Comment: The Australian Skye Klein is known by his participations in such projects as Halo and Terminal Sound System, yet my favorite endeavour by him is A Beautiful Machine, an epic shoegaze project, which decently reflected upon the angst feeling of a pre-millennium change, and some new directions during the post-Slowdive/MBV era. Indeed, similarly to Slowdive`s Pygmalion (1995) it is heavily abstract and warm simultaneously, full of suggestive guitar manipulations and progressions, atmospheric yet psyched-out vocal howls, and mellow noise washes. Actually, the term shoegaze does mean way too little nowadays, so let`s complement the term, however, it is clustered with abrupt yet dreamy chasing along the midway of stoner visions and ambient . Aarghh, it is a majestic yet forgotten (actually undiscovered) shoegaze gem.
