2nd and final album by a band lost much too early after the death of bassist Jimmy Fernandez.
First time on vinyl since 1994.
New vinyl transfer (by Frank Arkwright, Abbey Road) made from original production masters and now expanded to a 2LP set for maximum sonic fidelity.
The God Machine were an alternative rock band who were formed in San-Diego in 1990 and in their short lifespan released 2 highly influential albums on Fiction Records, ‘Scenes From The Second Storey’ (1992) and ‘One Last Laugh In A Place of Dying’ (1993).
Jim Chancellor, head honcho at Fiction writes, “The God Machine are one of the most unknow influencers of what is now known as post rock / metal. Citing praise from as diverse a bunch of artists as Tool, Rage Against the Machine, Mogwai, Converge, and many more”.
Arun Starkey of Far Out – The Independent Voice of Culture nails it when he says:
“The God Machine sound like nothing that came before them. They sound like The God Machine, whatever that is, and the name could not have been more fitting”.
Despite receiving glowing reviews for their 2 seminal albums and live performances supporting the likes of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Cramps, The Fall, My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Mary Chain, the band suffered from falling between 2 stools by being “too indie for the American audience and too rock for the UK audience”.
BBC Radio 1 DJ, John Peel, was a champion of the band and invited them to record sessions in April 1992 and March 1993.
