Crazy Machines

Much like a frantic movie about “unfinished business” or “the one that got away,” Secret Machines spent the past few years finally putting the finishing touches on what should have been their fourth LP. Long regarded as a lost album, The Moth, The Lizard and the Secret Machines was actually put on pause in 2010 and massaged in the aftermath of 2020’s return-to-form record Awake in the Brain Chamber.

Visionary Renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci designed and sketched many inventions that were centuries ahead of their time. He was obsessed with flight theory and aerodynamics, so many of his drawings were of innovative flying machines—most of which were never built during his lifetime. They existed only as ideas in da Vinci's fertile imagination and as sketches in his famous notebooks—until now!

Kim Carnes' Crazy in the Night is a budget-priced collection of most of her 1980-1986 hits. However, it does not include her 1981 chart-topping smash "Bette Davis Eyes." That song is readily available elsewhere, so try to ignore its unfortunate omission and focus on the 12 songs at hand. Carnes – whose husky vocal rasp makes it easy to christen her and Bonnie Tyler female versions of Rod Stewart – first broke into the business as a nightclub and session singer and was a member of the New Christy Minstrels. Although she worked as a songwriter for MOR and country artists such as Barbara Streisand and Kenny Rogers, Carnes attempted to crack the pop and rock markets.
