The Machines 1990-1993
The Machines Series was the original plan for Simple Machines. Back in
1989, Jenny and then partner Brad Sigal figured it would be a challenge to
put out 6 compilations 7"s, and if they succeeded and got to the end, they
would know whether they wanted to continue as a full-fledged label. The
answer, by 1993, was obviously "Yes".
Since it was impossible to keep all this stuff in
print, we compiled all six 7"s on one 80 minute CD, which not only
recaptures the glorious sounds of our first release, but all six of the
machine 4-band compilation 7"s that are now out of print -
WEDGE - * Geek * Hated * Lungfish * Esdel.
WHEEL - * Holy Rollers * The Juliana Experience
PULLEY - *Bricks * My New Boyfriend * Nation Of Ulysses *
Mommyheads
SCREW - * Geek * Velocity Girl * Jawbox * Candy Machine
LEVER - * Autoclave * Severin * Circus Lupus * Scrawl
INCLINED PLANE - * Tsunami * Rodan * Superchunk * Unrest
The CD comes complete with a twelve page info-packed
booklet which explain the making of the series.
