- Machine in the Garden was formed in the mid-1990s by Roger Fracé and Summer Bowman, who have been the core members of the band ever since.
- The band's name comes from a poem by William Blake, which describes a "satanic mill" that functions like a "machine in the garden," disrupting the natural world.
- Machine in the Garden's music is often categorized as "ambient" or "darkwave," and is known for its lush, atmospheric soundscapes.
- The lyrics of "Time" reflect a recurring theme in Machine in the Garden's music, which explores issues of mortality, memory, and the passage of time.
- The band is known for its elaborate live performances, which often feature elaborate costumes, stage sets, and projections.
- Machine in the Garden has released nine albums to date, including "One Winter's Night," "Asphodel," and "Shadow Puppets."
- The band has also collaborated with a number of other artists, including Black Tape for a Blue Girl and Faith and the Muse.
- In addition to her role in Machine in the Garden, Bowman has also worked as a backing vocalist for other bands, including the legendary gothic rock band The Mission.
"Time" was originally from Asphodel only. It was never on "One Winter's Night..." Roger formed the band as a solo project, Summer came later in 1997. The band's name is not from a poem by William Blake. The band has never had an elaborate live performance with costumes and sets. The band has never collaborated with Black Tape or Faith and the Muse. Bowman never did vocals for The Mission.
