THE MUSIC MACHINE

DOUG RHODES, RON EDGAR, SEAN BONNIWELL, MARK LANDON, KIETH OLSEN

Best known for their 1960s classic “Talk Talk,” the Music Machine played a tense version of garage rock characterized by psychedelic guitars, Farfisa organ, and the bandmember's moptops and matching black outfits.

SLEEVE VG+ but (please, see pictures and read above description)

Only one album was released with the original lineup, and the group's ferocious energy was diluted on subsequent recordings. Despite chalking up only one more minor hit single ("The People in Me"), the Music Machine recorded quite a few excellent, imaginatively produced singles and album tracks that found them exploring the darker side of psychedelia with compelling intensity and imagination. Poor management and some incredibly bad decision-making led to their dissolution at the time, but Bonniwell is still something of a musical legend in the 21st century, and "Talk Talk" is regarded as a garage punk classic...(AllMusic)
