[1] Rev has also released several solo albums for a number of record labels, including ROIR and Puu.

His style varies widely from release to release, from harsh and abrasive no wave (Martin Rev) to light bubblegum pop (Strangeworld) to heavy synthesizer rock (To Live).

[6] The album, dedicated to her, is strong in religious imagery with most songs being titled in Latin.
