Time Machines is a 1998 album by English experimental group Coil, originally released under the alias Time Machines. The album was created under the premise of drones named after hallucinogenic chemicals, "tested and retested" in the studio for apparent narcotic potency. Main member John Balance also described the album as an attempt to create "temporal slips".
pierrelefou Time Machines has the amazing ability to make me relax and not feel so nihilistic when the world's got me down. Maybe that's what the drugs the album references do, if so, it does a very good job of translating that feeling to a different format. Each of the four pieces on Time Machines is named after the chemical compound of the hallucinogenic drug that they were composed for, and the album was meticulously crafted to enable what John Balance referred to as "temporal slips" in time and space, allowing both the artist and audience to figuratively "dissolve time".
Inspired by the Coil album 'Time Machines' (read a great description of the album at . .I swear to god it affected the dreams I had. Fucking amazing.
Time Machines" is very effective. Coil certainly displays an ability to use frequencies and tones to cause psychophysical change in the listener. Whereas their album "How to Destroy Angels" is psychoactive, with "Time Machines" there is more emphasis on raw vibration, thus affecting the body as well as the mind, or perhaps we can say, hypothetically of course, that "Time Machines" resonates with the listener on a level where the mind and body meet. I'm fascinated with how some critics and non-critics don't get it. I think it's because they've never been confronted with music that is actually functional: functional in the sense that it has a purpose in an environment. Jhonn, Sleazy and Drew created Time Machines to facilitate time travel and momentary displacement. I've read that many non-drug utilizers get the same kicks from it.

Time Machines track list. Time Machines is Coil's landmark drone music album, released under the alias Time Machines. It consists of four tracks which are composed of a single tone, called a drone. Each tone represents a certain hallucinogenic chemical (see track titles).
Time Machines was a pseudonym of Coil, under which two albums were released: "Time Machines" in 1998 and "Coil Present Time Machines" (Time Machines Live) in 2000. The project was based heavily on experimentation with drone. A five-disc Time Machines box set was announced in 1998 but never developed. A two-disc version was announced in January 2006 as a future release, but there has been no further evidence on this being released either.
