SPK - Metal Dance (Desire)

Drums and guitars are replaced by 'metal' - i.e. banging rather large bits of it to produce musical sounds - and keyboards. The result is a savage sound that's strangely intoxicating - and surprisingly commercial. (Peter Martin, Smash Hits, October 27, 1983)

SPK are one of the breed of groups who bash metal to make music. SPK are one step up from the others, though. They actually build their hammering around old-fashioned things like tune, and melody. 'Metal Dance' is refined, clever . . . and commercial! Art meets Chart. (Paul Bursche, No 1, October 22, 1983)
