Micro-Phonies is the sixth full-length studio album by British electronic band Cabaret Voltaire. Released in November 1984, the album was the group's most mainstream hit to date, with the singles "Sensoria" and "James Brown" gaining popularity, especially the former, due to the music video finding MTV airplay. The album sees Cabaret Voltaire continuing to change, pursuing the more synthpop-oriented direction they had started shifting towards on The Crackdown.
All tracks written by Richard H. Kirk and Stephen Mallinder.
The video for "Sensoria" was directed by Peter Care, and attracted airplay on MTV. It was voted Best Video of the Year by the Los Angeles Times in 1985, and was later procured by the New York Museum of Modern Art.
A poster for the album is visible on Ferris Bueller's wall in the 1986 film Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
