it is a used record...made in the Usa , released to djs and radio stations only with no commercial equivlent....1.Extended Remix2. Edit Version ...An industrial band whose later nucleus consists of multi-instrumentalist Graeme Revell and vocalist Sinan (born Sinan Leong), SPK has explored both the metallic noise and the dance rock ends of the industrial spectrum and provided a launching pad for Revell's subsequent career in movie music. Alternately standing for "Surgical Penis Klinik," "System Planning Korporation," or "Sozialistische Patienten Kollektiv" (the latter as a tribute to a German mental-patient-rights movement), SPK formed in Germany in 1978 when percussionist Derek Thompson met Neil in a mental hospital -- the former as a worker, the latter as a patient. Joining female vocalist Sinan, they formed an industrial noise band owing strong debts to Throbbing Gristle, Test Department, and Einsturzende Neubauten. The noisy, abrasive early SPK releases (1980's Information Overload Unit, 1982's Leichenschrei, and the live-in-Kansas The Last Attempt at Paradise) feature little information on the group -- personnel on the first album is listed as Operator on synth and vocals, Tone Generator on synth, and Mike Wilkins on bass, guitar, and vocals, while the live album features Oblivion and Jack Pinker. SPK gained a reputation as a band who would do anything to shock their audience; early performances featured slides and films of surgery, eventually moving to more industrial themes with the use of flame throwers and oil drums. Problems ensued at their London gigs; in 1983, they nearly hit members of the audience with a heavy metal chain, and another gig was stopped due to fire-code violations (the band was welding onstage). 1983's Auto-Da-Fe moved SPK more into dance/shock rock territory, but it wasn't until the addition of Australian multi-instrumentalist Graeme Revell in 1984 that their sound started to jell. Machine Age Voodoo, From Science to Ritual, and 1986's Zamia Lehmanni established a more varied, inventive approach....ll as credit cards,Powered by eCRATER .
