""Sacred Bones and the Vega Vault Project are reissuing the first two solo records by late Suicide co-founder Alan Vega. Remastered from the original tapes, 1980's and 1981's Collision Drive arrive January 23 on LP, 8-track, and, for the first time, digital streaming platforms. A deluxe, 2xLP edition of the self-titled album will also be released, featuring previously unheard demos.""
""Alan's music thrived on interpretation," shared Liz Lamere, Vega's widow and frequent collaborator, in a press statement. "He believed the meaning of his songs belonged to the listener. His lyrics painted emotional and conceptual landscapes but he resisted explaining them. He always wanted the listener to bring their own experiences, imaginations, and emotions into what listening to his music and words meant to them, and ultimately that openness is part of its power.""
