The God Machine - The train song (HD) (One Last Laugh In A Place Of Dying 1994)

The God Machine was an alternative 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 and across Europe.
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" 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.

I am forever 14 with this song. Sitting with my headphones on, realising that pretty much everything I listened to didn;t really matter any more. 20 years later i'm still gazing into the distance. Best album ever for me.

What we need now is the deserved deluxe reissue of their 2 excellent albums...

Tragic the demise of God Machine the best trio ever and to this day 2 of the finest albums recorded. Hardly ever off my turntable all these years later.

I find Sophia to be more of the same genius, more of the same pain/darkness... just presented differently. I prefer God Machine to Sophia, and if I'm listening to Sophia I prefer it when it's not balladry and has more electricity to it... but I think it's all good. How God Machine never found a wider audience is beyond me, and I'm also puzzled about why Sophia isn't better known. Love all this stuff!
