I used to have a 6×4 foot poster of the image below. It was in my bedroom,then it was in our sitting room in the second year at university.

The group spent a small fortune creating the thing out of copper, zinc and magnets, all carefully machined, as well as a dining room table. At the end of nine months, Spear and the “New Mary,” an unnamed woman, went through a bizarre ritual that mimicked giving birth and the God Machine supposedly came to life. Unfortunately, it didn’t do much (some observers said nothing at all) and Spear allegedly moved the thing to Randolph, New York where it was smashed to bits by angry farmers. No known image of the “New Messiah” exists, but several illustrator have been made based on descriptions of the machine.

Also it was a band who recorded this song (right click > “save as”. You know that right?). It’s a shame the album’s not widely available, my copy really is on it’s last legs.
