Lately ive been starting to really dig SPKs later dance stuff! They got a very dark sound!

[PositiveLastAction]

Ah a golden era. SPK ventured in a disco direction but they are forgiven.

[88qiflow]

i have seen spk live in munich...so long ago... puhhh takes my breath away when i think how long ago...

greetings to all who are from this time... =)

was a nice concert...lustmord and test department was also there... like to get in a timemachine to get it back...this new kind of art in music...god bless the tubes..=)

[leet512]

ya I don't recall SPK saying anything about manifestos... I remember Skinny Puppy and TG and Cabaret talking about mission statements and so on... especially SP and TG hehe... but if SPK did too I missed it hehe

so if they changed their focus to different styles that doesn't surprise me at all

[gombie]

@leet512

How could you miss the SpK ''Dokuments''.

They had ideas. Most well known was the information overload and post-industrial strategy.

[Crijevo]

... and looking back on it now, even the early SPK was more a painful cry for attention than serious attempt at eutanasing the society. Sooner or later things change from the abrasive to something more comfortable. Revell did use the SPK name to his own extremes, resulting in this unexplainably Stock-Aitken-Waterman-esque, but I have to agree there is a subversive edge even to this drift away from their earlier, much beloved avantgarde phase.

[Crijevo]

I understand people being more aligned to "earlier phase" by any group... Early SPK is musically more primitive but more stimulating. This version is appealing in its own right but still there's the feeling of 'betrayal' - despite the fact people grow up and cannot play sheer metal their entire lives. It's tastier to see Revell and eventually 'SPK' progressing into decent growing old entity than one dimensional 'industrial' guerilla old prats banging that same early manifesto of theirs...

[acidkiller303]

catchy song

[Homoholic]

Too bad this is just a fragment of the promo video and quality (audio) is so poor. Other than that it's an awesome track!

All those narrow-minded poseurs who like industrial noise shit and think SPK has "mutated", don't seem to realize that to most people who like dance music, this track would be too alternative. Just because it's very danceable, doesn't mean there is something wrong with it, or with the vocals for that matter!

[gombie]

well, complaining about the change of SpK is like complaining about ministry's change to industrial metal (they 1st used to be synthpop, then..industrial)..

and i don't understand people who don't like this, if they like the older stuff... these two together... Is like uh....

Jing & yang.. ?

[nouveauxdecadence]

I agree...

"Breathless" is hardly what I would call mainsteem dance music. This still has edge and an alternative twist to it. Some people are so narrow minded!

[aussie80ss]

I have uploaded the full version, or close to, it is about 1 minute longer than this one

[fyisly28]

I saw SPK with this line up over and over again in Sydney at the Hordern Pavillion. Karina and Sinan were amazing. The shows were not the old metal SPK but there was still a lot of hard core stuff going on. The shows were so diverse and those girls held theyre own. I think SPK just evolved into the times they were in

[medi8er]

Karina Hayes sang on clip for movie Spirits of the Air Gremlins of the Clouds by Meaningful Eye Contact ... for Alex Proyas, The Crow, I Robot.  Her voice is beautiful haunting and ethereal

[beowulven]

Graeme Revell should have been king, but...

Thank gods for Andrew McKenzie.

[deepbluehue3]

Yes ... this could be considered blasphamy to die- hard hard -core ' cool ' folk ... but this was pretty good ' gay - bar ' house music for its time , and i mean that ... not a joke . And the flip-side of this album is killer .

[InsaneJericho66]

I'm currently uploading the entire early years of SPK to show this synthpop stuff is NOT the REAL face of SPK

[stricher667]

SPK wanna do the Modern Talking. Yeaaah!!!!

[new2guitarist]

I saw these guys live before Karina moved to france, At padington RSL in Sydney Australia, Copped a face full of grinding dust, and loved it. I remember the heat and smell of the place. Too cool.

[Sebhelyesfarku]

What a faggot disco crap

[chibivine]

Die by fire. :)

[industrialvideos]

Video added to playlist.

[forrestlyone]

I actually liked this song! It is catchy but at first it was hard to swallow.

[syzygywell]

I've liked and seen SPK and truly appreciate Graeme's film score work.. but jesus god this is blasphemy.

[sentimentalcorp]

awesome

[EYEmusique]

I think it's hilarious and cool that the most extreme and disturbing "band" mutated into this.

As far as clanging 80s E.B.M. pop goes it's OK - though some of the vocals are pretty iffy! very flat and off key.

To my ears "Auto Da Fe" (album) is the pinnacle collection of SPK.

[CaseofGlass]

My personal favorite is "Leichenschrei"...awesome from the beginning to the end.

And yes it is very amusing how SPK mutated...

[taoist77]

Fuckin 'A' and 1981's 'Infomation overload unit' was a complete industrial headfuck! I think 'IOU' and 'Leichenschrei' are the only albums worth having from these.---Then they 'Sold out' and flopped.

[fedbymum]

It sound like Bill Leebs Delerium sounds nowdays.

[pianoman74]

DELERIUM?! I got the Karma album, original. I think that was still with Kirsty Hawkshaw?

Please don't compare Hawkshaw's angelic "enlightening" [hint, hint] voice with that off-key yawling of that female "singer".

That would not be fair.

I hope only the sound quality is mediocre with this clip - maybe it's better on mp3.

[fyisly28]

I saw SPK with this line up over and over in Sydney at the Hordern Pavillion. Karina and Sinan were amazing.  The shows were not the old metal SPK but there was still much hard core stuff going on and shows were amazing. I think SPK just moved on

[flamda]

yessss this real camp!!!! i love it!

[warehouse5am]

wtf, this is not industrial... i didnt know they went into that 80s style pop. SPK was awsome industrial/noise in their earlier years...

[Bloodfromtheair]

Yes, they sadly "mutated" into this nonsense. Hard to imagine this is the SPK that gave us Slogun. Still we'll always have Leichenscrei and Information Overload Unit to remember how great they were...

[ash23neuro]

Many bands mutated. TG was the smartest because they disbanded and than started as 2 (later 3 projects). PTV two first albums were experimental and noisy and than they went hyperdelic and acid. I still like what they were doing but for many ppl it was treason.

[taoist77]

re;ash23neuro. ....And 'Caberet Voltaire' went all dancey.(crackdown,just fascination. etc.)But they were good at it. Not like this shit! As for TG,they were great,but why did they reform?

[gregorygom]

conoci spk por su gran aporte a la mùsica, no esperaba ver esto en su ultima etapa pero me agrada, aunque fue un cambio muy brusco de los spk que conocia.Pocos sabemos la importancia y valor de esta extraña banda SPK.

[therezabizarre]

it was not on machine age voodoo as i have that album.

[ash23neuro]

Gold and Poison

[roscoe91104]

Actually the live version on SPK's Ocean live album/ CD from 1987 features Graeme Revell's deep brooding vocals singing lead, which transforms this catchy pop song into something darker!

[existenze69]

This IS the original version from the album "Digitalis Ambiga, Gold and Poison" and always featured female vocals.

[Darkside1984]

Hombre decir que esta es de las mejores canciones de SPK es mucho decir...

Digamos que pertenece a la última etapa del grupo en la que se volvió descaradamente comercial después de unos comienzos tan experimentales y transgresores.

Mucho más recomendables para ubicarse dentro del estilo 'netamente' industrial sus primeros trabajos (Information Overload Unit y Leichenschrei).

[RP209]

Pero ... el industrial ¿ no era un estilo de musica donde los sonidos eran fruto de ruidos generados por maquinaria industrial ?

[TerrorAgainstTerror]

the original had female vocals. digitalus amgibua was the album i think it was or machine age voodoo.

[AMDA]

Una de las mejores canciones de SPK, pioneros del industrial. Grupo muy recomendable.

[robfalcon]

this is a remake isent it?. The original version dosent have female vocals in dose it?
