The record
Title: Suicide – A Way of Life
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1988, Electronic, Synth-Punk, New York City, New York
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
-
Studio Lore: The late-era Suicide method was still minimal and controlled: drum machines and synth patterns built like grids, then vocals cut as performance.
-
Media Narrative: By the late ’80s, their earlier “riot band” reputation had flipped into influence credit, as industrial and electronic acts caught up to their template.
-
Personal Struggle: Martin Rev has spoken about living frugally and obsessively working, treating music as discipline and survival rather than a glamorous career.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
