Machine

Machine was a studio disco group on RCA. Formed by August Darnell - previously of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band and, later in the 1980's, Kid Creole and the Coconuts.

"There but for the grace of God there go I" was their biggest disco hit - the funky hi-NRG rhythm and catchy track made it sample fodder for the house-music fad of the 1990's. Disco purists should also listen out for the more groovy "Is it love".

There but for the grace of God go I / Get your body ready (RCA 12" 11457, 1979) Marisa / You've come a long way (RCA 12" 11707, 1979) Power and reason (RCA 12" 11906, 1980) Is it love / I finally found (RCA 12" 11943, 1980)
