Turn On [Digipak] [Remaster]

The first album by The Music Machine is an archetypal garage rock document. It consists of the group's sole hit--the incomprehensibly weird, aggressively snotty two-minute wonder "Talk Talk"--a few less distinguished but oddly compelling originals, and the exact same covers as nearly every other garage band: "96 Tears", "Cherry Cherry", "Taxman", "See See Rider" and--yes, you guessed it--"Hey Joe".
Bandleader Sean Bonniwell and group recorded the album in one 10-hour session, and the lo-fi but rocking results sound like a very good bar band on a particularly hot night. "The People in Me" and "Masculine Intuition", two more stomping Bonniwell originals, were released as singles, but the band broke up even before the album was released. A new lineup's 1967 album on Warner Brothers called BONNIWELL MUSIC MACHINE disappeared almost immediately. Bassist Keith Olsen later produced classic albums by Fleetwood Mac, Heart and others.|
