Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a highly controversial stylistic pivot, Graeme Revell transformed SPK from confrontational industrial noise pioneers into a slick, dance-oriented synth-pop act. Co-written with vocalist Sinan Leong, the record embraces upbeat Hi-NRG rhythms and polished electronic sequencing. While alienating early fans, the album generated minor club hits and showcased Revell's emerging knack for commercial arrangement.
