2. No Say In It (1984 - Big Music)
The 1st single from album2 was synth electro glory & biggest chart hit. “You've got no say in it
She's known danger, she can make her own way…She's pure instinct, she should make her own way”

3. Cars & Planes (1989 Album - Uptown)
Final single of their first incarnation only hit #105 on the singles chart; huge fan of this joyous pop bliss bomb, so much energy & fun despite some offstage challenges for the band.

4. Pressure Sway (1983 - Album: Esteem)

The band’s breakthrough hit single #21 combined dance, new wave synth and rock in the distinctive Machinations style. The play on “precious way/pressure sway” was always a fun element.

5. My Heart’s on Fire (1985 - Album: Big Music)
2nd single from their 2nd album continued the hot run of hits at #27, a new wave joy both danceable and surprisingly lower tempo with its haunting refrain “don’t believe him”

6. Average Inadequacy (1981)
The band’s debut #98 single from the self-titled EP; a great blend of new wave era innovation & explorations of the dance energy they would later develop further. This is the extended club mix.

7. Do To You (1987 - album: Uptown (1988)
One of the band’s biggest hit singles, skirting the top 10, this electric groove stomper maintains the seductive edge that fuels their dance style. Hard to resist the beat!

8. Spark (1985 - b-side to My Hearts on Fire)
One of those instrumental tracks you let keep playing on the vinyl single & 💗. A sombre jazz tune yet so machinations, that reminds me of the end of summer days & shimmering heat.

9. Execution of Love (1985, Album: Big Music)
The final 4th single from 2nd album Big Music didnt trouble the singles chart but is so wonderfully 80s with so many new wave sounds and flourishes to love

10. You Got Me Going Again (1985, Album: Big Music)
The 3rd single from their 2nd album just broke the top 50 at #49; mid-tempo pure Machinations with 💋harmonies, beats and Fred’s uniquely underrated vocals and phrasing.

11. Castle Hunting (1983) (Album: Esteem)

A wild Blancmange-Cure style dark pop flurry conjuring for me the early days of city nights, excitement and underlying dread/anticipation in new wave genre mashing. An early fave.

12. Do It To Me (1988)

The band’s 2nd last single from the Uptown album (not to be confused with 1st single “Do To You”) was a sexy sax groove riot which feels more familiar than its ahem inappropriate #69 chart performance.

13. Jumping the Gap (1983)

A 1983 non-album single found the band exploring the new wave rock sound with snappy lyrics and their funky dance grooves still surfacing in a fascinating brew. A simmering summer tune.

14. One Closer Step (May, 1986)

A deeper electronica leaning cut from the band w/influences of pre-fame Human League & experimental dance, from remix album “The Big Beat”. I love the women’s vocals that play a winning role*

15. Jack (Jan, 1983)

1st chartless single from their debut album was their punkiest, wildcat track; an ode to the Beat poets with its “Jack Kerouac” refrain with flavours reminiscent of Talking Heads, Devo & Split Enz.

Machinations are a new wave, synth alt-pop/dance/electro-funk live band formed in 1979/launched live in 1980; distinctive in Aus. for using a drum machine when pub rock ethos frowned on this rebellious alt-dance artistry. Still performing 45 years on…

Picture of the BBC House of Cards trilogy DVD box set – UK version.

The 14y/old’s delighted charity shop find this summer. Just completed all 3 series. Not just great writing and performances, but yet again, feels searingly relevant today.

It's a #temptation that finds the #powerful, to imagine #machinations that would intend to carry over the autonomy of another. #control #Nairobi
