Heavily influenced by acts like Yazoo, Human League, Depeche Mode, Rational Youth and Robert Marlow, Richard Johansson and Leslie Bayne started the band in 1988 under the name Pole Position.
Robert Enforsen joined the band as lead vocalist in 1989, and the band released their first demo, at which point they changed their name to elegant MACHINERY, a name derived from the album by Data.
Due to Leslie Bayne's stagefright, Johan Malmgren joined the band as a tour musician in 1992. He later became a permanent member.
The band was very successful in Sweden, with a number of successful singles and various awards. In the rest of Europe, their biggest break into the mainstream was with the single Process, which reached number 5 in the Spanish charts.
elegant MACHINERY disbanded in 1999.
In 2001, the band temporarily reunited (with Johan temporarily replaced by Jarmo Ollila of Daily Planet) for their first-ever American appearance, followed by a performance in Mexico. Over the next few years, the band performed a number of times in Europe.
In October 2004, after a successful gig at Romo Night in Gothenburg, the band decided to work on new music. Johan, Richard, and Robert have been joined by original member Leslie Bayne, and plan to release a new single in 2006.
During the band's hiatus, Robert Enforsen worked on a number of side projects, including Enforce, Hype, Gobble & Gag, and Red Light District. Meanwhile, Johan Malmgren joined the Swedish band S.P.O.C.K as a keyboardist, programmer and composer. Johan and Robert also produced the debut album "Lost in a Maze" of the Swedish-British band Univaque in 2004.
Save Me
Elegant Machinery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It still relates the fact, that I
Am lost in this peculiar dream
Your expressions make my scene
You entertain me
Every night and day, my life
Is built upon your secret smiles
Save me save me from myself
Sweet inspiration changed my wretched thoughts
Save me save me from myself
Sweet motivation in the words you brought
Transparent words
Enfolds my disbelief, your voice
Illuminates my doubtfullness
You´ve changed me more or less
It feels so good to hear you
Spell my name, so soft
Are all those words you aim at me
Apparently you
Save me save me from myself
Sweet inspiration changed my wretched thoughts
Save me save me from myself
Sweet motivation in the words you brought
