Welcome to the Machine

Welcome to the Machine 475 Blog, complete with posts about the Machine 475 project, a music/art collaborative based in Boston and its community of loyal followers.

Formed in January 2006, Machine 475 is an ambitious prog-pop, multimedia project. Pop, rock, alternative, techno, trance, bluegrass, spoken word: it’s all here. Enjoy.

I've figured it out: this is the better way to add the tracks.

Machine 475 releases "Sinking Fast"



It is with great excitement that we announce our new album Sinking Fast.
Thanks to all of those who helped us get this out there. It has been a long time coming and we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.

DeSign

This sign photo was taken outside of the West End Theater in
Gloucester where we had an amazing night of dancing, visuals, and
quadraphonic sound.

Mastering is done!



We mastered "Sinking Fast" at Waltz Mastering in Watertown and Tom Waltz did a great job with it. We have never heard our tracks sound so warm, lush, and loud. Now we are on to completing the artwork and getting it ready for production. Our hope is that we will have it completed by the New Year.

Mini review in Boston Globe


Here's a notice/mini review in the Boston Globe, which came out in time for our Recital Hall gig. Nice! It's great that someone there actually listened to the album and made some relevant comments. Pity we didn't play "Blue Kentucky Skies" at the gig, but that may be nitpicking. By the way, we have an excellent live video from the Recital Hall which we're editing, and will post soon here. Check back soon.
