Most famous for Talk Talk, a Top 20 single from 1966 that was one of the most manic 60s garage-punk hits, the Music Machine had much more depth and songwriting talent than the typical one-hit wonders of the day. Lead singer and songwriter Sean Bonniwells strangled lyrics and dark, verbose vision paced the groups wiry psychedelic guitar lines and ominous, minor-key Farfisa organ. Only one album was released with the original lineup, and the groups 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.
