I agree. In fact, I think that the psychedelic pieces in that album are closer to post-punk than psychedelic rock. That's just the vibe that I got from them, though. Occasionally, when I want to listen to some post-punk, I tend to play that album along with many others...

Well, I know for a fact that they influenced Pere Ubu, Chrome, and The Raincoats. However, I can't specifically say who or what else they influenced... but I can say that their first two releases contain early examples of: punk rock and new wave, industrial music, noise rock, noise, post-punk, and indie/alternative rock. They were also helped pioneer free improvisation, which was a relatively young genre at the time.

I think it's their best album actually.

Delia Derbyshire = amazing

I think that The United States of America and Silver Apples rank among them as well. I mean... Silver Apples were basically a more psychedelic version of Suicide. Also... they pretty much invented minimal synth, and they helped pioneer electronic dance music.
