There are at least three groups that call themselves The Machines: (1) A Russian Electronic group created by Anton Neumark, on the ataraxy records label. (2) A Belgian melodic pop-group around Paul Despieghelaere from the beginning of the 1980's.

They write music in the best tradition of the Beatles and Talking Heads. Read more on Last.fm
