Alan Vega 1980 : first solo record: Jukebox Babe - After two
albums of Suicide, Alan Vega built his own musical identity, quite
different from Suicide'one, since it's based on a minimalist
destructuration of the rockabilly. And it was a success: the title Jukebox
Babe has to be considered as a hit! (and actually was in France where Alan
Vega became an unlikely magazine pin-up).

same vein as the first one, but with a real band, and with a cover (not a
common thing for Alan Vega): a revisited Be-Bop-A-Lula.

84 as 'Dance

months before to record with the team Darnell / Ze records for the
compilation "A Christmas Record " (see below).

1983
promo LP w.same ref. but "promo" on record label reissued on CD in 2004 with "Just A Million Dream" (see below) |
Saturn Strip A transition album between the un-structured rockabilly of
his first 2 albums, and his future production more electronic. Moreover
it's an excellent LP, produced by Ric Ocasek (of the Cars, and a fan of
Suicide since the beginning). Alan Vega thus finds itself signed by a
major! (maybe the reason why this could be qualified as his more
'circulatable' LP). "Annie je
t'adore"

Just a Million
Dreams His second and the last (?) record for a major: some people related that Elektra tried to kick him out of the recording sessions of recording, wishing to produce what had already been recorded. In vain... but then, Alan Vega had to find another label. However, this LP is a little disappointing, almost "wise", at least the most "pop" (forever) of all Vega's production. You have to listen to it to beleive it !!!

Deuce Avenue The solo production of Alan Vega sets out again when
meeting with Liz Lamere: she is the second of a list of
partners-drums&machines, after Martin Rev. This record is strictly in
the vein Alan-Vega-minimalism.

|
Power On To Zero Hour 10 tracks mixing up electronic, metal, indus. music... de
mélange de musique électronique, métal, industrielle ... Together again
with Liz Lamere, except than now Alan Vega plays guitar & keyboards. A
good record, still uptodate several years after. "This album is dedicated to Frankie"

1994 réed.CD Infinite Zero - 14507-2

New Raceion The eleven tracks on the album are, as Vega himself puts
it, "About trying to bring different kinds of music
together into a new race, much the same as America is becoming a
multi-racial society, New Raceion is about a new way of
thinking." (quoted from 2.13.61
Publications). Again, Ric
Ocasek joined the project, and that's a full band playing. One of the best
Alan Vega's LP, with 2 tracks that should have been hits (Pleaser, Gamma
Pop).

1995
|
Dujang Prang In this LP he seems to divert himself, speaking kind of
japanese and beeing front of a beat from hell from Liz Lamere. Some tracks
are really excellent, as Sacrifice. The only one that may have been bored seems to be Mark
Kuch.

Mutator Just saw this CD on sale ... too expensive for me, but I thought I should list it here although I'm not actually able to confirm the information, and even the reality of what was presenetd as a unissied LP by Alan Vega (!??) It might also just be anonymized tracks from Revolutionary Corps of Teenage Jesus (issued on Creeping Bent 1996/1999)... any more info welcomed : jes (à) limbos.org

1999

2007 Traducing the urban rhythm and energy, the big city
pressure, but much more obscure than his music from this year (i.e.
Rev.Corps), that's kind of indus. music, but might be then -in height
years- just a music of actuality (as it seems to be that man's habit).

Station As Vega himself says, “Station represents a kind of
culmination point for me. It gathers up many of the elements that have
been in my previous work and takes them all the way. In many ways, it's my
most truthful record in that I'm now at the age where it’s easier for me
to listen to my own heart-beat and act on it creatively.”
