1. SPK, “Machine Age Voodoo”, 1984

    Australian industrial band signs to Arista and goes pop!

    Note the appearance of the Fairlight computer at the 00:55 mark. This song is pretty bad, but I think with many tracks from this time you can genuinely hear the excitement they had for the new sampling technology.

    It’s no “Dr. Mabuse”, though.

    Oh yeah, Graeme Revell went on to score tons of films. You probably recognize his name.
