CD - Alan Vega - Collision Drive

1CD

"Collision Drive" is Alan Vega's second solo studio album, originally released in 1981. If his debut laid the groundwork for a raw, minimalist take on rockabilly and blues, "Collision Drive" expands the palette with a grittier, more layered, and unfiltered energy. Here Vega's lyrics channel universal themes rooted in his fascination with street life, science fiction, politics, comics, love, and the mysteries of the universe.

It's a record that pulses with feeling and rebellion, displaying the full spectrum of human experience and Vega's evolving vision. Sonically, this album is more dynamic than his first. Ditching drum machines for a live drummer, and enlisting a hard rock band to back him, "Collision Drive" offered a different view of Vega's artistic vision.
