1) Experimental/Industrial Bosnian duo from Leipzig (http://www.myspace.com/machineria).
2) Swedish band formed in 2000. Band members include Jox on vocals, Tony on guitar, Christer on bass, Matt on drums and Olars on guitar. Some of their song include 'Sentimental', 'Barcode' and 'Plastic'.
3) Melodic alternative post-grunge fused with new metal, from Little Rock, Arkansas. New generation of intricate, multilayered rock; MACHINA is comprised of members from the bands FUTURE LEADERS OF THE WORLD (vocalist - Phil Taylor) and EVANESCENCE (guitarist - John LeCompt), with Thad Ables on bass and Justin Carder on drums.
4) Synth Band from the early 90's (Depeche Mode type) from Glasgow, Scotland. Unfortunately this is the only surviving footage on VHS. The tape had been stored away until Robert Marshall (the leather jacket wearing rocker in the video (and also the keyboard player)) dug it out and copied it onto DVD then converted by a friend of his and posted here on You-Tube. This song was actually used on a demo tape and submitted to Mute in the early 90's. Unfortunately the lead singer of the band sounded a bit to similar to another singer of a group that had been signed to Mute Records a decade earlier (no prizes for guessing that band).
5) A Finnish Heavy/Power Metal band hailing from Oulu, signed to Shark Records. After their debut EP "Dark Age Digital" (2006) they released their first full-length album "Majestic Machinations" in 2009. More info: http://www.machinametal.com/
6) An energetic slightly obsessive and extremely charming Korean artist based in Tokyo http://machina.link/

Machina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Darkest clouds could never
Shade the sun
You shine on me
Heart and see...
No matter what they say
I will be your friend
No matter what they pay
I won't sell you out
Plant this seed with me
Trust in love to take us to the bridge
And it's blossoming
We have one more chance
Take it now know there's
No turning back
Let's make it last
Wish you'd open your
Heart and see...
No matter what they say
I will be your friend
No matter what they pay
I won't sell you out
The time has come
For us to decide which way
That we will go...
Please forgive me
I stood by your side
Now you hang me
Leave me out to dry
No matter what they say...
No matter what they say
I will be your friend
No matter what they pay
I won't sell you out
Trust by Machina is a song about a person who is always there for someone they care about, no matter what anyone else says or does.

The song builds to a chorus that repeats the lines, "No matter what they say, I will be your friend, no matter what they pay, I won't sell you out."
The lyrics highlight the importance of trust in any relationship, whether it is with a significant other or a friend. The singer asks the person they care about to trust in love and take a chance with them.

The final verse of the song speaks of a decision that needs to be made about which way the relationship will go, and the singer hopes that forgiveness can be given for past mistakes in the relationship.
Overall, Trust is a song about loyalty, forgiveness, and the importance of maintaining trust in any relationship.
