Rarely Heard: Tin Machine - Under the God



I assume most of us will ask: Tin Machine - who's that? First of all a rock band playing good guitar-oriented alternative pop. It's also the band with which David Bowie wanted to step back from his stardom, go back to his roots and play as a normal member in the confines of a 'normal' rock band with gigs in samll clubs. Formed in 1989 the combo lasted for three albums, the first album got a lot of media attention due to Bowie's participation and the song Under the God did become a minor MTV hit. It all didn't last long, Bowie successfully continued his career under his own name and Tin Machine (considering the views their clips get at YouTube) have become forgotten.
