Suicide: 'Alan Vega and Martin Rev' is the second studio album by the American band Suicide. It was produced by Ric Ocasek of The Cars for Ze Records in 1980. Recorded in January 1980, Ocasek gave keyboardist Martin Rev new equipment to perform on while Alan Vega distanced himself from the music to concentrate on the vocals. Michael Zilkha of Ze pushed to give the album a more dance music oriented sound, hoping that disco musician Giorgio Moroder would produce it.
The album was released in May 1980 and listed as one of the best albums of the year by the NME. Alan Vega felt that "nothing big for happened" after its initial release. Both Vega and Rev issued solo albums following Suicide: Alan Vega and Martin Rev.
