ie Pitchfork, Q). Ric Ocasek produced the single and several big-name acts have covered it, most prominent was Bruce Springsteen who included it on his 2014 LP High Hopes. The 12″ single has the “Long Version” which basically is just a lot longer than the single version that appears on Side B along with the scaccoto’d, electro-weird “Radiation.” Alan Vega’s lyrics are minimal and more spoken than sung over Martin Rev’s plink plunk keyboards. The duo never achieved real commercial  success – they were a bit too art-rock and riotously confrontational live – but were massively influential on the synthpop scene of the 80’s and the industrial dance groove in the 90’s.
