I saw this video first and last on TV in 1984 during the German show *Formel Eins*, a watercooler-talk inspiring video chart presentation in the 80s. Somewhat later, when we discovered “alternative” music, I learned about about SPK’s earlier work: as an Australian art collective they did industrial punk out of noise, metallic drums and indecipherable vocals. How this went together with Junk Funk\* was an intriguing mystery to me that was hardly solvable without the Internet. 

Today, of course, it is easy to find out what happened: One SPK member, Graeme Revell, hijacked the band’s name and produced much more accessible music together with his wife Sinan Leong (who does vocals on *Junk Funk*). Later he went on and became a movie score composer in Hollywood.
