1993
The God Machine was a rock band active in the first half of the 1990s. Its members were all from San Diego, California, U.S., but they all lived and performed mainly in the United Kingdom. Subsequently, they were one of the few foreign acts to play at the short-lived Repre club in the Obecni dum in Prague
The band consisted of three members, Robin Proper-Sheppard (born Gary Sheppard) (guitar/vocals), Jimmy Fernandez (bass) and Ronald Austin (drums), and they first performed officially under the name The God Machine in 1991. They released an EP, Purity with the record label Eve, and were later given contracts with the label Fiction. They released two albums in their career, both with their trademark dark and industrial-sounding alternative rock, before Jimmy Fernandez suddenly died from a cancerous brain tumour. Robin went on to form The Flower Shop Recordings label, and bands Sophia and The May Queens.
Their second album, One Last Laugh in a Place of Dying, was recognized by Alternative Press as one of the "90 greatest albums of the 90s" (#88) in their December 1998 issue.
Their San Diego incarnation was called Society Line and also featured guitarist Albert Amman, who left the band before its move to London. - Hudba
It is indeed a masterpiece of an album. Yet it still keeps getting overlooked. The music press raited it highly upon release. A lost treasure of the 90’s. It deserves so much more recognition.
This band was so ahead of its time. They have been a favorite of mine for almost 20 years now.
Was lucky to see them in Amsterdam at the Paradiso in 93. Someone needs to compile everything and put out a discography on vinyl.
I used to find this album hard to play at times, not because I did not like it, in fact the opposite, the raw intensity, the depth, never easy to digest but so rewarding.
This band was so good that I not even mentioned it to my best friends. I was afraid that they would never understand the greatness of it. I actually met Robin after a Sophia show in stockholm. Nice dude! Number one record of all time!!!!!!
one of the best songs in the world
Timeless classic! Such a beautiful song.
So good! Such a shame these guys never got the recognition they deserved. Gotta agree with James' comment -- this album is a masterpiece.
a friend lent me this - don't where that friend is anymore but this has never left my side
the most beautifull song ever....
forever in my heart....... beatiful band
While I spent the Nineties throwing myself around to Mega City Four, Senseless Things, Leatherface and the like, I saw The God Machine many times and they were really very good. Excellent two albums.
Un morceau d'anthologie, la musique de God machine est d'une beauté et d'une mélancolie incroyables, quand je réécoute cette musique, je suis ailleurs, dans un nirvana ou je pourrais peut être croiser Jimmy fernandez, leur bassiste trop vite disparu. MAGNIFIQUE !!
A friend sent this link to me on hearing that my wife and companion of 18 years had died. Damn what a fucking perfectly beautiful song.I know she would have loved it.
God Machine was a band before its time and mis-understood. Glad they had success overseas. I picked up Scenes from the Second Story by chance in a record store 8 years ago and have been a fan since then. Everyone i ever ask here in the USA have never heard of them, their loss. So now i let them rip copies of my two cd's or point them to youtube.
Thanks for keeping God Machine - Alive in music
Achingly sad and beautiful at the same time. While I'm truly grateful for the music they left us, I really believe their third album would have been their zenith; however, what they left us was and still is some of the greatest music ever written.
Beautifully desolate!
Agreed friend. 8 years later and forever 😰🌟😰
SIMPLY MISS THESE GUYS...
Really, the most beautifull song ...
Exceptional musicianship. With all the tragic losses over the years, life can have real gravity at times. First listened to this in July, 1994, whilst visiting someone who had a top floor flat overlooking the city of Bath. Left me speechless, for hours...
amazing song, amazing band. i wish they made more music.
I came back 11 years later to say this is still the best fucking music. I hope I come back in 11 years.
man i havent heard this tune for so many years... i had a bunch of these guys stuff on a banged up old cassette that was given to me back in the dark ages but it was unmarked so i had no song info... all i knew was the name of the band but i recognised this immediately... thanks so much for posting, i never thought i'd hear this stuff again.... nice 1! ;)
every single song on this album is great. i have known this band for 10 years or so. cant get tired of it. it´s just like pink floyd the wall
Sono sempre indeciso su quali pezzi mettere al mio funeral, ma questo ci entra di diritto . Sempre nel cuore
The soft vocals make me think of Low.
gruppo immenso,meraviglioso,indimenticabile,davvero unici in tutto e´per tutto
mai piu´eguagliati.per me i migliori di tutti i tempi,a mio modesto parere
Il tuo modesto parere incontra il mio. Immensi. God machine sempre nei ns cuori. Un saluto
@@marcopassoni2996ed il mio di parere. Un gruppo che non si può dimenticare. Soprattutto il primo album per me ovviamente. Immensità siderale. Lirismo interiore.
Sono d'accordo, il secondo album è tristissimo, purtroppo x ovvi motivi. Anche il progetto Sophia di Sheppard mi piace molto, pur non suonando come i God. Ma l'essenza è quella
@@marcopassoni2996 il secondo album forse non era nemmeno completato. Non lo so. Ovviamente era un momento difficile. Però nel secondo trovo pochi brani che mi convincono. ( Almeno per me). In bad Dreams stupenda. Ma non è tanto per la tristezza (che c'è) è per lo stile meno insolito, meno cattedralico, meno simbolico, meno corale,meno imprevedibile....oserei dire più commerciale. Sophia onestamente non è minimamente i God. È un altro mondo che non mi fa impazzire. Scenes from the Second Storey resta qualcosa di indimenticabile e piuttosto unico. Vanta di un universo misterioso e profondo. Lodato, ma non abbastanza. Ma è uno tra i dischi più importanti della musica. Forse, e dico forse, Fernandez era assai importante per le canzoni. R.i.p.
masterpiece +1 raytrace
j adore
wow....amazing
Прекрасно
jammer dat deze band niet meer verder kon, ik was en ben nog steeds fan
nice song! das waren zeiten!
How could they write with such comforting poignancy before the tragedy? No-one deserves what happened... but they deserved it less than anyone I can think of.
what happened
@@nothingmatters298 the bassist, sadly, extremely sadly, died
Great song indeed.
Why do all the things have to change...
great
Mi fa sanguinare il cuore e mi predispone per il trapasso. Indispensabili. Love
Amazing !!
Loved that song, More than a girl:(
Choice rarity G., not many heard of this band.
so awesome to listen to this songs
started pukkelpop 1997, i was instandly lost in their creation. Godmachine lingers in my head
1993
I think one day this album will be categorised as a great work of art at the same heights of let's say the French poets of the 19th century. It never let me down ;)
amazing. how did a 36 year old music nerd like me miss this band?
Because you are not old enough. 🙄
, ❤️
Great.
Amo
Saw these guys at Roskilde festival in the mid 9'ties - intense and very memorable in spite of equally excessive use of.... Yeah all kinds
... this is some kind of pinnacle beyond which there's only ever some kind of descent...
Godmachine were one of the best bands ever! I love their LPs, unfortunately i cannot find some bands which are similar to this guys. Do someone know some similar bands like Godmachine?
Warrior Soul!
Check out SubRosa very similar tone and feel captures some of that epic desolate quality that God Machine had.
Bedhead
Sophia, in qualche modo
Try Mint 400 another one album wonder band but amazing.
Badada... badada...
Check out new music project from TGM’s drummer Austin - Mercylane 🖤
音楽に人種は関係ない。言葉がわからなくても悲しくも美しい。
Peut être la plus belle chanson mélancolique que je connaisse avec celle de Frankie goes to Hollywood, The power of love.
Please
so do I
//purebeauty
i love sad. i love minor chords
Why are they not on Spotify or itunes?
perhaps sophia is more interesting...for them.
dude sickness

The first part is like.......Slint.
Everyone was confused at the time. Am I metal or do I continue taking the mdma....... Psudeo squat house. High 24/7? Anyone,?
