From the Blog
A vinyl shortage pushed Horses from 20 October to 10 November 1975. The record that followed was cut in under three weeks at Jimi Hendrix's studio, with a producer the band argued with.
No guitars, no overdubs to speak of, and a drum machine from a jukebox maker. Suicide's 1977 debut was cut live in studio, and it still sounds like nothing else.
A $3,200 double album, mostly first takes, and a story that ends with the hero waking up. How Zen Arcade turned a hardcore band into a template for what came after.
