Background notes
Archive material and source history
Machine Translations was a UK band that formed in 1980, with Richard Harrow on vocals, Ian Hughes on guitar, Michael Cash on bass, and Peter Smith on drums. They put out records like 'Electricity' in 1981 and 'The Bleeding Heart' in 1983, mixing electronic sounds with punk and industrial elements. Their cover of '9 Tin Souls' got some attention, though it also stirred up complaints from certain listeners.
Their lyrics often dealt with alienation and social issues, which some found too bleak. They kept at it through the '80s, releasing 'Lost in Translation' in 1987 and 'The Omega Point' in 1989. The band called it quits in 1992.
