Machine Age Voodoo, the third studio album from Sydney's SPK, came out on WEA on 30 November 1984, and anyone who'd braved Leichenschrei could be forgiven for checking the sleeve twice. Graeme Revell, the band's mainstay on keyboards and percussion, produced it, and he steered the old industrial clatter toward the dancefloor: synth-pop gloss and dance-rock muscle, the metal-bashing tamed into something you could actually move to.
The big change is up front. Sinan Leong, who'd joined in 1983, sings lead on a full SPK album for the first time. "Metal Dance" and "Junk Funk" were the singles, the latter retitled "Machine Age Voodoo" when Elektra issued the album in America in 1985.
