Machine - Machine | Wewantsounds (WWSLP68)

Explore the rare funk album "Machine" by Machine, originally released in 1972 and reissued on vinyl for the first time in decades. Remastered with original artwork and new liner notes, this album features socially-conscious funk and earthy soul.

Masterminded by singer and guitarist Michael Watson, accompanied by bass player Curtis McTeer and drummer Donald McCoy, "Machine" offers a superb mix of hard-hitting funk and soul. Recorded at the New Jersey-based All Platinum studios, the album showcases the talents of seasoned session musicians and orchestrator Sammy Lowe.

Kicking off with the funk killer "Time is Running Out," featuring a Hammond organ-led groove and powerful brass section, the album maintains its momentum with soulful ballads like "Only People Can Save the World" and protest songs like "World." The album closes with the deep funk instrumental "Lock Your Door" and the sixties soul track "Boots in the Snow."

Despite its rarity, "Machine" resurfaces thanks to Wewantsounds, bringing back funky gems for soul and funk enthusiasts.
