Machine Age Voodoo

Machine Age Voodoo is the third studio album by Australian industrial band SPK, released on November 30, 1984 by WEA Records. It was first released outside the United States until 1985 when it was released by Elektra Records. Produced by Graeme Revell, the album is a radical departure from the band's previous material, leaning more towards synth-pop and dance-rock, rather than industrial music. It is the band's first album to feature Sinan Leong as the lead singer.
