Following the double-disc reissues of Suicide's
first two albums, Mute continued to slowly roll
through the remainder of the duo's career. A Way
of Life, produced by the Cars' Ric Ocasek and
originally released in 1988 on Wax Trax!,
undergoes remastering treatment from Martin Rev,
and a second disc adds a recording of a London
performance from December 1987. This release,
along with the similarly treated reissue of 1992's
Why Be Blue? (the lesser of the two), should
hopefully detract from the widespread belief that
the first two Suicide albums are the only ones
worth owning. A seven-year gap between album
number two (although plugged with some thrilling
moments from Alan Vega's and Rev's solo albums)
and this one didn't help, and the duo couldn't
have possibly set the underground on fire as they
had during the '70s and early '80s. However, any
group inspired in the least by Vega and Rev would
be proud to have made this. It's an update of
their original sound, somewhere between the first
two albums in terms of accessibility, with small
traces of their adherents seeping through the
cracks. The second disc adds value for fans who
don't feel as if there's enough live material
floating around -- several songs were being heard
for the first time by the attendees. If Vega and
Rev weren't as confrontational as they had been in
the past, those in the crowd must've at least
realized that they remained as powerful.
NOTE: This is a remastered version and include a
live mix that was not on the first retail.
