Editorial Reviews
Roy Trakin, Hits
"Think Phil Spector conducting the Star Wars Cantina Band. Ten best of 1996."

Product Description
ROIR is proud to release Martin Rev's self-titled solo debut album, originally released in 1979 on Charles Ball's Lust/Unlust label, now with 5 bonus tracks (3 unreleased & exclusive). Rev is best known for his confrontational work with Alan Vega as Suicide; considered one of the most influential bands of the last 30 years. This record, somewhere between the harsh sound of Rev's early work with Suicide and his more melodic, solo material ("See Me Ridin'"), is concrete evidence of how influential Rev's dirty American-motorik music really was.
All songs written & performed by Martin Rev. All compositions produced by Charles Ball & Martin Rev. Tracks 1-6 originally appeared on vinyl (Lust/Unlust Records 1980). Liner Notes by Steve Barker (The Wire UK).

Album Description

As part of our ongoing series of reappraised, re-mastered and INTENSIFIED releases of music from the 1950's and before. Let us consider EXOTICA!, well, here we hit the Daddy of them all, MARTIN DENNY! From the spectacular sleeve, featuring the Exotica Girl, Sandy Warner, in one of her many guises, (this time she seems to be disguised as Lounge Laura), to the cool hypnotic vibes of the music within, this is an ESSENTIAL album. Presented here in both it's Hi Fi Mono version, and it's Spectrasonic Stereo version (both VERY different beasts indeed!) for your especial pleasure, featuring notes by RevOla's very own Exotica Girl, Lounge Laura Taylor, and a whole load of wonderful tracks to chill out to! Pour the cocktails and dim the lights...for Martin Denny! The original hit album, carefully re-mastered in best Rev-Ola style! - With brand new liner notes - In both MONO and STEREO not mere cursory remixes, but two entirely DIFFERENT recordings. This is the first time these legendary albums have appeared on CD in this form! A must for all fans of 1950's lounge and Exotica, anyone who wants to hear where ambient music started, and anyone who likes to relax with a Mai-Tai in hand on a late summer evening!

Martin Denny - "Quiet Village".......2007-01-01

"Quiet Village" was the landmark album that signified the arrival of Exotica music in the late-1950's. The song "Quiet Village" was originally composed by Les Baxter, and popularized by Martin Denny. "Quiet Village" became the Exotica standard that was covered by composers including Don Tiare & The Alohas, and Webley Edwards. Arthur Lyman took this track and renamed it "Taboo Tu", which has been covered live by Mr. Bungle, and sampled by Gus Gus during their song "Oh (Edit)".

Album Description

Sixteen power pop songs from Marty Rev, founding member of Suicide and notorious NYC East Side Punk Rocker.

From the All Music Guide:
On Martin Rev's 1996 solo album, See Me Ridin', the co-founder of the legendary electro-rock band Suicide steps out on his own, and offers 16 tracks of minimalist bubblegum power pop. But don't worry longtime Suicide fans, drum machines, Rev's trademark synthesizers, and his half-sung/spoken vocals are the basis for each song, while Suicide's hypnotizing repetition is used to great effect as well. Although a wide variety of musical artists and styles come to mind when listening to the album (Buddy Holly, Guided by Voices, Legendary Pink Dots, and David Lynch-like soundscapes), it's still unmistakably Martin Rev. What carries the compositions is Rev's strong sense of melodicism — "Pillars," "Be Mine," "Secret Teardrops," and the title track contain such strong melodies that they sound hauntingly familiar. Attention industrial/techno-heads, it's time to get reacquainted with one of the genre's founders...Martin Rev. — Greg Prato

Customer Reviews:

It's a Beauty!.......2003-03-24

This is an album of great beauty. The songs have a simplicity and purity that is rare these days in pop and rock. It's like the classic naive teen pop soundtrack for sharing a strawberry shake, with that someone special to (with 2 straws), only done on synths instead of by a Doo Wop vocal group. Rev's singing style is unsophisticated and disarming, while the use of synths and general ethos brings to mind Brian Wilson's masterpiece of primitive pop The Beach Boys Love You. Rev's group Suicide always had romance aswell as darkness in their best work. There isn't much darkness here but there is a lot of romance. Pop music doesn't come much purer or more perfect than I Heard Your Name, it would be worth the price of admission for this track alone.
