Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost…

If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "The humans are dead" or possibly, "It's heartbeat is timeshare..."

Today's episode looks at "Machines (or 'Back to Humans')", the bombastic Taylor/May collaboration from 1984's "The Works".

NOTE: Skip forward to 19:09 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.

The music at the end of the episode is "Humble Pie" (not cake) by Absofunkinlutely. You can find it here! https://youtu.be/fCSRnIrUk-A

There is also a clip from the brilliant bubblegum pop track "Take You There" by Teddi Gold and Cyberattack that you can find here: https://youtu.be/-7FvQSBfgh8
