The God Machine: Great Lost band?

Great piece, thanks so much!

It reminded me of buying One Last Laugh... and then weirdly not being able to listen to it for weeks, I recall wondering to myself if people ten years older than me had the same problem when Closer came out.

This is intense, RPS smashes his guitar in the first few seconds so the song becomes a vocals, bass, drums and extended Voix Bulgares freak out jam.

Thanks Ned. I feel we're really reaching the point where, without efforts to keep their memory alive, this band will be completely forgotten, engulfed under the waves of time.

Have hoped there might be an e.p. compilation at some point. I think I didn't get them all at the time so would like a one stop you could find them at.

Yeah, that would be nice for sure.

God, what a band. That live set is fantastic.

Just idly noting that Scenes OG vinyl currently going for £530 on Discogs.

missed this three weeks ago - thank you Maresn3st!

someone needs to reissue this stuff, yes, the second hand prices for the vinyl and even the CD are stupid

It would be nice, yes.

I suppose I could ask around re: masters ownership, my best friend knows Robin.

but I'd guess they are lost, missing, or tied up in some shit

definitely look into an e.p. collection.

& I don't think they had a live lp during their lifetime did they?

No - two albums, 4 EP's, and that's it.

thank you again!

No problem, I'll keep posting them when they come up, it's a shame there's not a good radio recording or a live album.

Thank you! The frustration remains - you just know someone at some venue must be sitting on a soundboard recording but they're keeping quiet...

At this point what I would really want is a remaster of the first album which always sounded a bit muffled

Where do they keep finding these? :-)

The channel is kinda amazing in its own way, with scores of mid-tier toilet circuit indie gigs going back to the shambling era and a sprinkling of larger concerts.

If you want to hear what Milk, Sun Carriage, or The Chesterfields sounded like then this is your channel :)

omg that channel is all my early-90s London toilet circuit support band nightmares returning to life! He even has a live set by a band I auditioned for once, a tryout which was thankfully a failure.

Well now you have to tell us which band.

It'd be about the only mention of them on the internet apart from the Youtube set so I'll spare any self-Googling band members the embarrassment.

Clue: it wasn't Lush

Gay Dad?

Ron Austin is apparently going to be on this show today at 4 pm BST (although there is a Mixcloud archive by the looks of things) talking about TGM and his new project Mercylane.
