Scheiß auf Konventionen ! SPK haben immer Ihr Ding gemacht und zwischendurch Kommerzielle Musik um die Kohle zu machen Sachen wie adolf wölfi und musique brut oder gerechtigkeitslige zu realisieren. Graeme Revell ist einer der vielseitigsten Komponisten zur Zeit und nicht umsonst überaus erfolgreich im Soundtrack Geschäft.
SPK passen in keine Schublade.

Making it as the band name tells something about their influence to them, of course they inspired spk-band, their ”enemy” wasn’t capitalism, but the ‘’sick system itself”, read the dokuments and you understand.

The system has made us sick. Let us strike the death blow to the sick system.
- SPK Slogan (the political group which inspired the band name, not the band)

Another SAVAGE S.P.K. KILLER ,magic!

alright i guess. Maybe they were alittle ahead of their time
July 17th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
Oh that’s true… Wonder how/why did Al go into Industrial and industrial metal..
July 17th, 2010 at 2:08 pm
yeah…Zamia Lehmanni was an interesting listen. I need to re-download it
but yeah, that would’ve been awesome. Kinda like what happened to Ministry, only more intense, alarming & insane
good one

But after metal dance came the Zamia Lehmanni… Almost like a apology..
Even tough… I think it’d have been great, if the eras would have been reversed… if they would have started as a metal dance-band, and then all of a sudden come a band that bashes animals corpses and dresses ups creepy and shows autopsy images etc..

My?????Please~~~~~!!!!!!

come to think about it, it does add to the crypticness to SPK
Though I can understand that Tone Generator & Graeme tried to keep the sound the same (Probably Tone more so than Graeme) then Tone left due to conflicting ideas of what direction SPK should go into after Leichenschrei & the AutoDaFe compliation, which ultimately resulting in that embarassing Metal Dance garbage

no one has an excuse to be “confused” anymore.

Cant believe he said Neil was a patient, how arrogant, Neil WAS the psych nurse, Graeme was just an orderly at the hospital. Well at least he admitted here that Neil died before 1981, this must have been before he changed his death to 1984.
What a fuckwit

That interview is so funny, Graeme (operator) is so full of shit, everyone knows David and Neil wrote the early songs. This narcisistic attitude of his really helps to explain the gulf between the great early SPK and the embarrasingly crap “Metal Dance” shite.
Long live old SPK.

Interview part 3
Charlie: He killed himself?
Operator: Yes… and actually recently we had another guitarist who killed himself, so that’s why the group’s so unstable all the time.
Charlie: Why did they kill themselves?
Operator: Don’t know. They didn’t tell me. They didn’t leave me anything in their wills either, which is annoying.

An old SPK interview with Greame in london feb 1981 , may explain how spk lost it’s way after Neil died and Danny and David left the band. ( Greame is Operator )
Charlie: How long have SPK been going?
Operator: First started in January 1979 I think, but the first time we played together was June l979 and that was with me, a psychiatric nurse, a guy called Nehil who was a mental patient - schizophrenic, and two punk guys we got to help us, who left soon after to become pop stars.

Interview part 2, Charlie: How many copies did you make of your first single?
Operator: We did two EP’s in Australia - three tracks on each - and we made 500 copies of the first one and 500 of the second one, and then we had to do a re-release of 500., The second one has three tracks on the original - the third track was a throwaway which was fucked up after I left and re-mixed by the psycho guy, before he killed himself.

When you say “the surviving band member, you must mean a surviving member?”

He died with his girlfriend , and not as late as 1984, he can not be found on Leichenschrei or Information Overload Unit , he did not play at the Sydney Brickworks 1982, he died before that, ,also you will not see a photo of him or any video after 1980, you will just see Greame and the other guys,., ps he did record under another name (Solipsika) at M squard studio in sydney in 1980 the songs See Saw / Chambermusik

der track mit der größten antipathie, die ich je mit vorgetsellten tracks erzielt habe. außer slogun. aber egal, 2 referenztracks ausersuchten bügerschrecks. und das beste —– die werden immer funktionieren. ich liebe sie, nach wie vor.
July 17th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
so, someone was apparently pretending to be Neil & was the one who commited suicide in 84, then Not-Neil Hill’s girlfriend/wife died of anorexia
in other words, i’m totally confused now…
