Legendary NYC duo Suicide get their tune Frankie Teardrop remade by Xeno and Oaklander. Suicide's Martin Rev comes along to the session with the original drum machine, a Seeberg Select-A-Rhythm 601B.
"No sacred cow was safe from Suicide. Reviled and revolutionary, Alan Vega & Martin Rev used a cheap drum machine, fevered screams and a murder to create a classic. In this episode, more than four decades later, Martin Rev meets Xeno and Oaklander to talk about the track and watch the Ghostly International duo reimagine "Frankie Teardrop."
