"Supersonic is so damned catchy that you’d have to have a lobotomy not to remember it. A lot of bands leave me cold on the ole tune front when they have enough tech at their disposal BUT here is Eugene Machine knee deep in enough.. erm.. machines to build a James Bond baddie death ray to hold the world to ransom with. Thankfully they use it to play stompers like Scent of Money..."

"...They play a kind of bass funk heavy dance music with nods towards the Eurhythmics, 80s synth dance pop and elements of more traditional late 80s electro and dance... The thing i most like with 'The Machine' is the fatness of the rhyhm section and their grand and sharpish buildups. In the right club with the right crowd this band can really set things going..."
