Our Little Secret is the third studio album from Belgian electronic band Lords of Acid. It was released in 1997 on Antler-Subway Records. Both musically and lyrically,Lords of Acid maintain the industrial music and sexually charged songs found on their previous album Voodoo-U . Lead vocal duties on Our Little Secret were performed by Jade 4 U. The front CD cover is a photo of a woman from the waist up,while the unfolded CD cover booklet is the completed full-body photograph which reveals an outline of a penis in her blue jeans.
Displaying the band's trademark tongue-in-cheek humor,the back cover of the album presented Our Little Secret as a live recording of a classical music concert,as presented by "The Lords of Acid Orchestra". The song titles are presented with faux,intentionally pretentious parentheticals pertaining to classical pieces.
Our Little Secret was the first Lords of Acid album to hit the U.S. Billboard 200,peaking at number 100. As was the case with their Lust and Voodoo-U albums,Our Little Secret was re-issued in 2001 as a "Stript" version,which removed all vocals. The album features one of their most recognizable hits,"Pussy". [3]
In advance of the album's release,Never Records revealed that 170,000 copies of the album had been shipped to retailers. [4]
The album's lead single,"Rubber Doll",went into late-night rotation on some modern rock radio stations,including KTCL in Denver. [4]
All tracks are written by Praga Khan, Jade 4 U and Oliver Adams.

The Electric Prunes are an American psychedelic rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1965. Much of the band's music was, as music historian Richie Unterberger described it, possessed of "an eerie and sometimes anguished ambiance." It mainly consisted of material by songwriters Annette Tucker and Nancie Mantz, though the group also penned their own songs. Incorporating psychedelia and elements of embryonic electronic rock, the band's sound was marked by innovative recording techniques with fuzz-toned guitars and oscillating sound effects. In addition, guitarist Ken Williams' and singer James Lowe's concept of "free-form garage music" provided the band with a richer sonic palette and exploratory lyrical structure than many of their contemporaries.
