Voodoo-U was re-issued again with bonus tracks ('Young Boys Go To Studio 54', 'Lords on 45' 'Crablouse', 'Real Thing'). With this album Lords of Acid ventured on their first world headlining tour with a full backing band. The artwork was designed by American hot-rod artist Coop.Īlthough not as universally praised as debut album Lust, Voodoo-U earned positive reviews from music critics. The album's cover art was available in both a censored and uncensored version - the uncensored version featuring nude, fluorescent-orange-colored lesbian devils having a sexual orgy. The album's first single, 'The Crablouse', is an ode to pubic lice.
Lead vocal duties on Voodoo-U are performed by Ruth McArdle and backing vocals by Jade 4U, while some songs feature only Jade 4U. Lyrically the band maintains their outrageous, sex-and-drugs themes. The album begins the band's move from the rave sounds of predecessor Lust to a heavier, industrial music style. It was released in 1994 on Rick Rubin's American Recordings label. Voodoo-U is the second studio album from Belgian electronic band Lords of Acid.
