A nostalgic, admiring take on Martin Rev's 1980 self-titled solo album and its no-wave/electronic textures. The reviewer links the music to childhood memories, Commodore video-game sounds and advertising imagery. The piece reads as affectionate reminiscence more than a strict critique.

For:Fans of no-wave and experimental electronic music; listeners of Suicide; readers who enjoy nostalgic, image-rich music writing.
