about

"Machine started life as a completely different beat, tempo, vocal, everything. The idea was to just use a little sample from a famous old film, "sometimes they get into the machinery" but it didn’t work out. We ended up with a quite wordy song about internet induced inertia... machines spreading a soft kind of learned helplessness. Hypnosis by computer screen. That didn't really work either, until we slashed the lyric right down to a few shards."

-Richard Barratt, Crooked Man
