Voodoo-U is the second studio album from Belgian electronic band Lords of Acid. It was released in 1994 on Rick Rubin's American Recordings label. The album begins the band's move from the techno and rave sounds of prior album Lust to a heavier, industrial music style. Lyrically the band maintains their outrageous, sex-and-drugs themes. Lead vocal duties on Voodoo-U were performed by Ruth McArdle. The album's first single, "The Crab Louse" was an ode to pubic lice.
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 artwork was designed by American hot-rod artist Coop.
Although not as universally praised as their debut album Lust, Voodoo-U earned positive reviews from music critics. With this album Lords of Acid ventured on their first world headlining tour with a full backing band.
As was the case with their Lust album, Voodoo-U was re-issued in 2001 as a "Stript" version, which removed all vocals.
