Commercial Suicide is the fourth studio album by English musician Colin Newman, released in 1986 by record label Crammed Discs.
A massive change in style for Newman, Commercial Suicide is reflective and highly orchestrated. His next LP, It Seems, followed a similar path, albeit with far more use of sequencers – something Newman would continue to work with for a number of years. Both Commercial Suicide and It Seems featured Malka Spigel, who married Newman in 1986, and who has been included in all subsequent solo and collaborative work.[1]
Reception
The album received positive reviews. Fact called it "an unmitigated delight: a complex, consoling, literate pop classic",[2] going on to rank it the 69th best album of the 1980s.[3] Wilson Neate of AllMusic wrote that the album "approaches listeners in a more subtle, measured fashion, its sound often deliberate and spacious, at times recalling the abstract textures of Provisionally Entitled the Singing Fish (1981). That's not to say this album lacks a pop sensibility." He went on to write that it "prefigure[s] [...] the deconstructed symphonic pop done so well by Blur."[4] Jim Derogatis and Wilson Neate, writing in Trouser Press, said that Commercial Suicide combined Newman's "ambient and pop interests by bringing a more spacious, minimalist approach to vocal-driven tunes."[5]
