"Sensoria" was a single from Micro-Phonies, Cabaret Voltaire's sixth full-length album and the most accessible thing they had put out, released on 29 October 1984. Richard H. Kirk and Stephen Mallinder wrote it, and Flood, the British engineer, co-produced it as the band pushed further into the electro and synth-pop direction they had started chasing on The Crackdown.
The video found its way onto MTV, and that airplay made it a bigger draw than its fellow single "James Brown". The CD version of the album carries an alternative 12-inch mix. The Rolling Stone Album Guide heard the duo finally turning their fondness for static structures into something close to real dance music.
